MS Project Exam – Everything You Need To Know About The Microsoft Project Certification

The Microsoft Project Certification has been deprecated since 2019 and they no longer offer the exam; however, it has been reported that Microsoft Project is being used by 92% of companies, as such Project Managers with Microsoft Project expertise or experience remain highly sought after.

Considering Microsoft’s huge reach, it’s no surprise that they’ve been able to create such a large user base for its project management software. Those who might have looked for MS Project Certification should still consider learning about this very useful tool to advance their Project Management Career.

Microsoft Project was designed by Microsoft to support businesses and their project management teams to obtain greater success rates in their projects. It offers systems to plan, schedule, and track the progress of a project.

It’s likely that when applying for a project management role, companies will ask about your Microsoft Project skillset, experience, and knowledge.

The now retired 74-343 Microsoft Project certification exam was taken by project managers who used Microsoft Project and wished to present their expertise in the software to potential clients and employers.

Microsoft Project was not standard in the previous installments of MS Office, however, the latest packages of Office 365 do include it, broadening the reach of this software to even more people and businesses.

Microsoft Project Certification – Why Was It Retired?

After Microsoft retired the MS Project Certification Exam in 2019, many project managers asked what would replace it. They were equally worried about the situation with certifications that depended upon that exam, such as the “Managing Projects and Portfolios with Microsoft PPM (70-348)” certification – which has also now been retired.

Microsoft’s stated reason for the retirement of these MS Project Exams is that they did this in order to “adapt to the rapidly changing project management world and technologies.”

Because of the new approach that Microsoft is taking, there is no replacement MS Project exam certification planned. The dynamic world of Project Management means that more emphasis will now exist on PMP Certification and other Certification Exams that show core competency in Project Management to a high level.

It does seem however that Microsoft is looking to improve MS Project in its entirety by focusing on specialist certifications rather than exams; however, there is no replacement for the Microsoft Project Certification.

How Can I Learn Microsoft Project?

There are many methods to learn Microsoft Project, either on your own or with some assistance. There are many educational courses online that can guide you step by step, and Microsoft has their own help documentation for MS Project.

Learning alone may be more economical, but the time saved by working with a course provider may prove more valuable as you can learn the full aspects of the project management software at a greater speed than if you went about it alone. Choosing the right method to learn MS Project is about how you learn best and is ultimately a personal choice.

On the other hand, if you go to a high-quality educational institution, you can easily find very good content at reasonable prices. Microsoft provides certification for instructors looking to teach Microsoft Project and other tools and skills, so if you do intend to take a course or find an instructor, we strongly suggest going with one that is a certified Microsoft Trainer.

Online vs Class Education for Microsoft Project Certification?

Many looking to learn more about Microsoft Project will want to know, what is better, an in-person classroom education or an online one? Simply put, that all depends on you. Digital is often more affordable and can be organized easier within your schedule, while in-person classrooms provide a much closer connection to the instructor than what can be obtained online.

We’ll go through and discuss the pros and cons of each in the following areas:

  • Communication
  • Adaptability
  • Ease of Access
  • Cost
  • Dedication

Communication:

Undoubtedly, communication is much better with in-person Microsoft Project Classes. Being able to talk with an instructor directly and in-person has many benefits that cannot be replicated digitally. Even when there is a live instructor on a digital course, vital communication issues can arise due to a lack of body language signals and other interpersonal necessities for communication.

As mentioned above, online learning is not limited to video tutorials, there are live courses led by instructors that do allow for direct communication, with video to video online classes providing much of what an in-person classroom can provide also.

Adaptability:

Digital learning provides the greatest method for adaptability, as often you can learn where you want, when you want. You can revisit previously completed components when you need to brush up or you misunderstand something which cannot be done as easily in a live setting. It also allows you to choose what you learn, as you may already be a master over certain aspects of the training, you will not need to be restricted to the needs of other classmates when learning digitally on your own. In this regard, you can also skip to the level you know you are at immediately so you can focus your time on areas that you are unfamiliar with.

By its very nature, classrooms must be more restrictive due to the group aspect of its methodology. However, learning as a group does have many benefits, being able to take part in group discussions is a great way to learn and many people thrive in this environment.

Ease of Access:

As we mentioned above, learning online is unparalleled in its capacity to provide you with the greatest access to your learning materials since you can learn at any time, anyplace, and at your own pace. As long as you have wifi, you can access the training (previous, current, or future) at any time you want.

Digital platforms have evolved to the point that they even offer apps that can be used to support your learning on your phone, so even those with the busiest of schedules can still take time while “on the go” to learn with their mobile device.

