Product School

I graduated from my MBA and landed a great job in the live event/conference industry My industry was hit hard by the pandemic and I was ultimately laid off. I was not sure what I was going to do for work and how was I going to adapt in a post pandemic... Read More environment. I knew I needed to reinvent myself and add value to my resume to achieve a successful pivot. A friend recommended GA and I couldn't be more grateful that they did. This came at a perfect time and although the program incurred a financial component, the rep at GA guided me through the process and helped me choose the course right for me. Once I enrolled in the 10-Week Product Management course, it was off to the races. My instructors were fantastic and the cohort was filled with likeminded professionals that wanted to learn and grow within their various industries. I took so much away from this program and less than 2 months later, I have recently landed a job with globally recognized organization. I owe all of this to the instructor's mentorship and guidance that I received during my program. I recommend this to anyone that is considering furthering their skillset and elevating their professional career potential.

This program is well organized and you learn a lot in the 12 weeks. Sinduja Ramanujam is a great coach and a mentor and I am very glad that I took this course. You wrap up the course by building a new feature or functionality for your favorite product.... Read More This whole process helps you understand the different stages of product management. One area for improvement would be to maybe add an assignment where students can launch their product in a low code MVP.

Product School's PM 8 week certification program is a good base for people interested in product management and a good refresher for people who find themselves in the PM role. My cohort had a good mix of people from different backgrounds that helped me... Read More better understand the coursework and our instructor, Shilpa, truly embodied how a great PM thinks.

The instructor for our session is Shilpa Vir and she is passionate for product management training and career coach. She has many years of extremely skilled experiences for product management in Google and eBay. I highly recommend you choose Shilpa as... Read More instructor if you want to step into product manager career or improve the product management silks. Her real-life experiences and examples give me more detailed guidance for job skill into action.

I took a learning journey with KO team. They didn't stop to support me or my peers. They always help us to get ideal concept, terms and functional of my role with professional internal and external sources. Also, i liked the way that they were motivated... Read More us to continue learning and take the next step in our career.

Shilpa is a fantastic teacher and I wish I had found her a month ago. Not only does she know exactly what the interviewers are looking for and she has a great product knowledge and helped us in understanding all concepts in product management. She also... Read More gave great interview tips

My experience with product school was great. Management is very flexible and tailored the course material to cover all aspects of product management.

Our instructor Shilpa Vir came with a strong background in Product Management with many years of industry... Read More experience. She is very knowledgeable and gave many practical examples from her own expertise. Under her guidance and with the knowledge we gained in the class, we were able to successfully deliver our final project starting from setting the product goal & Business objective to GTM strategy & Market funneling.

Our classes were very interactive, and she encouraged all students to participate in class discussions and share their insights. I would highly recommend Shilpa as instructor to anyone who is interested in taking a course at Product School.

I spoke with a handful of people from different competitor courses and read dozens of reviews before I finally decided on Product School's product management course. Looking back at the decision, I have no regrets. The course was great overall. We were... Read More one of the first cohorts to experience an updated course format where students did the course-long project in groups instead of individually. You could tell Product School is working on making the new experience smoother but it was good deal of learning regardless. I found the group project a little chaotic at the beginning but it was much smoother once my teammates and I figured out what is expected and how we will tackle the project. I also enjoyed learning about tools (wish we had more time to dive deeper). Session notes were helpful for pre- and post-class reviews, as was the Miro layout of sessions. I learned not just from the course material and instructor, but also my classmates, esp. about working together as a product team (an essential skill of a PM!). One of the features I loved most was the ability to ask questions. It helps me connect the topics I knew about or am learning. Consequently, I was looking for an instructor who has solid experience in the field and had a teaching style that I appreciate. I was quite excited to learn from Richa Pareek for those reasons! She patiently answered my million questions and helped me better understand the material. I enjoyed some of the product sense and strategy answers she walked us through during the class. Whenever possible, she provided real-world examples and exposure to other product managers. Her cheerful/enthusiastic classes helped fight my post-office-hours-late-night-class tiredness. All those show that she cares about teaching and individual growth. I'm looking forward to applying the lessons in real life and developing on them. I'm appreciative of this somewhat intense and well-structured intro into the role of a PM!

I found the Product Manager Certificate to be a great way to quickly refresh and expand my Product skills. Currently in a new job, this gave me the chance to directly apply my skills in my day job.
The structure of the course was full: we used all of... Read More the class time for valuable exercises/learning and our break-out team often met outside of class hours. Due to my timezone, I had to coordinate work meetings around the class time, but it was manageable for the 8-week period. Flexibility was possible, when needed.
Finally, my instructor, Toby Martin Hughes, was truly fantastic. His domain expertise and knowledge was impressive and his real-life examples made many concepts really sink in. He was extremely approachable (both during and outside of class hours). Most admirable might have been his ability to manage the class online, balancing student questions, content delivery, differing student experiences, etc. Top notch and I'd highly recommend the course!
(Only 4 stars for Job Support because this didn't really apply to me. )

I come from a non-technical background, aspiring to be a PM. In my experience, the Product Management Certificate course has comprehensively covered the fundamentals about what the PM role is all about, key technical terminologies one should be aware... Read More of and what it means to be navigating the waters on the job. I can vouch for the thoroughness of the material as I see that a lot of its component is in line with innovation courses of top business schools (I am presently pursuing an MBA from a top-ranked school simultaneously).

My instructor was Narayanan Krishnamoorthy (Krishna). Apart from being incredibly knowledgeable, Krishna has very rich hands-on PM experience. For me, what added value most was hearing about his insights based on his personal experiences, the mistakes he made, the lessons he learnt etc. Krishna answered any and every question I would ask. His study material too is fantastic and pretty exhaustive. Highly recommended to budding PMs!!!

Cons: Some of the group activities seemed to too simple to me, maybe because I am pursuing an MBA now and I have done more intense activities. Otherwise, no cons as such.
