Tips and decision-making aids for choosing the right Hermes course

A HERMES course teaches a method developed by the Swiss Federal Administration for project management in the areas of service development, product development, IT and business organization. The method is already being successfully implemented in many companies, educational institutions, cities and cantons. Thanks to its simple, clear and modular structure, which can be expanded, this project tool is a helpful simplification of project management through the targeted management, control and implementation of projects of various types and complexity.

Every organization carries out a wide variety of projects, which are very different both in terms of content and complexity. In order to do justice to this diversity, HERMES is based on different scenarios. Each of these scenarios is aimed at the implementation of a specific type of project and contains exactly the right elements of methods that are tailored to and important for precisely this project. This project management method can therefore be implemented quickly and easily.

The following sub-areas characterize HERMES and are taught in the HERMES course:

  • Scenarios
    Project managers who have obtained a HERMES certificate decide on a standard scenario suitable for the project, which they can adapt and expand as required and individually according to existing needs, and then plan the entire project based on this scenario. Customized and subjective scenarios can be submitted to the eCH association and, after appropriate validation, can also be made officially available to other HERMES users.
  • Phases and milestones
    The phase model is the foundation of a project and provides project managers and all other stakeholders with orientation and unity regarding the project process among all parties involved in the project, even beyond the organization. The initialization phase begins with the project initiation order. The conceptualization phase begins with the project release. With the respective phase releases, the realization and implementation phases begin with the associated milestones of the various acceptance stages, which end with the project completion milestone. All milestones and phases are explained in detail in a HERMES course.
  • Modules
    Each module can be viewed as a building block and used multiple times in a scenario. Tasks, results and roles are distributed and assigned to individual phases and milestones.
  • Rollers
    Roles of the parent organization as well as roles of the project organization and their relationships are defined. Corresponding descriptions of the roles in terms of responsibility, competencies and necessary skills are clearly defined. All roles in the area of project organization are hierarchically divided into the levels of control, management or execution. Numerous different defined roles can be used individually.
  • Tasks
    There are task descriptions that define the clear processes for achieving a result. Each task is assigned to a specific role, which is responsible for its development. The interrelated tasks have a modular design and are assigned to the project phases.
  • Results
    In a HERMES course, project managers learn to clearly describe and define results - including minimum results. Each deliverable is assigned the corresponding roles, which in turn clarify participation in the creation of the deliverable. Thematically related results are designed in modules and assigned to phases and tasks.
  • Instructions for use
    Specific aspects of HERMES are explained in the notes on application and form the basis for a sound understanding of the method. They also explain how HERMES should be used in different circumstances or how scope for interpretation can be reduced.

A HERMES course can be attended without formal prerequisites and is aimed at decision-makers, clients, project managers and employees as well as managers in IT. The course concludes with the HERMES certificate "HERMES 5.1 Foundation Certificate".

Questions and answers

The HERMES certification exam can be taken in two ways after the course:

  1. Online
    When you register for the course, you will receive a link from TüV Süd to register for the examination. You can set the date yourself. The TüV will set appropriate time slots in the week following the course
  2. Onsite
    The paper-based exams can be taken at various locations on specific dates.

Immediately after completing the exam, you can see in the system whether the exam has been passed or not. The final decision on the awarding of the certificate is only made after the review. The certificate is then sent by e-mail.

The Foundation Level exam lasts 60 minutes, with 40 multiple-choice questions to be answered.

At Advanced Level, the exam lasts 2 x 60 minutes. In the 1st part, 30 theoretical multiple-choice questions are completed, in the 2nd part 15 multiple-choice questions on a practical situation.

HERMES courses usually last two days for the Foundation Level and three days for the Advanced Level. This time is required for exam preparation. Ask the course providers about the duration of the courses on offer.

In principle, there are no prerequisites for completing a HERMES course. The HERMES course is particularly suitable for the following groups of people:

  • Project managers
  • Project staff
  • Project controllers
  • Clients, primarily in the areas of
    • Product development
    • Service development
    • Computer science
    • Company organization
  • Decision maker
  • IT managers
  • IT consultants
  • IT employees

The course costs vary slightly depending on the course provider. As a rule, a HERMES course leading to the "HERMES 5.1 Foundation" certificate costs between CHF 1,900 and CHF 2,400. It is important to note whether the examination fee for the HERMES certificate is already included. Otherwise this costs an additional CHF 450.

Other HERMES courses, such as the advanced certification ("HERMES 5.1 Advanced Certificate") cost considerably more. Here, the course costs vary between CHF 1,660 and CHF 3,400. Here too, it is important to note whether the examination fee for the HERMES certificate is included. This amounts to CHF 950.

There are also major price differences depending on the type of course. Online courses are often cheaper than face-to-face courses. Find out about your options directly from the course providers.
