Comments from trainees:
“We found the course to be most helpful to our business and Mr. Kosowitz a professional and dedicated instructor. Of particular mention were his detailed planning and the individual attention given to students.”
TZMI“Training in MS Project has been useful as I can apply it to my work as soon as I leave the training room. I have previously used MS Excel for managing projects but MS Project has many more uses and ways to better manage a project – big or small. The training by Fast Track Computer Solutions teaches the essentials for MS Project but matches it to individual work needs”
Kirilee, Department of Environment and Conservation“I have undertaken the Microsoft Project course offered by Ivor of Fast Track Computer Solutions. Ivor offered a training timetable that was well suited to my requirements. As the working managing director of a small business, I could never find the right time to take the full day off to do a computer course. The 2 hour sessions suited me as I found I could concentrate fully for 2 hours then go back to work and put into practice what I had learnt, anything I had not grasped or had forgotten was picked up on at the next session.
I have found this course well worth while and would recommend it to anyone, no matter what your level of expertise.”
Cliff, Chambers Welding & Fabrication
“I would like to thank you for the invaluable Microsoft Project training that you provided before Xmas.
By staging the training over a 4 day period it enabled the information to be properly absorbed, which is a refreshing change to the majority of trainings that inundate you with information that ultimately proves to be overwhelming. The relaxed atmosphere was conducive to questions and ensured a thorough understanding of benefits and pitfalls of the software itself, as well as how it is to be best applied in a project environment.“Thank you for your assistance in improving my understanding of Microsoft Project”.
Clint, Project Controls, Turner & Townsend
“I found the 1 on 1 training to be more beneficial to me than a class room atmosphere as you are able to absorb more than you normally would, and that the training is spread over a number of days.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about learning Microsoft Project the correct way”.

Training is provided by Ivor Kosowitz. He is a Registered Builder, Member of the Australian Institute of Building, Planning & Cost Control Engineer, and an Accredited Trainer with over 35 years international and WA experience in the Construction Industry.
Projects have included Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Mining and Infrastructure.
Fast Track is the leading independent Microsoft Project Trainer in Perth, WA, and have helped project managers in setting up unique projects. One-on-One or Small Group training is provided. Training is provided at our relaxed, quiet, informal training room, or at your office if required, at times suitable to you or your staff. Tuition is available at all levels, suited to the requirements of your staff.
Our preferred and proven method of training, is to train in 2 or 3 hour units on different days. This allows the trainees to do “homework”, and when the next unit resumes, we are able to address any issues arising from the previous unit. In addition, we have found that a unit of more than 2 or 3 hours in any one day, is not productive as one’s attention span reduces dramatically as the day wears on.
Microsoft Project can interface withExcel, Word, Access, Outlook, PowerPointand other external databases or ASCII files.
The team at Fast Track can set up and monitor your project for you if you do not have the time to do it yourself. We have recently provided such services on a major new gold Mine Project, as well as providing similar services on the Perth Metro Rail Station Project. Recent projects included Federal Government Schools Upgrade, and a new Gold & Silver Mine Project in Queensland.
