Microsoft Project® A La Carte

Developed to assist our clients in their Microsoft Project training options in 2004, our A La Carte training was developed to provide our customers with a more comprehensive and flexible education program.

The A La Carte, 1 day 1 topic format, is topic-centric allowing clients to develop a specialized training curriculum based on the specific needs of their project and business stakeholders. Our customers find this format is beneficial to those who need an opportunity to become experts in a single subject with strict time restraints to reach their educational goal.

A La Carte training isn’t recommended for every course in our catalogue. A detailed A La Carte training outline is available upon request.
