Best Product Management Training Courses from 280 Group [280 Group]
You’ve Decided to Take a Training…
Congratulations! You are on your way to becoming more effective in your work and advancing in your role. With any of our courses, you’ll walk away with proven and practical tools that you can apply to your role on Day One back at work. You want to build better products. And that’s our very mission: to help you build products that matter.
Opportunity for Certification
Look, we understand: certification alone will not get you hired or guarantee you’ll advance in your career.
BUT, you can’t deny its benefits and the doors it may open for you. Becoming Certified demonstrates you are committed to the product management discipline and gives you professional credibility in your field. It shows you have the desire and ambition to keep learning, and that you want to advance in your career. After speaking to many hiring managers over the years, we’ve heard consistent feedback that they see candidates who take training and earn certifications demonstrate an important desire to go beyond just on-the-job work experience to improve their skills. It’s about both the typically stronger skills and passion for learning and improvement that hiring managers find in these candidates.
That’s why each of our training courses includes a one-year membership with the Association of Product Marketing and Product Management (AIPMM) and the opportunity to take the corresponding Certification exam. While other training companies may offer their own “certifications,” 280 Group courses prepare you for an independent, third-party industry-standard certification with AIPMM. As the professional association for product practitioners worldwide, AIPMM is the certifying body for those individuals, spanning 75 countries around the globe.
Added Bonus: Each AIPMM membership includes a personal Resume Review session to get you primed for your next job search. Our tip – after landing the interview, check out our guide to jumpstart your interview prep, Product Manager Interview: How to Get Hired.
