Who should attend Project Courses?
Our Microsoft Project training courses were designed for those who need to use Project in the workplace. From beginner to advanced, our trainers will work through exercises in a class environment with plenty of time for questions. Our Microsoft project course is also ideal for those who want to use it to manage multiple projects, including the task and resource costs of those projects.
What version of Microsoft Project is this course based on?
Our Microsoft Project courses are delivered using the most recent version of MS Project desktop.
What is Remote Training?
Remote Microsoft Project training at Nexacu means our team of experienced trainers will deliver your training virtually. With remote Microsoft project training, students can access our usual classroom training courses via video conferencing, ask questions, participate in discussions and share their screen with the trainer if they need help. Students in Microsoft project online training have the same level of participation and access to the trainer as they would in classroom training sessions. Please note we require Microsoft Project to be installed, as per our remote training instructions.
Which courses are available if I am working from home?
Currently, all of our Public Courses are available to be delivered remotely. Book any Microsoft Project course as normal and you will receive login details and instructions the evening before your course.
I previously attended a course with Excel Consulting, will the training be similar?
Yes, we rebranded from Excel Consulting in October 2019. The business quickly outgrew its original name.
