Answers about our course, coaching, and resources.

Foundations of Product Management Course

Who is the Foundations course for?

This course is for students, recent-graduates, and mid-career professionals looking to explore and get a role in product management (PM). Our course content provides an introduction to the product manager role, strategic frameworks for approaching the PM discipline, tactical skills for on-the-job success, and how to break-into and navigate the PM career.

If you’re already working as a product manager, this course is not for you; however, you may benefit from 1:1 coaching or our PM Bootcamp!

Our course also provides included resources such as templates and guides to help kick start any project you’re working on.

How long do I have access to the materials?

You have lifetime access to all the materials in the course. The videos, templates and guides, questions & answers, everything.

How long does the course take to complete?

Insert how many hours of video, and typically over what time students take the course.

What if I don’t have a tech background?

Not a problem! About 30% of all Product Managers don’t possess a technical degree or haven’t worked in tech before. That’s 1 in 3 people! Our course supports students from a wide variety of backgrounds, and we ensure our content is delivered for everyone to understand. Our 1:1 support is also available to help solidify concepts and fill in any gaps. If you’re interested in the course, it will be a great fit!

Is the course helpful for mid-career professionals?

Absolutely! If you’re a mid-career professional you’ll likely receive the most value from our modules on strategic thinking, tactical PM skills, and navigating the PM career. Our interviews from PMs across the tech industry, alongside our included resources such as templates and guides, are another great reason to take the course.

Are there any prerequisites for the Foundations of PM course?

There are no requirements prior to taking our Foundations course. If you’re interested in the course, it will be a great fit! We specifically tailor the course content to ensure it’s well suited and provides value for both beginners and mid-career professionals.

What happens after I finish the course?

After completion, you’ll be on your way to starting your career in product! Graduates of the course typically either go straight into recruiting for PM roles or increase their knowledge and practical skills by participating in our PM Bootcamp. Upon course completion you’ll also receive a certificate you can add to your LinkedIn profile to bolster your resume.

Who is eligible for scholarships, and how much can you receive?

We offer scholarships based on need, on a case-by-case basis. We aim to provide a scholarship to every student that qualifies. Students, recent-graduates, low-income workers, and recently laid-off folks receive the bulk of our aid. Our scholarships range from 25-100% of the course value. If you’d like to request a scholarship, please email our friendly staff at scholarships@productclub.tech with your information and circumstances, and we’ll work with you to achieve your goal.

Will I earn a Product Management Certificate from this course?

Yes! Upon completion, you’ll earn a certificate of completion which you can also add to your LinkedIn profile to bolster your resume.

What is the price of the course?

The Foundations of PM course costs $250. We have flexible payment options including installments and scholarships to help ensure you can participate.

Product Management Coaching

Who is PM Coaching for?

Coaching is extremely flexible to fit the needs of every student. Our coaching services cover a wide range of topics from course concepts, to practice interviewing, resume reviews, and more. If you have a topic, we have resources and time to help you figure it out.

Our students benefit most from coaching while enrolled in our Foundations course or PM bootcamp. However, if you’re looking for an accelerated learning opportunity for a specific topic, coaching is the right place for that.

We also coach many people who are not actively enrolled in one of our programs. These tend to be early or mid-career product managers who need help with a specific problem, or are looking for career guidance, interview practice, or resume review.

How long is each coaching session?

A standard coaching session is 1 hour in duration. When looking at availability, you will see 1hr blocks and you can book multiple slots at once to create a longer session if needed.

If you desire a session longer than 2 hours (for example, on-site interview simulation or project consulting) please reach out to coaching@productclub.tech with your request and we will find a slot.

What topics can I get help with?

Our most common topics are: course concepts, resume reviews, interview practice, navigating careers, and project consulting. Our coaching is extremely flexible to fit the needs of every student, and you can bring any topic of your choosing.

Who is the coach?

Introducing our head coach, Jordan Wolff! Jordan is the founder of Product Club and a Product Manager at Microsoft in the cloud computing division. He has nearly a decade of experience working in product across a variety of industries, focusing on software development.

Jordan is a lifelong teacher — in middle school he was a science tutor, in high school he taught golf, and in college he was a Teaching Assistant for computer science. (Golf was by far the hardest topic to teach!). It’s safe to say he knows a thing or two about how to teach and coach effectively.

Over the years, Jordan has taught and mentored hundreds of students across software engineering and product management, and has helped numerous people get jobs working in product at tech companies.

Most importantly, Jordan is an easy-going person who’s great at listening and solving problems. He loves helping people achieve their goals and follow their progress. In his free time, he’s passionate about running and fitness, cooking incredible meals for dinner parties, and climate action.

Can I receive coaching if I’m also enrolled in the Foundations of PM course?

Yes, and this is highly recommended! Our students benefit the most from pairing 1:1 instruction with their group or self-directed learning. The PM Bootcamp (coming soon) also includes 1 free 1 hour coaching session, which can be used at any time during the program.

We find that students who receive 1:1 coaching, focused on specific topics or career readiness, have the best outcomes at the end of our programs.

Can I book recurring coaching?

Absolutely! The main benefit of recurring coaching is the ability to practice frequently and receive structured, actionable feedback on a regular basis, which accelerates learning. Recurring coaching is also great if you have multiple topics, since it will allow for a more in-depth conversation about each one. Recurring coaching also receives a 15% discount.

What is the cancellation, “no show,” and rescheduling policy?

Coaching sessions cannot be cancelled after they are booked. Sessions can be rescheduled for free by giving us more than 24 hour notice.‍

If you fail to attend a coaching session, or are more than 30 minutes late, the session will be considered a "no show" and it will count as having been used.

What is the price of Coaching?

Coaching starts at $100 / hour. We have flexible payment options including installments and scholarships to help ensure you can take advantage of this opportunity.

Recurring coaching sessions (2+) are eligible for a 15% discount, and must be booked at the same time.

Project consulting is billed on a project-by-project basis, depending on the scope. Project consulting has limited availability.