On the other hand, in-person classrooms have a set schedule and location, which brings with it the issues traditional learning often faces: Missed classes can’t be repeated, extra travel needs to be accommodated in your schedule and you have no say in when or where it will take place (Beyond initially signing up to the course most in line with your schedule).

Cost:

Generally speaking, self-paced solo learning is the cheapest solution (other than free resources and complete self-learning), while in-person classes and courses are the most expensive method of learning with virtual but live online classes with instructors falling in the middle.

On top of this, the travel costs needed for in-person learning should also be taken into account, along with time that may need to be taken off of work. With Digital (including live virtual instructor-led) courses you do not need to worry about travel costs or time.

Dedication:

A key advantage to in-person classroom training is the dedication and focus that it forces upon its students. With self-paced training a lot of willpower is needed, the seemingly limitless opportunities to learn whenever you want can act as a blockage and feed the urge to procrastinate.

Equally so with online, instructor-led courses, distractions can be a big issue, specific efforts will need to be made to ensure the time you take to learn either self-paced or virtual led is actually productive and in an environment that supports the learning process.

Whereas, in-person training in classrooms, by their very nature, minimizes distractions and creates a very productive environment for learning.

Top Instructors:

One great benefit of online learning is that very high-quality instructors can be found, due to the lower cost for them to create courses or run online classes compared to traditional learning, some of the top instructors in the world can be found and studied under. This is not to say that those specializing in education and undertaking consistent classroom lessons are not experts in their field, just that the high cost of setting these up means that the top instructors must make very expensive fees to make it feasible.

This is not only true for Microsoft Project Exam Training, but for many kinds of training. PMP Exam Prep for example has developed extensively online with many great resources now available.

Ultimately it comes down to your personal learning style and what works best for your schedule and personality. Many people prefer to learn online, while others find the classroom courses extremely valuable.

Is Microsoft Project Certification Exam Learning Still Useful?

As discussed, Microsoft has retired their MS Project Certification exam, but this does not mean that Microsoft Project knowledge is not seen as something extremely valuable by employers.

Since 92% of companies do use this tool for their project management needs, having a good knowledge of this tool is necessary for a Project Manager. Therefore, taking an MS Project Exam course or learning about the Microsoft Project Certification is still valuable to help you learn the core concepts of the tool.

In addition, the courses that involve MS Project Certification do not simply offer videos, but also very effective learning tools such as sample questions and exercises which greatly benefit the learning process.

Microsoft Project Certification Sample Exam Questions

Quizzes and test questions are a great way to evaluate your knowledge. Being able to numerically evaluate your knowledge means you can properly evaluate your knowledge level, and over time be able to see your progress in a subject as you retake exams and can compare past and present results. You can also drill down on specific portions that you may have issues with, these questions are what allow you to identify these problem areas in the first place.

The course is amazing at teaching the basics but the exams don’t match up with the PMBOK vocabulary or really the slide content. So many questions on agile project management but not even an entire section dedicated to it.

- Robbie

---

Very structured curiculum and helped me cover the whole PMP material easily in the shortest time possible. I purchased the monthly access self-paced and studied for 4 weeks only as the main source of study besides some other online full exams from different sources, then passed my PMP exam successfully. Highly recommend Brain Sensei as it's very cost effective solution compared to others, and very useful source of study. Saved me fortune and got my PMP in a very short time.

We reviewed several online PMP training courses and our decision was that Brain Sensei was by far the most well structured, comprehensive, and easy to understand option. With a 100% pass guarantee! Furthermore, their support has been incredibly quick to respond and customer service oriented. Well pleased! Try their Free Trial! Easy, and what do you have to lose?

- Brian Calhoun

---

I found the content of the PMP Preparation course to be very detailed and thorough. I also greatly appreciated its attachment to a theme. I would have finished the course had I not decided to switch careers. The only improvements I can suggest are to update the website and course user interface, as it looks very old. There are also some typos within the course. Thank you!

- Geoff

---

They have a very practical learning modules that explains the basic concept of project management very well and clarifies a lot of project management terms and jargons. I found the three mock tests very helpful. I was able to pass my PMP exam on first try.

- Mohammad

---

BrainSensei has been the best approach to PMP exam training I could ask for. The experience is immersive, customizable, adaptive and really makes learning fun! Reading the story of how the founders came up with an approach to studying for this beast of an exam that wasn't so focused in the minutiae of PMI jargon, I totally get the idea behind the approach. Wish I would've discovered this earlier on in my journey.

- Nash

---

Quick responses and very pleasant customer service folks overall!

