Product School

I attended Product Leadership Certificate program in 2021 and enjoyed it very much, especially thanks to our fantastic instructor Shilpa Vir.
Shilpa brought a lot of practical knowledge to the classes, and live discussions with the diverse group of professionals from various domains were inspiring and informative.
The curriculum covers many aspects of the PM role - from business strategy to deeply technical areas, which makes it feel rushed a bit to fit into 8 6-hour long classes.
Nevertheless, a highly recommended course with lots of applied knowledge and a great diverse cohort, enjoyed it a lot.

I wanted to love it, but I would not recommend the Product School for students looking to really dive into Product Management and learn about it for the first time. While the PM Certificate course does provide an overview of being a PM, it is very much just an overview. There was very little practical experience, and not much more to the content other than PowerPoint slides. We did have a few group exercises, but those weren't as beneficial as they could have been. Since there were students with prior PM experience mixed in with those of us with no experience, the group projects tended to be led by those experienced PMs. As a student with no experience, this made it difficult to actually learn or practice. Though there was homework, our instructor implied that they wouldn't offer any additional feedback other than what we already went over in class, since the homework was the same as our group projects. 

I'm sure this will help on LinkedIn, but I didn't learn anything that I couldn't have learned in PM books or through much cheaper courses via other avenues like Coursera (for reference, the PM course at Product School cost $4500 as of summer 2021).

I don't think Product School is worth it, and I wouldn't recommend taking the Product Manager Certificate course.

I took the 8 weeks product management certification program to enhance my skills and learn the basics of Product management. I have been looking to transition into PM and this was a perfect opportunity.

Our instructor Alex Alwan was a real mentor and shared valuable knowledge shared in the course and based on his Product Manager experiences. He knew the material really well and supplemented the lessons with specific and relevant examples from his own personal experience as Sr. Product Manager. Additionally, he adjusted the pace of the lessons to our cohort's needs and interests.

I would highly recommend taking this course under him for any aspiring Product Managers. 

I recently completed this 8 Week Product manager certificate course with Shilpa Vir as our instructor. The course definitely met my expectations.  Shilpa has significant amount of on-field experience as Product manager and her practical insights are what makes the difference between just reading a book on PM duties vs illustrations of various on-the-job experience she brings to the class. She is very passionate and effective in conveying the course content and encourages us to think like a PM at every aspect of product life cycle. she is honest and gives practical feedbacks on ideas and assignments.  The course itself is a well organized with decent content spread across weeks to take us through the journey of a PM for a product from idea phase to launch phase. The discussions in the class and weekly assignments help us practice the theory part learnt in the class. 

If someone is planning to make a career switch, or interested in learning and experiencing the job of a PM, then i do recommend this course and of-course shilpa would be a great instructor and coach to have!

I highly recommend the Product School if you are looking to break into the PM career and are looking for a comprehensive overview of the Product Management role. 
I recently completed an 8-week Product Management Certificate course at Product School with Shilpa Vir and absolutely enjoyed it. Shilpa brings years of industry experience in this field and she always goes above and beyond in clarifying the concepts with her real-time work experience. She is very knowledgeable and supportive and I'm very happy that I got to know her and professionally connect to her through this wonderful course. 

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 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! 

My full stack product management course through Product School with instructor Joel Palathinkal was absolutely amazing! We learned SO much about product management, everything from product strategy to marketing to design to analytics and engineering as it related to the Product Manager role. Joel brought so much unique insight to the course with his professional experience and education that helped me learn so much about what it takes to succeed in the role. Without previous product management experience, I’m so glad I took the course with him as he’s extremely knowledgeable in the field as well as other related fields. He was able to explain the difficult content in an easy to digest format and always related what we were learning back to the product manager role specifically which was extremely helpful. He also always made himself available outside of the class for help and found creative ways to keep the class and students very engaged throughout the eight weeks. We also were able to gain insight into other extremely important parts of the role, such as office politics and handling different personalities - things I wouldn’t have learned from just reading books on the subject. I would highly recommend taking Product School’s course with him. Five stars!
