TOP REVIEWS FROM THE ART & SCIENCE OF PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

by AAApr 23, 2021

I like the course a lot. It would have been better if the mock interviews in the "Acing the Product Management Interview" were a bit more strong. Other than that all the other courses are really good.

by KPAug 18, 2021

I found the course is very informative especially the interviews of Nancy and Sabrina giving practical insight of what capabilities and qualities should PMs possess as technical & managerial skills.

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 THJan 12, 2021

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
