Program Overview
In response to demand from our PPM certificate
graduates, UCSC Extension Silicon Valley is now offering
a certificate in Advanced Applied Project Management
(AAPM). Any project management certificate holder from
a University of California Extension is eligible for this
program. An accelerated track is available exclusively
to PPM students at UCSC Extension Silicon Valley.
Beyond project managers who have mastered
the fundamentals, Silicon Valley companies also need
senior leaders with breadth, vision and strategic acumen
to drive results across multiple initiatives as well as
divisional, geographic, and cultural lines. This higher level
of responsibility requires not only ability as a project
manager but also deeper command and application
of the latest management science, decision support
systems, and competitive scheduling methods.
Based on decades of experience educating the
region’s most skilled professional project managers,
our new AAPM certificate is designed to deliver precisely
these skills. The program covers clear-cut advanced
applied techniques grounded in research-based theory
and real-world cases, including the use of analytical
hierarchy processes to drive decision making, strategic
thinking and problem solving, and competitive project
scheduling.
