I completed the Microsoft Project Introduction course and found the content to be very well pitched in order to improve the basic level of knowledge I already had. The tutor demonstrated that he knew the subject to a very high level and delivered it extremely well. The knowledge I gained from the instruction and practical exercises has certainly helped me in the working use of MS Project.

I came to Infero Training as a referral from DWP, so I didn’t actually get a choice in the matter. However, I'm glad it turned out this way because Infero proved to be very friendly and professional in their approach to training. Initially I was looking to do the intermediate course, however their staff recommended doing the introductory course first and then the intermediate one, as that better suited my requirements. Taking both parts of the Microsoft Project training helped me get from a complete novice to a regular and now proficient user in a very short time. The tutors were knowledgeable and methodical, and all questions were answered. A friendly approach helped too. I would happily recommend Infero to anyone.

Prior to attending the training course my use and knowledge of 'Project' was relatively superficial. The course, whilst delivered in a friendly and relaxed style, opened my eyes to how powerful a tool 'Project' is.

Had a really productive and involving training session on Microsoft Project at Infero training. Course was exactly suited to my needs and delivered by Richard who was fantastic, he even took us down the pub for lunch (soft drinks only were consumed) which is a great touch and makes the day more personal and involving. Highly recommended!

Suada presented and adjusted the pace of the course perfectly to match our level of experience. After the course I felt confident in applying everything we had been taught. I would have no hesitation in using Infero for further training courses.

Since the purchase and implementation of Microsoft Project, manufacture in our workshop is run in a far more controlled manner, leading to increased productivity, lower levels of overtime and fewer late deliveries. Microsoft Project has helped us to stop over estimating our capacity to pull in quick turnaround jobs, which tend to have knock on effects that can take weeks to recover from. The training that we received was excellent, and enabled us to hit the ground running. The Infero instructor was from a Project Management background and helped with problems specific to our manufacturing methodology and peculiar workflows.

The MS Project training that Infero delivered has proved incredibly effective. The whole department now has a better understanding of Project; both in the production of clear, concise and realistic project plans but also in each team members’ ability to read the plans and understand the part that each individual plays in delivering the end result. Target dates are now more frequently achieved as tasks are more easily prioritised and the collaborative feel within the team is better than ever. I’d gladly recommend Infero as a training provider and with a money back guarantee, there’s simply nothing to lose.

Infero Training were based at a convenient location for us and was good value for money. This was a very useful introduction to MS Project and has given me the confidence to make a start using this on new build housing projects at Nottingham City Homes. Richard made the training enjoyable and adapted the content to make relevant to my job role. I would personally recommend Richard and Infero Training.

The lecture was very good and understood Project very well, and was able to answer most of our questions and quires.  The handout document was very helpful and formed a good source of reference while using Project at work.  Unfortunately the course was so good that it did highlight the limitations of Project for use in my industry but I can now work around these and still get the results I need.

Prior to the course my knowledge of project was limited. The course delivered by Samer was excellent, he had the time and patience to explain things to detail. This course has opened my eyes as to how much this will be a useful tool for our business.
