Has anyone taken a Microsoft Project Course that they have found to be beneficial? I prefer not online. Virtual classroom is okay, just dont want self study. Thanks! Saving Changes...
I prefer face to face training! easier for questions.
I found that good trainers will give you trick or suggestion to avoid limit in a software. Saving Changes...

Jessica,
I have taken several MS Project classes through New Horizons Computer Learning Center. This included a two part introductory course which was a physical classroom delivery. The other course was a three day virtual class put on by Microsoft for New Horizons which I absolutely got a lot out of. They helped fill in a lot of the functional gaps that I had with that program.
I already did some checking for you, and you do have a New Horizons in Omaha. Here is there website address: http://www.omahanh.com/
I also got a lot out of the book, "Microsoft Project 2010 Inside Out" by Teresa Stover. It has been a great reference for some of the larger projects I have had. I don't know if they updated this book for newer versions of MS Project but I found this book on Amazon relatively cheap.

Mark - Thank you for the suggestion! This is exactly what I needed. I did find New Horizon in a google search but wanted to hear from someone who took the course to see if it was beneficial. I appreciate your feedback. Do you suggest one course over the other? (Intro vs 3 day course?) Thanks again! Saving Changes...

As further validation, I have taken a number of courses with them from MS Office Suite classes (Excel, Word, Power Point, etc.) to some recently offered Business Analysis courses. I also took my 35 hr PMP prep class with them which was awesome.
I can honestly say that I have never had a bad experience. Saving Changes...

I do also prefer f2f training, but in this occasion I have used the book "Project 2013 for Dummies" along with several YouTube tutorials. Saving Changes...
I also prefer face to face training as it gives you an opportunity to interact with trainer. Online training is not bad provided the material is structured in an easy to follow format Saving Changes...