- Hannah De La Rosa

The facilitator-led online course with all of the additional resources helped me pass my test in two months.

This course had good reviews online from previous clients so I decided to try this one. Relevant course materials and great timed practice tests allowed me to ace the actual certification exam on my first attempt. I highly recommend this course.

- PL

This is a great tool to support the PMBOK Guide. Quizzes, presentations, and videos help break down the massive amount of information that comes with the PMBOK, truly helping you prepare for the actual exam. Great way to get your 35 hours classroom credit!

- Penney

---

I think the course is good. I wouldn't mind a few more videos and audible in the trainings. I do a lot do reading. I bought the PMBOK book on the side and sometimes have trouble connect the class to the PMBOK book. I do enjoy your format. I am learning. Personally I need buckle down and spend more time on it.

- Anthony

Brain Sensei helped me to prepare for and pass the PMP exam on the first try. I used many exam simulators and this one was by far the most similar to the exam. Im so happy I found Brain Sensei and chose to prepare with them!

- Alex Jane

I am a refugee from Ukraine. I applied to Brain Sensei with a request to provide me with a scholarship so that I could prove my skills and abilities for Europe where I am now due to the invasion of my country. The Brain Sensei team promptly responded to my request and provided the opportunity to study in their PMP course. I am very grateful to the Brain Sensei team and am happy to start learning! Thank you very much!

- Tetiana

Easy to navigate the platform

- Michael

I really enjoyed the Brain Sensei self learning course as well as the virtual course with the instructor. I was able to pass the PMP with above target ratings for every section. I am so pleased with how easy and efficient the courses were to navigate, and how simply the PMI approach was placed into every day situations. I would highly recommend this course to everyone wanting to either freshen up on their Project skills or to master the PMP.

- Thais Greca

Very prepared for the PMP!

Hi Folks, good course there. More info/exercises on EV and formulas would be really helpful. Thank you very much.

- Vasil

---

I passed my test on the first try! Excellent learning tool. There were some questions that I found to be confusing or contradictory with the answers, so I sent those to the Brain Sensei team. They always responded quickly, even on the weekend! Some adjustments are being made because of my feedback. I appreciate their care and that they take the time to support during the studying period.

- Pamla Kendrick

---

Perfect program for me. I did it at my own pace, and passed the exam with flying colors.

- Mary Garnett

---

I'm very satisfied with the Brain Sensei PMP Exam Preparation Course. All 8 Modules are very well structured and detailed. This course is best for those who would like to learn at their own pace. Of course, lots of studying is needed (PMBOOK and other agile-related books and material). The customer service team is exceptional, very supportive. I had an immediate response to whatever I needed.

- PS

This is a great course!!!!

- Darrius Cooley

---

Great training tool! I learned a lot and realized how much training I needed to learn. Now to take my exam!

- Michelle

---

Engaging, self-pacing course that contains accurate content. Prepared me well for the PMP exam which I passed on my first attempt. This course is best for those who would like to learn at their own pace. For example, I completed it over the span of 2 and a half months.

- Matthew

---

The course was thorough and the practice exams enhanced my learning. However, I am having a hard time receiving my PDU credit for taking the course.

The story approach was good but I feel like I wasn't ready for some of the questions on the site.

very good but needs to be more updated

- Mohmed kheir

I loved the PMP prep course and the level of learning from this. I am hoping this learning to be translated in PMP certification as well :) Another thing to mention is the very responsive support and quickest issue resolution. I had an issue with subscription expiry and they resolved it very swiftly. Thanks!

- Kamal

---

phenomenal training opportunity that provides a variety of learning styles for all.

- Anastasia

---

Great way to prepare for the PMP Exam!

- Matthew

---

Excellent test prep for the exam, though some more practice tests on agile would be beneficial

- eric

---

It is often hard to figure out what the right answer was on a quiz or practice exam. Frequently, the correct answer is buried in a lot of text about what options are wrong.

- James

---

The content was spot on and I am much more confident in understanding the processes and how everything works together now. (The) course is great; however, the customer service team is Exceptional! Very responsive and thorough, and at all times; and when I had some technical difficulties (or questions) they stuck with me through resolution. Highly recommended program and company.

Great customer support. Wish more Agile modules were available.

- Heide

The Course documents should remain open for longer than 6 months, given that PMI gives you 365 days to prepare for exam. Also, the option to extend visibility for the course documents, costs almost a 5th of the course, but opens up the docs for just 30 more days. Propose to extend this to 90 days at the very least.

