The PreSales Academy was a really incredible experience. The content, coaches, mentors and external speakers elevated this program like nothing I've taken before, as everyone was extremely engaged. Best part overall is the network you'll gain and the support to go alongside your job search!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Great Experience, Highly recommend.
I attended the PreSales academy from Oct 2023-Feb 2024. I found the program extremely helpful in moving my career forward from an SDR role to the SE role. Solutions Engineering is a hard industry to get into, but PSA skilled me up and made me a competitive applicant, and interviewer.
As I previously was an SDR, I will highlight the one thing other people in this role (or people who have previously worked in tech sales) should know. There will be times you feel like you are hearing things you already know, especially in the beginning. Initially I was annoyed, but I later realized this is an opportunity to learn my industry again from people with immense experience.
PSA does everything it says it will, it does not guarentee you a job, but if you follow their guidance, it is only a matter of time until you get one.
I was an SDR for 13 months, and I successfully transitioned to the SE role 3 months after graduating.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Horrible Experience
From the time I applied until the final decision, it took over 8 months. In between I was required to create all kinds of videos, take multiple tests, and write essays. I also found out they have different requirements for different people. While I had to do extra work, other applicants breezed right through with no resistance. Total waste of hours of my time and months long admission process. Guess I didn't "look" the part.Overall1.0Curriculum1.0Job support1.0Instructors1.0 -

Excellent Experience!
PreSales Academy was an incredible program and continues to be a wealth if support! If you are a career changer, don’t miss out on this opportunity! The curriculum fully prepares you for a role in PreSales, guiding you through resume building, networking, presentation skills, SaaS, business acumen and more. The coaches, mentors, and advisors offer incredible support and expertise. This is a credible, well rounded program with people that will continue to support you long after graduation.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Pre Sales Academy
I have recently completed the Pre Sales Academy and wanted to give a review on this course. Firstly, the application processes was very smooth as they made it very clear what they were looking for and also were very responsive throughout the entire process.
Secondly, the course structure and curriculum was extremely detailed and organized, the course does a really good job preparing you for a Pre Sales role and how to conduct effective demos.
Lastly, the team offers a lot of support when it comes to job applications, it is still your responsibility to stay diligent and continue to network and apply, however they try their best to connect you with employers and also offer extensive help with the interview process.
I was able to land a Pre Sales role and I don’t think I would have been able to land my dream job without the program!
Thank you to everyone at the PSA for helping me break into my dream career!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The Presales Academy opened up my eyes to a role I never knew existed and never knew I’d find a professional home in. The academy is well structured with mentors, coaches, and advisors to provide you as much support as possible. The first class is about imposter syndrome so everyone can be motivated and convinced that this is a role we are all fully capable of. The curriculum consists of instructor led lectures and online modules to learn key technical skills and salesforce. I now work in a Presales role at Smartsheet thanks to this academy and am incredibly grateful for it.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0
