De Anza College's offers a Certificate of Achievement called Project Management Practitioner which provides "hands-on" experience for individuals who want to take on responsibilities of a project manager.
At De Anza we feel that the role of a Project Manager is not merely to initiate, plan and execute projects but to be the heart and soul of aligning strategic initiatives with tactical actions to ensure that companies and group can grow as a result of successful project execution.
De Anza's CIS department is a community college with a distinctive mix of programs in engineering, computer information systems, programming and computer science. In 2005, the CIS department taught its first course in project management to help local corporations and government institutions in helping develop the skills of their employees in project management. To date over 700 students have taken our courses with enrollment in the program growing every year.
