“I did the General Assembly course on Product Management, but it didn’t cover the technical side of product management and I didn’t really know where to start.

I did some research and couldn’t find many courses out there that covered this. I came across the Web Technologies Program and it offered the structure and level of content I was looking for. Having spoken to my brother (a front end developer), he echoed that it offered a good structure and would cover the material a product manager would need (based on his experience of what technical understanding made a good product manager).

The program gave me a broad overview of the key technologies used in building digital products from a product management perspective. I particularly liked the practical exercises with front end technologies (HTML, CSS and Javascript), as well as learning about APIs. I’d definitely recommend it to other product managers who want to learn more about the technical side of product management.”

“As an entrepreneur and executive at Fortune 500s, I have been leading product teams for the last 6+ years. As I have a business / non-tech background, I am always striving to improve my technical knowledge, as well as stay current on the latest applications. I have completed courses at leading technical universities, coding courses in-person and on-line and attended seminars. They were all good, yet none delivered specifically to the skills and strategies a product manager needs. I was delighted to discover The Department of Product’s Web Tech course, and enjoyed it so much that I also completed the Product Mastery course as well!

Both courses are outstanding, and focused on: a) what you critically need to know as a PM, so your time is well spent and b) implications of product strategy and technology (i.e. great module on APIs, both the ‘why’ and ‘how’). The courses are well presented and clear. I peppered Jason and Richard with questions after class, and always got great follow-up from them. These courses are a MUST for any PM, at any stage of their career.”

“I hadn’t heard of the Department of Product before, but I was impressed by the quality of the free content so I decided to give it a try. The best part about the programs they offer is that they are uniquely tailored to the needs of product managers. Too many other courses focus on general technology skills and are often tailored towards engineers; the Department of Product is unique because it focuses on the product community and our unique needs within organisations.”

“As someone who’s been working in product management for just under 2 years, I was initially worried that the content of the course would be a bit too introductory to me. I liked how well structured the course was. Every topic built upon the previous topics, which made it very easy to follow and understand. It was also really great that all the material was available at any given time for self-learning/review.
I would highly recommend the program to those interested in product management, specifically with web technologies. The course covers a lot of ground and the attention-to-detail & experience that Jason & Richard provide are second to none.”

“I was highly impressed by the content, style and delivery of the Web Technologies program. Both Richard and Jason are very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I found their style of teaching very effective and they kept the class format very interactive and dynamic. In addition, they consistently made themselves available outside of class hours. I feel that the course has provided me with sufficient knowledge and confidence related to web technologies from a product perspective.”