- Vasily

---

I'm very satisfied with the Brain Sensei PMP Exam Preparation Course. All 8 Modules are very well structured and detailed. I believe that practice exams included in the course helped me a lot with the preparation for my PMP Exam. I appreciate Brain Sensei for their amazing course and for the awesome service. They responded to all my requests immediately. Thanks. Highly recommended.

- Helen Borimsky

---

The format of the prep-course is great overall and a great alternative to reading the PMBOK. Barring a few minor glitches here and there, the flow of information ensures that concepts are well understood not only from the point of examination but to the point of application in day to day professional activities. Explanations provided in the answers of prep exams (apart from the 1st one) are also a key to understanding the thought process to be applied. With the focus being on Agile approaches from 2021, the information in the course seemed adequate to cover the concepts. All the Best to all aspirants.

Studied BrainSensei for 11 days and passed. Succinct and highly informational chapters. The 4 practice exams are marginally more difficult then the PMP. Borderline impossible to fail the PMP if you pass this course.

Great course! They break down all concepts in a very clear and interactive way, that doesn't put you to sleep. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to pass the PMP exam with flying colors.

Your course, quizzes at the end of most modules and practice exams truly challenged me. I definitely derived the value and knowledge I was looking for in preparation for taking the PMP Certification Test. In particular, I appreciated the explanations that popped-up in the tests after an answer was submitted - very educational and helpful to my learning/understanding the material and concepts better. Some areas that could be improved (and some of this is nit-picking) include: * Some of the grammar and overall sentence structures, particularly in the latest set of practice exams, needs to be cleaned-up. Some were missing 'of', 'for, or had an extra 'an' in the narrative - got confusing at times. * In the practice exams, I'd like to see shorter sentences rather than the flurry of 'and' and 'or' conjunctions that made reading the sentences go on forever (had to read them multiple times to truly understand their meaning). That said, I enjoyed the overall online course taking experience and thank you for accommodating my requested time extensions. Best regards, Scott Conn

Liked it. Need access for longer though.

- Jerome

What I like best about Brain Sensei is the interactive nature of the course. I think this material would be numbing if delivered as simple lectures with slides. This method is an improvement on that. On the other hand, an in-person course, while more expensive, would likely be even more useful if you have the funds and the time. I haven't taken the PMP exam yet, so I can't comment on how useful the practice tests are.

- James

Great

- Yennyfer

The Brain Sensei PMP program is a wonderful program that condenses the PMBOK into digestible and retainable bites leveraging the power of story telling. If you're looking for a program that will get you your credit hours but also help establish a foundation of PMI knowledge this is the program for you!

- Kenny Dalen

Passed first attempt

- Lee

---

Truly the best course in town if you wish to pass the PMP exam on the first try. I love the idea of playing the role of the samurai and practice your project management skill in her shoes. And not to forget, the generous amount of practice exam gave me just the right dose of confidence before taking the real one. Highly recommended

- Minh Vo

---

The course was great, though I found a lot of parts hard to comprehend. I feel a lot more prepared and better skilled to manage projects in my career. Thanks, Brain Sensei.

- Jill Finkelstein

The BrainSensei PMP preparation course provided me with all the material required to be ready for the exam. It is well structured, explains the concepts clearly, and most importantly, provides ample training questions through the four mock exams and assessment questions at the end of each module. I passed the exam with Above Target in all sections on the first attempt.

- Gael Riethmuller

---

Overall I really liked this learning course. It was very helpful and allowed me to be well prepared for the exam. The 2nd and 3rd practice exam are great to give you real example questions and help prepare you for what to expect. BrainSensei's customer service was the best. I had to delay taking my test due to COVID and they extended my membership for free. They went above and beyond my expectation which was great. Only changes I would recommend is to add 1 or 2 more practice exams like the 2nd and 3rd exam and get rid of the agile practice exam. This is not a real focus of the test and therefore is not really applicable in my opinion.

- Ronnie

---

BrainSensei developed a great learning method to prepare for the PMP certification exam. Their customer service is always very professional, fast, spot on and dedicated to your success. I recommend them.

- G. Buchs

---

I've sent several emails to BrainSensei (one of them not so nice, but the rest were okay) and the team has always been so polite in answering the questions. I'm a very straight-forward person and don't like the PMI-ism type questions because they seem like 'gotchas' or traps, and this is not how I manage my team. I took the Master of Project course (which was garbage) then failed the PMP exam. Throughout the PMP exam I felt so out of touch. Even with the first practice exam on BrainSensei I felt out of place, but I am not getting the hang of things. I hope to pass the exam on the second attempt! The brain sensei experience has been *miles* ahead of the Master of Project garbage. Brain Sensei should be proud of both their product and of their team! I love getting replies to my concerns so quickly. Nice work :) !!!

