TOP REVIEWS FROM THE ART & SCIENCE OF PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

by MFSep 7, 2022

I feel confident and backed with the right knowledge to lead and turn out quality tech products.

by EBAug 3, 2022

I thought all these courses were excellent. The second half was a bit of a shock, as I do not have an engineering background.

by MSMar 9, 2021

Excellent! I learned more in about the technical topics in this course than I've learned in several courses covering Computer Science, SEO, Web Development, Data Analytics and more. Thank-you!

by GGSep 14, 2020

This is the type of technical knowledge that many PMs have trouble with! Amazing how it's presented so clearly in this course.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
