NextLeap

I was enrolled in Product Design Fellowship last year. What I really liked about the whole program was industry aligned course. The instructors were practicing Design & Product professionals and the mentors were available every week to solve our issues and help us build our portfolio showcases. The mentor I was assigned to also helped us in understanding the course milestone evaluations and also gave us an Idea of the product certification assessment. If you are looking to learn and ready to put in hours for this course then it will be a rewarding experience in the longer run.  Read less

The experience is quite subjective—it really depends on where you are professionally and what you're looking for. Personally, I wanted to build a solid portfolio, and NextLeap does a great job at that. Their instructors stand out compared to the industry, ensuring you develop strong product sense and technical skills. At the end of the day, it’s all about learning—if you have that mindset, this program is a no-brainer. Read less

The comprehensive curriculum along with the weekly assignments made it very easy to understand the course. The cherry on the top is the community which is incredibly supportive, collaborative, and engaging. 

The instructors are seasoned product managers and subject matter experts, which helped boost the practicality of the course. The course is very hands on, where each weekly assignment is inspired from a real world product management challenge. 

From the basics of design thinking to conducting user research and creating high fidelity prototypes, this course ensures the students inculcate first principle thinking to solve problems.  Read less

Nextleap has been the most important part of my journey in Product Management. The best part about nextleap, apart from a great instructor like Arindam, is the structure with which the course is designed , as it covers everything about PM in a correct order. Also, bagging a product role as a fresher was a challenging task for me and I had my own doubts about it, but nextleap assured that it is possible and today my dream has become a reality because of them. Thank you! Read less

I wasn’t sure what career path to pick and then I stumbled upon the NextLeap Fellowship. The live sessions were extremely insightful and even the online material was very well curated. The entire fellowship was very engaging despite multiple cohorts running simultaneously. All the industry best mentors took the live sessions and were all very approachable and extremely supportive. It didn’t just end with the graduation project. I reached out to my mentor and Arindam himself multiple times when I was struggling with my initial days of my first PM job and I was actually surprised to get replies from him. He’s always got your back. I always had a very skeptical view about ed-techs but the experience at NextLeap completely changed my mind. There’s no over the top promises, and they’re very accountable for the promises made and it’s not transactional at all. Everyone is always there to help you. 
Anybody who wants to jump into Product Management but not sure of what Product Management, this is the go to course. Of course, for a very very affordable price. All the other courses out there are very misleading - I myself went through a bad experience. I think NextLeap’s PM fellowship is the best one out there. 

Before I forget, my current job is through NextLeap. And I got this placement support post many months of my cohort ending. They extended the services due to COVID. The whole placement process was so smoothly handled. I am extremely grateful to Meha, the placement coordinator who always responded, didn’t leave me hanging. 
Overall, extremely extremely grateful to NextLeap for shaping my career.  Read less

I joined this fellowship to complement my PG program and get more real-world exposure to product management. The first thing that I found interesting was the mentor circle and the groups that used to brainstorm on different product cases. So many viewpoints to solve the cases, thanks to my mentor Himanshu for engaging sessions. The way the program is structured makes learning fun and, at the same time instills some discipline. I recommend not to skip the week more than once and stay on track. The quality of the instructors, their humbleness, and hands-on sessions have given me so much confidence that I still find it useful when doing my product work. Thanks to Arindam for regular sessions on interview preparation, resume building and career tips. I found my product job through NextLeap and it was worth the wait. A family-like feel and a lot of gratitude towards NextLeap team.

The fellowship was a transformative experience, a real roller-coaster ride where we not only learned but also applied our learnings to real-world problems. Initially, the learning process felt challenging because we had to think like a product guy which was new to me. However, as I gained more insights and skills, the journey became more manageable and now I feel much more confident in my abilities.

I had an excellent experience with NextLeap's career services. From the beginning of my job search to the interview process, salary negotiations and finally onboarding, NextLeap played a crucial role in supporting me every step of the way.

Some of my friends recommended the Nextleap PM Fellowship to me, and I have to say that it was a great decision that I made to enroll in the cohort. It was a very transformative journey full of learning, networking opportunities, proper interview preparation, etc. The tutors and mentors are well-versed with the content and follow a very structured approach. The learning happens by taking up real-world case studies and discussions just like an MBA classroom environment. The curriculum is well structured and intuitive with assignments to test your understanding. We have a graduating project at the end of the cohort where you have the chance to work on real-world problems, qualifying that you become a Top Fellow. The job assistance is really helpful with a wide range of portfolio companies coming on. In the end, I would like to be thankful to the NextLeap team for being super supportive and exclusive. For all the people reading this, I would recommend going for the fellowship and working consistently throughout the course. All the best! Read less

NextLeap is an intensive fellowship.
Heavy work for weekly milestone and learning material.
Work to do for Getting a PM job is different from Actually doing the PM work.
It's easy to get lost in the swarm of material, new connections and weekly learnings.
I focussed on the former during my fellowship.
After the fellowship course of 2 months, this is part 1. 
It's your choice if you are seeking placement support. If yes, you'll have to take part in process of becoming eligible to get placement support via becoming a top fellow by doing a course graduation project(max 3 attempts immediately after course completion, one each month) , peer mock interviews and getting a yes from mentor mock interview. This is part 2.
Part 3: then you'll get added to placements channel just like college placements. Opportunities come and we can apply.

Product knowledge and building a product portfolio is where NextLeap helps. NextLeap also provides placement support.

As you are aware of the current job market crisis. It's the same for Product opportunities. A little dry. Better to keep expectations low and effort maximum. Probability of bagging a Product role with nextleap is far higher than without. Read less

The fellowship formed a strong foundation for me as a designer. I made sure to be in sync with the course calendar, and that helped me a lot in becoming a Top Fellow in the first attempt itself. I got to meet incredible design instructors- the best of the industry and an absolutely great mentor. Becoming a top fellow opened gates for placement support, and the team proactively made sure of sending profiles of fellows to apt openings. The hassle of getting an internship was shared by the career team helping me focus only on take home assignments and interviews, rather than putting energy into finding vacancies and following up with recruiters.
