“By combining curriculum from Project and SharePoint, this class taught me to manage a project plan and publish it and more information to a project website without any technical expertise!"

“I thought Microsoft products were so easy to use that I didn’t need training.  After learning the formal process that goes into planning and scheduling I am able to use the tools to proactively manage projects – not just as a historical tracking tool.”
