I attended the webinar sessions on "Microsoft Project Basics for Clinical Project Managers" organized in March and April, I must say I really enjoyed it. These webinars gave us very clear overview of the MS Project facilities adapted to Clinical Trial world. The homework between each sessions and the interactivity during webinars resulted in very concrete application of the programme.
The trainer support during and between sessions, the virtual campus used as repository of recording and materials was really appreciated and useful. I truly learned a lot!
