Super fast-paced and requires a lot of at-home work to pull together the final.
My only critical piece of feedback is that it would have been nice to see an example final project before we began working on ours. The final project template provided by Brainstation didn't align with what our instructors told us to pull together -- it was definitely a good guide but it would have been nice to see an example project to really ground ourselves into what makes a good presentation, especially for those who are totally new to product management.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

The instructors did amazingly well explaining theoretical concepts and including real-life examples so that the concepts are really easy to follow and understand. I appreciate that the instructors also bring in different perspectives in class, knowing that the PM career path and experience isn't the same across different companies and industries. I also enjoy that they send further reading, such as videos and articles, after class, to learn more and dive deeper into certain class topics.
In terms of the class format, i love that there are activities included in between class instruction to help us apply the concepts being taught. Despite there's quite a bit of work that needs to be done for the final project, I love that we get to present it and get constructive feedback from the instructors to further learn and apply the concepts being taught in class.
All in all, I enjoy this experience and would highly recommend for somebody looking to transition into product management.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -
