Project is one of the most popular scheduling and project management programs on the market. This version of Project will look and feel familiar to those who have used earlier versions of the software. However, there are new features, such as multiple timelines, improved resource scheduling, and the natural-language help feature, called Tell Me.
By the end of Microsoft Project 2016 Part One, users should be comfortable with creating a basic project. The first part of Velsoft’s two-part Microsoft Project 2016 training package?begins with an introductory look at starting a project, and over the course of four more lessons discusses working with project calendars, tasks, resources, and delivering a project plan.
Each Velsoft course package comes complete with all the tools you need to deliver a comprehensive training session, including an instructor guide, student manual, quick reference guide, PowerPoint slides, and more.

Everything you need to deliver amazing training
Each courseware title is a trainers' kit that comes with the following course components:
Instructor Guide
Velsoft Instructor Guides are the core of each training course. Our Instructor Guides lay out the training in simple, easy-to-follow instructions. You can also customize the Instructor Guides in order to personalize your training.
Student Manual
Each Instructor Guide - for each course - is paired with a Student Manual that you can present to your participants. This customizable Student Manual gives each participant the ?student? version of the course you will be teaching.
Exercise Workbook
Velsoft offers an Exercise Workbook (also customizable) that is specific to the course you are offering. You can choose whether this is something you would like to present to your students.
Sample Files
Pre-made Sample Exercise Files are provided for use with the Lab Workbook so that you, as the trainer, do not have to prepare activity working files.
PowerPoint Deck
Courseware from Velsoft is designed to give you everything you need for use in the classroom or for your workshop. This includes the PowerPoint versions of all the courses, prepared for you in advance.
Quick Reference Guide
Quick Reference Guides are a favorite tool for trainers to provide to their learners. Each Quick Reference Guide summarizes the most important elements in each courseware title down to two pages.
