    I want to become a Product Manager, will this course work for me?

    Just a heads-up: in the real world, people who become Product Managers are usually strong Project Managers, Business Analysts and Marketing Managers, so it is important to consider the strengths in this sphere and domain.

    The ProductMan course provides sufficient practical knowledge to enable the above-mentioned specialists to be re-qualified as Product Manager.

    Sounds good, but in how it really is in fact? The program is good, the speakers are cool, but what if I don’t get any of it?

    The program of the course was developed together with the speakers of the course, based on their professional and practical competence. Reviews of our students on FaceBook and in articles are much more eloquent than any targeted advertising.

    I need this course, but I don’t have time for it – I have to develop the product!

    13 lessons with an hour and a half duration, for which you can get clear instructions on how to work on your project in practice.

    How are practical lessons of the course conducted?

    On the course, you go through a full cycle of Product Development and Marketing: instead of disconnected and disconnected from reality, you dive into one real (or test, optional) product and methodically work on its improvement and promotion.

    Do mentors have the competence to check my homework?

    Mentors work in products companies as Product Managers, or in C-Level positions.

    Will the course help me determine the success rate of the product, then reach them and analyze?

    A lecture on metrics and product analysis will once and for all clarify how to work with analytics and what to look for when analyzing your product for success. Tell you without what metrics can not be on the start, and what you need to apply over time. Share insights on how to conduct a survey correctly to understand the audience and develop the product according to the needs of real users.

    I don’t know what to do and in what order, how to work with users, study competitors and generally what to do to achieve success.

    We will provide you with marketing knowledge so that you can both form a marketing strategy and supervise a team of marketers.

    Will I get a certificate?

    Yes, we will issue you a course completion certificate. It will be available online for pinning on LinkedIn. Also, once you complete all homework assignments and pass the exam, you can get a certificate of honor.

    Can tuition be paid in installments?

    Yes, it can be paid in installments. The conditions for splitting payments are discussed individually for each specific case.
