Why MS Project courses don't work
As a result of speaking with many of Brise's clients, we have come to understand why traditional Microsoft Project group courses are likely to be of little help to most of their participants.
- The trainer has a typical course program in advance, in which it is impossible to take into account the different levels of training of the group members, as well as the differences in the learning goals that they set for themselves. This problem is especially acute when the training is not corporate, and a group of employees from various organizations gathers.
- With a large number of students, the trainer does not have the opportunity to pay enough attention to work issues and the difficulties that arise in the learning process for each of them. It sounds paradoxical, but the more the coach earns by training the group, the worse he will train each of its participants.
- Usually courses run only a few days in a row, during which the teacher tries to “download” a lot of information into the student at once, with very limited practice and the inability to comprehend this information in practice. A stunned student may leave a happy review immediately after the course, but after a while it turns out that he has learned very few skills, or not the ones that he will need in practice.
- In the worst case, in a project management course, the training is not in a computer lab, but in front of a whiteboard and a projector screen, and students do not get any practice in using the Project program.
What is the most effective approach to learning?
Several short seminars instead of one long one. Our seminars last no more than 2 hours. At the same time, the breaks between them should be several working days so that the listener can master the acquired knowledge in practice.
Small groups. In group training, we allow no more than five people in a group, and all of them are from the same organization. This will allow employees to share their experience with each other and help develop common approaches to further work.
No trips to the training center. In the 21st century, with the universal availability of the Internet, spending as much time on a trip to class and back as a seminar itself is an unaffordable luxury.

- They write articles about using Project in project management, which are published, including on our website;
- Answer numerous questions on one of the main Russian-speaking forums on Project;
- Solve complex technical problems, including when interacting with Project developers;
- Develop additional components for MS Project.
According to our estimates, there are no more than 30 experts of such qualification in the entire CIS, but we offer individual consultations of three of them with by the hour at the price of an ordinary dentist.
Cost of education - 2 500 rubles per hour, regardless of the number of participants (from one to 5 people). When compared to the cost of other popular courses, individual training lasting from 3 hours can be more profitable than the whole course.
