The Learn Microsoft Project 2013 advanced training is built around simplifying your life and helping your project succeed. This course is a continuation of the training.

Project planning and management is both an art and a science. And we cover both sides in this latest course. Without the right tools, it can become overwhelming. That’s why, in this course, your trainer will present the advanced project management features Microsoft Project has to offer.

By the end of this program you will be able:

• Share resources across multiple projects.
• Consolidate projects.
• Produce multiple project reports.
• Customize Views, Tables, Filters and Groups.
• Interact with Word processors, Spreadsheets and Database Packages.
• Use new and interesting features of the product.

This course has been designed for those who have some experience with Microsoft Project and who wish to become familiar with some of the more advanced features of the product.  It is particularly useful for those who have been using earlier versions of the product and who wish to become conversant with some of the new features in Microsoft Project 2010.

Project Managers and other business professionals who are familiar with Microsoft Project 2013 (or previous versions) and are looking to deepen their knowledge with more advanced skills.
