If there are, I am wondering if you could (or anyone for that matter) recommend a good training software set that could do a few things...

First, give me a good in depth working knowledge of MS Project?

Second, give me a more concentrated training base for becoming a Project Manager.

Mostly I am looking to increase me skill-set and do it in the most efficient manner. I have done planning for many different IT projects, planned extensive (over 400 members) conferences and organized the soup to nuts technical aspects of such a conference. I am currently an IT guy with networking skills, I act as the trainer for my law-firm here in Atlanta, I diagnose all of the Blackberry issues, I do most of the Lotus Notes problem resolving and frequently juggle multiple tasks that involve the sensitive needs of attorneys and their respective clients.

As you can probably deduce, I am looking to change my career position. I love my job, but it is time for me to stretch out and make use of my "considerable set of people skills and technical planning abilities". That's the quote from my boss, our office manager and HR rep. There really is no place else for me to go up here at my Firm, so I am looking to move / go up / increase my responsibilities and obviously increase my salary. I believe some more formal training on Project Manager classes or software would only increase my attractiveness to a potential employer.

So, thoughts? Types of jobs I should shoot for? Softwares or classes I could take and anyone know of jobs here in Atlanta for what I am describing above? And yes, I have had managerial experience in the past...

Thanks folks...
