The topics are occasionaly changed and the course can be tailored to ensure the most comprehensive and effective training possible is delivered at this level. An instructor will discuss this with you.
A Foundation / Intermediate course is also available. The Foundation Project course is suited to trainees with no previous experience of this application and require a basic knowledge of MS Project. The Intermediate course is usually taken afterwards. The Foundation/Intermediate course is quite comprehensive and covers a wider range of topics than a standard Foundation course but is still suitable for trainees with no prior experience of Microsoft Project; it is more demanding than the Foundation course but is a format that has proven to be popular since it provides trainees with many of the skills they require in a single day.
