Frequently asked questions
What does a Certification from Product School mean?

Product School certifications are the gold standard in Product Management and AI Training and are recognized across the industry. Since 2014, Product School has been at the cutting edge of Product Management education. We’ve certified over 20,000 Product Managers from around the world, so we know exactly what it takes to succeed in this highly competitive and ever changing industry. Hiring managers recognize that our alumni have been trained by the very best.
What’s the schedule and duration of the course?

We know you’re busy, so making this fit in with your schedule is key! That’s why we have multiple course options that focus on making this as convenient as possible.
Who are Product School instructors?

Our instructors are accomplished AI Product Leaders who work at some of the most prominent Silicon Valley companies, such as Google, Facebook, Netflix, Airbnb, PayPal, Uber, and Amazon. As experienced professionals who build digital products for millions of people and work with AI every day, they know exactly what it takes to get upskilled as a Product Manager and succeed in the role as an AI native PM.
How many students are in each class?

At Product School, we believe in fostering a collaborative and personalized learning environment. That’s why we keep our class sizes small, with a limited number of students per class. Unlike other Product Management courses, where you may be competing for the instructor's attention among dozens or even hundreds of students, we ensure that you'll receive individual attention and forge meaningful relationships with your instructor and peers. They’re also just big enough that you benefit from learning and networking alongside students with a broad range of professional backgrounds.
What are the classes like?

Our AI certifications are hands-on, immersive, and practical from the very first day. You’ll be using state-of-the-art PM and AI tools, taking part in group exercises, discussing case studies, creating content to add directly to your portfolio, strengthening your resume, and practicing mock interviews. By the end of the sessions, you’ll have built deeper knowledge and skills in AI Product Management supported by a tool-kit of frameworks aligned to real-world examples to help you succeed in your career.
Are the certifications taught in-person or online?

All of Product School's courses are delivered live online. You'll be able to stream lectures in real-time, interact with your instructor, and collaborate with your peers from anywhere in the world, all from the comfort of your own home. We offer cohorts at various times to accommodate students from different time zones and locations around the world.

Which Product School plan is right for me?

It depends on your goals and how quickly you want to grow.

If you’re serious about staying ahead of AI in product management and want maximum access — certifications, events, tools, and community — Unlimited Membership is built for you.
