Breaking into Product Management (Your Guided Journey)
Details
A free live session to help you demystify the path to break into Product Management, hosted by Dave from Product Academy

Why You Should Attend
Breaking into Product Management is harder than ever — rejection, vague advice, and pricey certifications that don’t translate into real jobs.
This session is different...
You’ll learn practical frameworks, proven interview strategies, and step-by-step guidance directly from a PM leader who’s helped thousands land their first product role.

💡 Why I’m Doing This
I built Product Academy because I kept seeing talented people shut out of Product Management — not because they weren’t capable, but because they were taught the wrong things.
- Students paying $4,000–$5,000 for PM or CSPO certifications… only to get shut down in interviews.
 - Candidates jumping straight into product ideas instead of showing real product thinking.
 - Hiring managers (myself included) are dismissing candidates who lean too heavily on frameworks and certificates instead of demonstrating product craft.
 
The truth?
- There are no silver bullets in Product Management.
 - Certifications don’t get you hired.
 - Courses are only 20% of the learning. The other 80% comes from doing the work.
 - Experience comes before the title. Always.
 
I started Product Academy to cut through the noise — to teach the practical, no-fluff version of Product Management that actually works in the real world.
And because I believe knowledge should have no boundaries, I run free classes every month and provide scholarships for students in developing countries.
