Navigating MS Project becomes easier for beginner. Introductory but very much practicable. Not hi-fi slides, terminology straight through the requirement.

The course instructor had outdated software, and has no refund. Buyer beware Coursera is a scam.

Solid introduction to Microsoft Project, but be advised - this training is based on the 365 web version of project, which works differently than the desktop version. This is good at outlining key elements you should include, but the functionality between the web and desktop versions are not 1:1, so you will need to figure out workarounds on your own.

Podría mejorar. Es básico, el contenido es corto, el ejemplo no es lo mejor para lo que yo quería y la estructura no es dinámica.
