    Great classroom experience and collaboration

    I studied Product management and had a great experience in classroom setting. Content can be bit more detailed, it felt short of what I have seen my partner working on as product manager. The product strategy roadmap is great and I loved everyone's interaction  sharing there experience from professional experience

    Learned New Skills in a New Area!

    the UX class at Brainstation was a great way to dip my toes into a new field of work. Working in product marketing, UX design has always been something I've been interested in but never knew anything about. After taking this course, I have a great idea of what this field of work entails, and have learned skills around empathy, process and creativity that I didn't have before.

    Fun yet Hard Work!

    This bootcamp was content-heavy with some unrealistic deadlines for projects, however, the instructors were always very responsive and open to helping you out. I could really tell that the instructors genuinely cared about the students and wanted to help and mentor them as much as possible, which felt really nice. I completed the part-time program, which lasted 8 months, but it really flew by! The course content is structured really well and they offer really valuable skills that you put...

The lessons were well thought out, the instructors contributed really valuable anecdotes from their real world PM experience, and the cohort was full of smart, enthusiastic students.

    Brainstation

    I had an amazing time learning more about product management at Brainstation. The course was very engaging and informative. It was interesting to look at familiar concepts such as target person but from a product management angle. The profs shared lots of insights on how they approach different scenarios in their work as PMs which helped to gain a different perspective.
