My Microsoft Project 2021 is not exactly the same as the tutor's version, but she explains things clearly enough to follow while I scramble around trying to find the correct options she's referring to.

By Brian Meadows on 4/15/2026

Certainly a good match, learn so much and able to take the lessons further in my career in project management. The presentations and teaching was crystal clear and the host - Deborah Ashby did a amazing job in teaching this MS project course.

By Philip Barnaby on 12/25/2025

This is an absolutely brilliant course. This is not the first course I’ve taken with Deb ashbey absolutely outstanding. I’ve learnt so much lots of things that are continue to use throughout my care.

By Savannah Lueckeman on 8/21/2025

The mentor's voice is crisp and clear, easy to understand, but could be slower paced and include more straightforwardness, with the more intricate details following after. Avoid unnecessary commentary, such as explaining the UK's way of bank holidays, as it is distracting. Example: Basics on how to operate calendars first (how to add and delete dates and times, what the legend represents), followed by how to operate advanced calendar settings (how to navigate details/options, how to add and delete calendars).

I am following ,however I need to be able to download the videos so that I can always refer afterwards. Assist me on how to download these videos please

Best course I have had so far on Udemy. Well structured and taking students slow from basics to more advanced lessons. Exercises are very important as they contribute to assessing and consolidating the knowledge acquired during the lessons taught. Well done Simon

Great Course! The trainer is very knowledgeable and explains and demonstrates concepts in a manner that is easy to understand and learn.

By Anthony Brinias on 5/3/2024

Love the detail. Every section has something of note. Was considering skipping the "open, save and close a file" section, but decided to watch it and actually learned something! Also, really nice voice on the presenter

By First Name Last Name on 3/21/2024

Excellent course. Very valuable. Clear concepts and clear details. The first section of the course a comprehensive presentation of basic concepts. The 2nd section is advanced and very useful.

By Gianluca Pettinella on 10/18/2023

Corso decisamente fantastico, sfiora la perfezione e tocca molto bene molti temi. E' il secondo corso che seguo dopo quello di Project for the web e sono molto soddisfatto del docente, preparata e brava nell'esposizione. Voto complessivo 10/10. GP
