About Square One

Any Square One course can be tailored to meet the particular requirements of your organisation.
We will be happy to use any of your examples for delegates to ensure that the course is as interesting and relevant as possible.

Course Objectives

To give delegates a more in-depth understanding of Project Management terminology and the core features of Microsoft Project.

As the course covers terminology and practices of Project Management it is not only suitable for Project Managers who wish to make use of this powerful tool, but also those who have had the New User Level Training or are self taught to a high level.

Pre-requisites :We make every effort to ensure that only delegates of similar experience are grouped on this course. Delegates must have a good understanding of Microsoft Project.
