The training course wasn’t suited to my situation; I’m new to MS Project and wanted to learn the basics,I only work on the scheduling side; the course covers scheduling, resources and costs, which I don’t need at the moment. The trainer was attentive and willing to take the time to answer all my questions. Thank you for the support, which will be very useful to me,
