Project managers, people with a degree in computer science, business informatics, business administration or comparable qualifications.

With knowledge of PRINCE2®, you will be able to work as a project manager and project team member. In the IT sector in particular, your career prospects will increase, for example in IT management or as a project manager. PRINCE2® is used worldwide (e.g. by the British government) and enjoys a high international reputation.

With the original "PRINCE2® Foundation Level" certificate, you can provide meaningful proof of your newly acquired knowledge.

With Scrum, you will also learn a project and product management process model that was originally used for agile software development in particular, but is now also used in many other specialist areas. As a scalable project management and development method, it is used successfully in numerous large-scale projects with several hundred team members. The official certificate from Scrum.org provides you with internationally recognized proof of your qualifications as a Scrum Master.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
