Manager des SI : un nouveau programme avec trois certificats
Published on
16 October 2020

The new executive program for Information and Digital Systems Managers is shorter and more flexible in order to meet the needs of working professionals. As of January 2021, Grenoble Ecole de Management will deliver the program in the form of three certificates delivered over the course of a year.

The program is aimed at French-speaking professionals seeking a continuing education program equivalent to the BAC+5 (Master's level in France). How does the program stand out? By bringing together a variety of profiles from various sectors, jobs, cultures and professional backgrounds, the program ties everything back to information systems. Classes are delivered at the Grenoble Campus with the use of innovative tools such as the experimental LABS.

"As of January 2021, the new program will last 12 months (instead of 15) with three certificates that can receive public funding (as well as funding by companies and other organizations) and be earned during a worker's time off," explains Cécile Séon. The program covers the 9 skill sets set out in the official French registry for professionals skills in Information Systems. It is open to continuing education students with a minimum of 4 years' experience.

A customizable program

"The three certificates can be earned individually or over the course of three years in order to earn the final title of Information and Digital Systems Manager. Each certificate includes practical applications to be carried out at one's company," adds Cécile. "Thanks to the modulable format, students can develop a favorable professional network with a variety of participants." 80% of teachers are also experienced professionals with careers at major corporations, SMEs, startups and mid-caps. 20% of teachers are GEM staff.
