Microsoft Project Training at Your Location

Now more than ever it's important for organizations to manage projects of all sizes both correctly and efficiently. In Malcolm Gladwell's book "blink", he stresses that in light of today's economy, now is in fact the right time for organizations to invest in developing and retaining top talent. "When it's easy to make money, you have no incentive to think about development of talent. Now, you're forced to."

Do you have a group of individuals in your organization who need to learn how to correctly develop schedules, evaluate risks, plan costs, or manage shared resources across multiple projects with Microsoft Project? If your answer is "yes", then our no fluff hands-on technical training courses are exactly what you've been looking for!

Schedule Associates utilizes a convenient "flat fee" pricing structure for all on-site classes.

The per class flat fee covers a group of 1-10 students. If you have one person who needs training, or ten, it's all the same price. Do you have more than ten employees who could benefit from training? Great! There's simply a per person fee for each additional student after the initial ten. Microsoft Project classes are capped at 20 attendees.

All instructor travel and related expenses are included in the flat fee price, plus all of your student manuals and student supplies. Wow!

We would look to you to provide:

An appropriate room for technical training (no pillars or posts)
A pc with Microsoft Project for each student to use during class
A specified deposit to schedule an instructor and lock in your desired training dates
A signed Letter of Agreement
