Project management training with Microsoft Project in Geneva and Lausanne. 3 days to drive your projects with MS Project at ITTA Switzerland.
Microsoft Project Desktop training: plan projects, manage resources and track your professional project portfolio.
Microsoft Project is the most widely used project planning tool in enterprises. It offers a complete suite for task planning, resource management, critical path analysis, progress tracking, variance analysis and report production. Microsoft Project exists in several versions: Project Standard and Project Professional (Desktop), Project Online (cloud with EPM, Enterprise Project Management), Project Server (on-premises for large organisations) and Project for the Web (modern interface integrated with Microsoft 365 and Power Platform). This range covers the needs of the individual project manager up to project directorates and multi-portfolio PMOs.
In French-speaking Switzerland, Geneva private banks, Lake Geneva international organisations, telecom operators, university hospitals, cantonal administrations, pharmaceutical industries, engineering firms and design offices adopt Microsoft Project to plan complex projects: IT deployments, construction projects, multi-year programmes, transformation projects, product launches. For mature organisations managing a project portfolio, Project Online or Project Server brings the multi-project dimension, resource sharing and consolidation of PMO indicators. ITTA offers the Microsoft Project catalogue covering individual uses and advanced planning uses.
Following a recognised Microsoft Project training opens access to highly demanded roles: project manager, PMO (Project Management Officer), planner, scheduler, project management consultant, programme manager, project director. Microsoft Project naturally complements methodological certifications such as PMP, Prince2 or Agile, bringing the indispensable tool and operational planning dimension.
Whether you are a beginner project manager wishing to master Project Desktop, an experienced planner who wants to deepen critical path analysis, or a PMO managing a portfolio via Project Online or Project for the Web, our Microsoft Project training in Geneva and Lausanne covers the full path.
Microsoft Project is the natural entry into Microsoft Project for project managers and planners. The programme covers project creation, WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) structuring, task definition, dependency link planning (finish-start, finish-finish, start-start), resource assignment and over-allocation resolution, planning by duration and by effort, Gantt and PERT charts, progress tracking, baseline comparison, and native report production. Targets project managers and planners taking on Project Desktop.
Microsoft Project Desktop Advanced Project Planning deepens advanced Project uses. The programme covers critical path and free slack analysis, planning constraints, multi-resource custom calendars, multi-project planning and resource sharing via the pool, scenarios and variants, custom fields and formulas, advanced tables and filters, Excel visual reports, and export to PowerPoint and SharePoint. Targets senior planners and PMOs who want to industrialise their use of Project.
Microsoft Project fits into a broader project management ecosystem. The project management domain regroups reference methodological certifications: PMP (PMI), Prince2 (Axelos), CAPM, and Agile and Scrum approaches. The Microsoft 365 publisher covers collaborative tools (Teams, SharePoint, Planner) that complement Project for the Web for team coordination. The Microsoft Planner publisher is the light team task management tool, complementary to Project for small-scale projects. The project management sub-domain on the collaborative tools side addresses the combined use of Project, Teams and SharePoint for project spaces.
Microsoft Project continues to evolve in 2026 toward cloud convergence. Project for the Web progressively becomes the default modern interface for new projects, integrated with Microsoft 365 and Power Platform. Planning is more visual, more collaborative, and more accessible to non-specialists than Project Desktop, while remaining less functionally rich for complex planning. Project Online remains used for existing EPM deployments and portfolio consolidation. Project Desktop (Project Standard and Pro) remains a widely used tool for advanced planning, and remains deeply rooted in engineering and design office practices. The rise of Copilot in Project brings planning assistance, task generation from textual descriptions, and automatic variance analysis. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates these evolutions to remain aligned with current practices.
All our Microsoft Project courses are available on-site in our Geneva and Lausanne centres, as well as in interactive virtual classroom with a certified project management consultant live. Our sessions are organised in 5-week cycles. Each session includes hands-on exercises on dedicated Project Desktop, fictitious projects to plan end-to-end, critical path analyses, and concrete cases inspired by real projects (IT deployment, construction project, transformation programme). Customised corporate training is also possible at your premises, in Geneva, Lausanne, Vaud and across French-speaking Switzerland, with a programme adapted to your methodology (PMP, Prince2, Agile, hybrid), your Project version (Standard, Pro, Online, Server, Project for the Web) and your project context.
ITTA offers a training catalogue. Our Project trainers are project management consultants certified (PMP, Prince2 Practitioner, Microsoft Project) active with Swiss and international clients, covering individual planning, multi-project, resource sharing, Project Online and Project for the Web integration, and PMO support. The Microsoft Project catalogue regroups Microsoft Project (base) and Microsoft Project Desktop Advanced Project Planning training. Our pedagogical team supports you in choosing the right path, identifying methodological prerequisites (PMP, Prince2, Agile) and identifying funding solutions adapted to your professional situation.
Our pedagogical approach favours learning by doing, with projects to plan from the first hours, concrete cases of critical path, resource management and progress tracking, and industrialisation exercises (filters, visual reports, baseline). Each session combines training time, applied exercises and exchanges with the trainer, allowing each participant to progress at their own pace and leave with skills directly usable in their professional context.
Our training is aimed at varied audiences: beginner or experienced project managers, PMOs, planners, schedulers, project management consultants, design office engineers, programme managers, project directors. Our pedagogical team adapts the content to the participants’ context.
Here is a selection of reference training courses in this catalogue, accessible directly:
Which Microsoft Project course to choose to start?
For project managers taking on Project Desktop, the Microsoft Project course is the natural entry (project creation, tasks, resources, Gantt, tracking). For planners and PMOs who want to deepen the critical path, multi-project and industrialisation, Microsoft Project Desktop Advanced Project Planning is the target. Our pedagogical team guides you based on your level and objectives.
What is the difference between Project Standard, Project Pro and Project Online?
Project Standard is the basic Desktop version without server connection. Project Pro adds the connection to Project Online or Project Server (multi-project, shared resources, EPM). Project Online is the Microsoft 365 cloud offering for PMO and portfolio consolidation. Project Server is the on-premises equivalent. Project for the Web is the modern interface for new projects, integrated with Microsoft 365 and Power Platform. Our training mainly covers the Desktop versions, and addresses other versions according to your context.
Does Microsoft Project replace a methodology like PMP or Prince2?
No, Microsoft Project is a planning and tracking tool, complementary to a project management methodology. PMP (PMI), Prince2 (Axelos) or Agile approaches provide the methodological framework. Microsoft Project is the tool that materialises planning and operational tracking. Many project managers combine a methodological certification and a Project skill to be fully operational.
Are your Microsoft Project courses available for companies?
Yes, the entire Microsoft Project catalogue is available in-house, in Geneva, Lausanne and in virtual classroom, with a programme adapted to your methodology (PMP, Prince2, Agile, hybrid), your Project version (Standard, Pro, Online, Project for the Web) and your project context. Our team builds the specifications with you and organises sessions according to your calendar.
