HERMES® Foundation Level Certification (2022)

The HERMES 2022 Foundation course provides a practical introduction to the official project management method of the Swiss federal administration. You will learn the structure of the method, how to apply its modules and roles, and how to use standard scenarios effectively.

With real-life project examples and group exercises, you will build a clear understanding of phases, project organization, and decision-making processes. The course focuses on practical use in real projects, not abstract theory.

Its goal is to prepare you thoroughly for the HERMES Foundation exam and to equip you with the knowledge needed to apply HERMES confidently in public sector or IT-related projects.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• confidently apply the structure and principles of the HERMES method

• select and use appropriate standard scenarios

• assign and implement the key roles and modules in a project

• build a project organization according to HERMES

• develop custom scenarios based on real project requirements

• prepare effectively for the Foundation certification exam
