The above outlines the range of topics covered in this course. Courses can be tailored to suit client needs and the instructor will adapt the course and range of topics covered to ensure trainees receive the maximum benefit possible from their training day.

This course can also include specalist topics such as Cybersecurity - an area of growing importance, see this blog from a specialist security company
Topics covered will vary slightly depending upon the version you are using, e.g. 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 or 365.
Project 2016 has all the functionality and features
you're used to, with some added enhancements and new
features.
Here are some of the top new features
you'll find in Project 2016:
With Project 2016, not only can you leverage multiple timelines to illustrate different phases or categories of work, but you can also set the start and end dates for each timeline separately, to paint a clearer overall picture of the work involved.
Some resources have limited availability, and may
have their time scheduled by a resource manager. With
Project Professional 2016 and Project Online, project
managers and resource managers can negotiate an
agreement, called a resource engagement, to make sure
that resources are being used appropriately and
effectively throughout your organization.
Important: Resource engagements only work if you're
using Project Professional 2016 or Project Pro for
Office 365, connected to Project Online. If you are not
connected to Project Online, the resource engagements
functionality will be hidden from view. Project Standard
2016 does not include resource engagements.
How
does it work? When a resource manager sets up the
enterprise resource pool in Project Online, he or she
can identify some resources as requiring approval to be
assigned to projects.
When a project manager
decides to use one of these resources on a project, he
or she submits an engagement request with the date range
for when the resource is needed, and either a certain
percentage of that resource's time during that date
range, or a set number of hours during that date range.
Once the engagement is finalized, the project
manager has the go-ahead to assign that resource to
tasks in the project.
You'll notice a text box on the ribbon in Project 2016 that says Tell me what you want to do. This is a text field where you can enter words and phrases related to what you want to do next and quickly get to features you want to use or actions you want to perform. You can also choose to get help related to what you're looking for.
There are now three Office themes that you can apply to Project 2016: Colorful, Dark Gray, and White. To access these themes, go to File > Options > General, and then click the drop down menu next to Office Theme.
