Microsoft Project for Construction ( 4 Part series)

Please join ESCTT for a practical, hands‑on course on using Microsoft Project.

Every project manager deals with scope creep, schedule pressure, and the need to control costs. Microsoft Project is one of the most effective tools for managing schedules, tracking deadlines, and reducing cost overruns. It also serves as a clear communication tool, giving project managers a roadmap for executing their projects.

This instructor‑led webinar is designed for busy project managers who juggle many tasks while staying on budget, meeting deadlines, and keeping stakeholders informed. The webinar is delivered in four 3‑hour sessions and provides a solid, practical understanding of how Microsoft Project can be used in real‑world project management.
