Microsoft Project Professional is the industry standard for project planning and control in construction. This training series is tailored for construction professionals—Project Managers, Superintendents, and Executives—who already have a solid foundation in MS Project and want to take their skills to the next level.
If you’ve completed Microsoft Project Professional: The Basics or have equivalent experience, this next-level course will help you better track progress, manage resources, and control multi-project programs with confidence and precision.
This course is part of the MBI LIVE training series and is presented virtually via Zoom by David Mills of ZenTek Consultants. Each session of “Microsoft Project Professional – Intermediate” provides 2 Project Management credits toward the prestigious Master Builder Designation, making it a valuable opportunity for those looking to advancing their professional development.
