Our approach

Live, friendly class environment

All our programs include live classes taught by our program instructors which give you the chance to ask questions, clarify problems and clearly understand the principles you're being taught throughout the programs. If you miss a class, you can catch up online later in your dashboard.

A personalised experienced

We work with you to help set your goals at the start of our programs and understand what you personally would like to get out of your time with us. We're on hand throughout to ensure you achieve your goals you set and can apply the concepts you've learned in your role.

Skills, not certificates

We believe certificates are a little outdated so we don't place too much emphasis on them. Instead, we focus on creating the best learning materials to help you to acquire practical new skills you can put to use in the real world to achieve outcomes for your product.

Focused on actions and outcomes

Our programs are not for product people who want to sit back and passively listen to content; this is about being actively engaged. We encourage our students to take specific steps and implement them into your daily routine so that you apply what you learn.

Our program instructors have worked at and taught students from the following companies:
