What qualifications can I obtain in product management?
Building on a completed basic education in the commercial or technical field, you can, for example, aim for a federal certificate as a marketing specialist or opt for a certificate course to become a product manager. Such courses are offered by some schools and training providers and are usually part-time. This continuing education, further training can take between seven months and one and a half years and usually ends with a dissertation. Following a successful thesis, you will be awarded a school diploma from the respective training institute.
In addition to Federal Professional Examination and certificate courses, there is also the option of continuing your education as part of a CAS or MAS course in product management. Such a CAS or MAS is a continuing education course at a university and is primarily aimed at people who already have a university degree and practical experience. However, admission "sur dossier" is also possible, where the university management awards admission based on your previous professional experience and your education and continuing, further training. An MAS (Master of Advanced Studies) in Product Management generally takes four semesters, i.e. two years, and ends with a Master's thesis, while a CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) takes one semester.
