Can I get a job with the certificate?

Yes. It indicates you have the formal training on best practices to develop and lead successful products. You will not receive the certificate and suddenly get a call from Google. What’s key with the certificate is what you do with it. What have you built? Do you have the hard and soft skills required for the role? How can you lead a team? How do you approach new challenges? Just like a college degree - did your diploma guarantee a job? Ultimately, you have to put in the leg work and do the work to get your first PM job.

How long are the courses?

The product management training course consists of 40 hours of class time and 16 hours of guest lectures during 8 weeks. In addition to the classes, plan on spending 3-5 hours outside of class each week working on homework assignments about your product.

How is Apex different?

All of our instructors are active product managers at top technology companies. The program is hands-on, designed to be compatible with your work schedule and geared towards helping you transition successfully into a product role.

We have a very rigorous hiring process: 1 out of every 15-20 interviewed actually gets selected to become an instructor.

What does the curriculum cover?

The goal of the course is to teach you the fundamentals of product management within a technology company, and also how to get a job in product management.

During the course, you will learn how to work with each of the 3 teams through the whole product development process.

According to Glassdoor.com, the average salary for product managers is $130,000. This number can be higher depending on your location, company and previous experience.

Do I need a technical background?

The more technical skills you have the better. Many students do not have a coding background. Most product manager jobs do not require that PM does the hard coding, though you can see that at a smaller startup where the PM handles every facet of the product cycle. Since we provide complimentary materials to supplement the product management course, most of our students have found that learning the coding concepts alongside product management can accelerate the learning process.
