I recently took the Product Leadership course offered by Brainstation. Overall, I found the course to be extremely valuable and well worth the investment.
The course covered a wide range of topics related to product leadership, including product strategy, product development, team management, and customer insights. Each topic was presented in a clear and concise manner, with plenty of real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts.
One of the things I appreciated most about the course was the emphasis on practical application. Throughout the course, we were given opportunities to apply what we were learning to real-world scenarios, which helped to reinforce the concepts and make them more tangible.
The instructors (Laura L. & Myriam K.) were knowledgeable and engaging, and they did an excellent job of facilitating discussion and answering questions. I also appreciated the opportunity to connect with other participants, who came from a diverse range of backgrounds and industries.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Product Leadership course to anyone looking to enhance their skills as a product leader. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, there is something in this course for everyone.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Each day was spent hands-on-keyboard practicing the skills necessary for weekly project deliverables. The pace of a 12-week program is unforgiving, but with good time management and open dialog with instructors, my success was supported throughout the journey. I feel confident in the technical skills I've gained as well as my ability to translate my analysis into meaningful, actionable insights to non-technical partners. The career success team has iterated over several resume submissions to ensure an optimal overview for recruiters and hiring managers. Networking and interview skills were also woven into the curriculum. They offer extended support during the job search that I'm now going to lean into.
