Product School Silicon Valley - Adult education school in Santa Clara - 4701 Patrick Henry Dr Building #4, USA

Product School offers a very practical hands-on kind of coursework that will allow existing and aspiring PMs to practice the art of Product Management and excel in their careers. Right from the coursework, homework to final project and the feedback from the instructor is very valuable and pertinent. The class participation is amazing and you get to work with a variety of talented folks in the class. The best thing I liked about the course is that it is taught by industry Product Management leaders from top notch companies and you really get the practical insights through the class. Needless to say, my instructor(Will Gonzalez) did an amazing job of providing valuable details about real-life challenges in building world class products with ways to overcome them. I’m glad I took up this course and added a valuable credential to my experience.

I participated in the accelerated program by Product School which was led by Fawn Qui. I loved the accelerated program as we covered the entire material in just a week and it gave me additional resources to go through areas that I needed additional help with. I would highly recommend Product School for its full-encompassing curriculum. I was thinking of the PMC certification for almost 2 years and researched different courses. I feel Product School has been one of my best decisions as the course covers all the nuances of Product Management. It’s a great platform to network with people from different countries and learn about the PM role. Product school also has a lot of free material such as blogs, podcasts, webinars, live chats, and a great wealth of knowledge by PMs from different companies. Overall it’s been a great experience learning from experienced PMs and a great ecosystem to get your foot into Product Management.

I recently completed my course with Product school. I'm from Engineering background & Wanted to upgrade my career @ product side. My experience at Product School was positive . The live sessions were really impressive, due to COVID-19 situation there were no in- person sessions. This course improved my way of thinking & problem approaching & solving skills towards the overall product journey. My Instructor "Ronki" was really helpful and very co-operative , she was always ready to help before & after the class. She provided the valuable links to gain the knowledge outside the course as well like mock interview video, reference books etc. She shared her own experience and gave us the live examples. I'm very happy with my overall learning. Looking forward to get the positive response from the job market & hoping get the placement soon.

I just finished my last class of PLC at Product School and loved it! Overall, I think the school experience itself is a great example of a well designed and built product! Our instructor Amit Mahajan is very experienced and was able to explain every one of the hardest questions I threw at him (I'm a software engineer). There are really cool tools the school provides you to do group activities and build out your project, for example Mural and Balsamic. The class is very interactive, since we’re all experienced in our fields. The Slack group provides a network of experienced people and an AMA channel of very experienced PM experts. Got no complaints! Though I’m not looking to land a job in PM, I learned a lot, and I thought the program was well worth the money.

A meaningful way to start your Product Management learning if you are new to the subject. If you are already a Product Manager, this material gives you several frameworks you can rely on to hone in on an existing skillset. I loved my instructor. He was engaging and brought his years of PM experience to the classroom to share and trigger our curious minds. I really enjoyed the practical and team-based approach Product School follows to impart the material to the students. Resume building exercise was extremely helpful. It would be great if they can establish themselves more strongly to help with recruitment for folks who are transitioning to PM roles. But overall, I would highly recommend the course to anyone.

I attended Product School's Product Management Course in NYC and really enjoyed it. I come from a consulting background where I have had some experience working as a Product Owner for clients and wanted to figure out how to transition into a true Product Manager role. The course covered every aspect of Product Management from understanding a company's context and goals, identifying new product opportunities and validating them using both quantitative and qualitative analysis, how to bring ideas to life via the product development lifecycle, and how to effectively market a product. The course goes into the right level of detail for you to understand all the potential responsibilities of a Product Manager at different companies. The last week also focuses on the PM Job search process, which I found to be super helpful. Throughout the course you pick a company of interest to you and propose a new product feature or idea. All of the homework assignments build on each other and help you with your final project of presenting the product idea to the class. Outside of class, I would estimate that the homework assignments took me about 6 hours (on average). Alex, my instructor, was incredibly helpful and professional throughout the entire course. She offered a unique perspective on Product Management, as she has experience as a PM at a large company as well as an early stage start-up. She made herself available outside of class to answer any questions about homework assignments, final project ideas, and the job-search process. This is definitely a great course to take if you are looking to understand the role of a PM better, get a feel for what it takes to be a successful PM, meet a lot of smart, like-minded people, and eventually transition into Product Management!

I think the quality of Product Management course is really depended on the instructors. I took the class February 2019 in Silicon Valley Campus with Patrick Millegan. The learning experience was an absolute success, which sets a solid foundation to my product management journey. The learning expectation was set very clear in the beginning of the class, that this class does not guarantee product manager jobs at graduation but it’s up to individuals to keep trying and seeking. Patrick has made the journey easier for me with his experience in product management and his contagious passion. Aside the designated learning material by product school, the additional layer of his understanding and explanation has made the material thicker and more applicable. His teaching was able to spark more in-depth questions that’s more practical and we can always refer back to in the future. That’s how I think separates a great PM from a good PM. With his leadership and expertise, it was really easy to ask questions, keep him involved, getting advice on interviewing and resumes outside of the class. He created a trusting, open, safe, interactive environment for us that product management is starting to make sense. He is willing to take an extra mile and beyond with us to spend more time, build relationships, and offer genuine advice to make us better. At the end of the learning, I have a clear take-away from this class, a good community who are on the same journey with me and a reliable mentor in the industry, which I think is invaluable.There are always more Product School can do and improve. My experience here is pretty positive and looking forward to other classes and more exploring.

Just finished my software product management courses with Roshan. Absolutely enjoyed the experience and got to know a lot of great cohort classmates. The sessions gave me a comprehensive understanding of what product management is and what product managers do. Roshan has many years of industry experience and is always going above and beyond to help all the students out with their questions. I found the sessions very informative and very glad I had him as a the instructor and got to know all my wonderful cohort classmates. Would definitely recommend the 8 weeks curriculum for anyone who is interested in considering the PM role as the next step.
