Recently I was asked to summarize all the available training for Microsoft Project 2003.

MICROSOFT eLEARNING:
There’s a couple courses that we have that you can get from Microsoft eLearning web site on Project 2003.

• Course 4111: Core Training for Microsoft Office Project 2003 Plus Access to Online Book
  "The self-paced e-learning course will help you become familiar with the basic features and tools of Microsoft Office Project 2003 via interactive simulations that provide hands-on practice to master specific tasks. It also includes skills assessment to help pinpoint the areas where training can have the most impact. In addition, this course can be downloaded for offline use for the length of your subscription so you can learn even when you’re not connected to the Internet."
  The course is based on the book I gave you "Microsoft Office Project 2003 Inside Out" and costs $22.49. You have access to the course for 1-year.

• Course 4009: Setting Up Projects for Success Using Microsoft® Office Project 2003
  Summary: This online course focuses on the critical planning stage of a project and how to set up a project for success. Hands-on exercises with Microsoft® Word and Project will demonstrate effective and easy-to-implement techniques to better plan, schedule, and allocate resources. The goal of this course is to enable project managers to increase their productivity, which means they have more time to stay on top of the critical project management tasks that increase the chances of project success.
  The course is based on the book I gave you "Microsoft Office Project 2003 Inside Out" and costs $22.49. You have access to the course for 1-year.

***IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are an Enterprise Agreement customer (if you’re one of mine, you are) you can actually enroll in the Microsoft eLearning courses without paying the $22/enrollment through your Enterprise Agreement – you’ll need to talk to the administrator of this part of the agreement to make this happen.  There’s a TON of free training available to you if your interested.

ON-DEMAND OFFICE SYSTEM WEBCASTS:
If you’re interested in "beginner 100-level" on-demand training and webcasts, the Office System webcasts are the way to learn. There’s about a dozen of these and are easy to understand.

ON-DEMAND TECHNET WEBCASTS:
If you’d like to see a Technet Webcast on Project, we have a LOT of them. Several hundred. These are more advanced in nature in general and can talk about basic planning all the way up to modifying the Project interface and doing code-level work with the tool.

They have 3 online training courses there for Project 2003 although they are pretty specific to some particular areas like scheduling.