I have studied with other programs and I didn’t feel prepared. After a short time with Brain Sensei, I had the confidence to succeed on exam day, which I did on the first try after studying with Brain Sensei. It was worth every penny.

Course is made for people who are already grounded in the material, not for someone that needs all the basics. Was budget friendly and OK content.

The prep materials provided plenty of content which prepared me well for the PMP exam. The questions were packed with information.

Teaches the PMP in a solid manner, some things you need to know as a potential consumer: -The Samurai backstory is extremely short, and didn’t really assist me with recall in any in-depth way. It only gave broad brush-strokes as to what each phase entailed. -MOST of what was on the test was covered in the lessons, however if I had zero real prior PM knowledge prior to the test, I would have failed. -The first practice test forces you, as the student to actually read into the PMBOK, which was a benefit in the long run as it assisted me with quickly referencing what I needed to find. -The course will likely cover wave tops and subjects, forcing me to self-study for a week before my test... not a bad deal all things considered. -Brain Sensei’s course has incorporated Agile into one of their practice tests, and this test IS mandatory. This may seem strange, and I didn’t get a satisfactory reason why I needed to take a purely Agile test when I only wanted to take the PMP, for anyone else in this scenario, this is the reason: In June, PMI is revamping the PMP test to include Agile as a significant portion of the PMP. Brain Sensei is just ahead of the curve trying to get students prepared... fret not. Their customer service is extremely responsive and does take care of their members. My program had a couple bugs, and the customer service fixed my problems within 24 hours. All in all... it was absolutely worth the money for me.

I am very impressed with this learning system. The content is laid out in a way that will make any learner understand all the process groups and ITTOs in order to understand Project management and be equipped to excel in the test. The learning system is engaging and fun at the same time. It's very different than other learning material which is composed mostly of videos. Some improvements are needed, but in my opinion Brain Sensei is great value for money

At first, I was attracted to Brain Sensei training for their original learning program using a Samurai's story. And indeed it made the whole learning experience funnier - so easier. I felt like the Samurai. Then, I was amazed by The Brain Sensei Team's reactivity and help when I reached out through contact@brainsensei.com Their support was constantly reliable and efficient. I appreciated their professionalism and didn't feel on my own. At last, the course and the practice exams proved to be efficient since I passed the PMP exam - with 'Above Targe't in all Domains. So thank you so much Brain Sensei Team !! Charlene

SO far I am thoroughly enjoying the Brain Sensei PMP prep course. I have taken a Project management class as a part of my degree which I recently completed and project management has always interested me. I find the course to be educational and easy to follow. I am grateful that this course has been designed in such a way that is simple to understand all of the complexities in project management and that allows me to study at my own pace.

This review is based on completing all course work through module 102. The story and interactive nature of the course are helpful for learning and relating the material. It would be nice to have the page numbers to the PMBOK guide where references are made to it. Other information that will be helpful, are the explanations to the practice questions at the end of each module. These are provided only after immediately answering the questions. Having these available in the score summary from the 'history' tab will be helpful to refresh why the answer is correct and other options are not.

Overall I would rate this course an 8/10. I liked how there were exams towards the end of every module and I felt that it was very useful having it laid out in different scenarios. I rate it only an 8/10 as I had some glitch/software issues and lost my progress resulting in me having to re-do modules/exams multiple times. All in all, that was maybe useful in the end as it was a way for me study or 're-learn' the course material. Thank you!

A smart approach to present the information which makes it fun and engaging while at the same time preparing for the PMP exam. Brain Sensei differentiates itself from other PMP exam preps in that it delivers the knowledge through the use of storytelling technique. I recommend this course because it will help you pass your PMP exam on the first try.

Excellent course for preparing for the PMP exam in a fun and engaging way! The practice questions resemble the actual questions on the exam making it a completely worthwhile experience.

I passed the PMP exam after taking Brain Sensei's Online PMP Certification Exam Prep. The practice exam questions were so similar to the questions that appeared on the exam. On exam day, when I sat down to take the test and started running through the questions I felt so relieved! The practice exams are also timed so you get more comfortable with the exam experience and feel better prepared when you sit down to take the test. The other differentiator was the video content throughout the modules. The concepts are taught through a story of a young samurai defending her kingdom. This will probably be the only PMP prep course where you can learn all the knowledge areas and feudal Japan at the same time. I'd recommend this course not just because of the videos but because it helped me pass my exam on the first try.

Loved the unique approach and it still had all the info I'd expect from a full PMP exam prep course. Very responsive on questions too.
