The CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) in Case Management is offered by various Universities. However, these are not exactly the same continuing education, further training courses, but different courses with the same title. Each CAS consists of several modules and, in combination with other CASs, leads to an MAS, for example in Care Management, Social Work and Law, Work Integration, Occupational Health Management or Social Informatics, depending on the UAS. However, the number of modules that must be attended to obtain the CAS degree and the exact number of modules varies depending on the Universities, for example, you may attend three modules at the Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences Switzerland, but eight at the UAS St. Gallen, the University of Applied Sciences. Therefore, please contact the individual Universities directly to find out about the module content and focus of this continuing education, further training.

Each Universities offers different continuing education courses in IT project management / IT project management, so the content can also be different. "Methods of project management", "Management of IT projects", "Project leadership and communication", "Advanced project management" are, for example, the modules of one of these courses, "Communication in projects and presentation techniques", "Starting a project and the project manager's framework", "Common language in interdisciplinary projects", "Project structuring, planning and controlling", "Team aspects and conflict resolution in projects", "Dealing with changes and stakeholders", "Project completion and handover", "Requirements management in IT and software development", "Software quality", "Software development (agile process models such as SCRUM)", "Change management and controlling in software projects" and "Intellectual property, legal issues, software as a service (ITIL)".

As a CAS, a Certificate of Advanced Studies, is a further education course at Universities, it is not suitable as an introduction to facility management. Such courses are aimed at people who are already working in this industry and want to continue their education. A Bachelor's degree would be recommended in such a case. If you do not have a university entrance qualification, you may be able to qualify for a managerial position by training at a College of Higher Education, for example as a facility management manager CHE. If you have a basic education (apprenticeship) in housekeeping, continuing education, further training for the Federal Professional Examination, for example as a maintenance specialist (FPE) with a federal certificate, is also conceivable in order to gain a foothold in facility management.

As CAS courses are not federally regulated, practically all universities of applied sciences or universities with a logistics/management department offer courses in supply chain management - some of them simply have a different name. Just have a look at our providers or those of other education providers.
