    Good

    If you’re new to product management / product you’ll find this course very useful. If you have some experience you’ll still find it useful. If you have lots of experience you’ll find this course less useful.

    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...

    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.

    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!

    The course was very thorough and the instructors were knowledgeable and approachable. I think it's hard to get the content right for such a diverse level of experiences in the room, so didn't find that all the lessons were all that relevant or helpful for me, but managed to always come away with at least one good learning.

    Stressful yet rewarding

    I took the web development bootcamp at BrainStation a very intensive twelve week experience. The program is very intensive and fast paced if you aren't fully dedicated you can quickly fall behind and either quit or continue the course but not get as much as you would have hoped out of it. If you are planning on being dedicated for twelve weeks and attempt to get everything you can out of the course then you will end up having the experience and knowledge to achieve what you want.
