IT & AI Project Manager
Lead IT and AI projects the way employers now expect: a solid method, business sense, and AI in your daily work.
About 4 to 5 months, two courses at a time. 6 courses, 36 live one-on-one sessions, 54 hours with your trainers.
The job
A project manager turns a goal into a delivered result: they frame the project, plan it, secure the budget, keep sponsors and teams aligned, manage risks and changes, and report honestly until the result is in users' hands. In IT and AI projects, they also decide where AI helps the team, and steer projects that deliver AI tools themselves.
Why now
Project management is still one of the largest professional job markets, but it is changing. Generic project manager offers are falling in France, while employers ask for project managers who also understand the business and work with AI. This path is built for that shift.
Up to 30 million new project professionals will be needed worldwide by 2035, according to the Project Management Institute.

Questions
How long does the path take?
About 4 to 5 months, taking two courses at a time. You can also go one course at a time, which takes longer.
Do I have to take all six courses?
The path is one package. If you already master one of its subjects, tell us during the intro call and we will look at it together.
Can I take a break?
Yes, between two courses. Inside a course, the usual session rules apply.
In which language?
English or French, chosen at the start for the whole path: sessions, documents and certificates.
Will this get me a job?
Nobody can honestly promise that. The path builds the skills employers ask for today, and leaves you with a portfolio you can show.
