    Product Management bootcamp

    The course over 10 weeks has been really good, informative and hands on. It provides with a great overview of what a Product Managers life looks like and what the day to day of the job is. It involves several experiences to make it more practical than a simple lecture.

    Great experience for those in Technology!

    The experience with BrainStation for the Product Management course was great! I got what I needed from this which was diving deeper into the Product Management space, which I had some prior knowledge in. Both Khaled and Parisa were great instructors - super flexible with their time, feedback and patience in answering our questions. My only development feedback would be how much emphasis this course places on technology vs not. For some folks in the class it was pretty clear that the conc...

    Product Management Certification Course

    The course content was excellent -- it teaches you everything you need to know in order to start your journey as a product manager. You will, however, need to do much more learning to truly become an expert. Parisa and Khalid were incredible instructors who were available outside class hours to support us in whatever we needed. They've both reviewed my resume and given me advice. You should prepare yourself and set the right expectations: this course will not get you a job. As a matter o...

    Good course overall

    The pace was a bit slower than I would have liked - it felt like the curriculum didn't have enough for instructors to fill all the time. Content itself was interesting and it sparked an interest for me to pursue product management as a career.

    This class was overall very engaging and helpful in introducing new tools for data analytics. I am fairly well-versed in excel, but hadn't used Tableau or SQL before, and I now feel comfortable using all of the tools for analyzing data. My instructor was very helpful and engaged, and truly seemed to care about ensuring we all understood everything.

    This course was exactly what I was looking for before starting my first job. Claudio, the professor, and all of my classmates were amazing and dedicated people who were very committed to learning. The last 10 weeks were filled with new concepts, and there was never a time that I lost hope. Everyone was always willing to help, and the group activities allowed us to interact and participate remotely. The skills we learned in this course will undoubtedly help me move forward, and I hope tha...

    Instructors are very well qualified and a great resource

    Although the curriculum is probably very common to what you'll find in other programs, I was impressed that the instructors seem to be very established in their field. One worked in digital marketing for Adidas and having that resource definitely made the class feel more like a guided class than just a series of powerpoint slides. Highly recommend!
