Our take
The launch side of product — getting it out the door well — in a free Product School micro-certification.

Good for: A free primer on go-to-market strategy and launches.

Skip if: You want an in-depth programme or a flagship credential.

In around two hours it works through defining target audiences, writing positioning and messaging, choosing distribution channels, and coordinating with marketing and sales — the go-to-market work that decides whether a good product actually finds its users. It's a practical primer for PMs and product marketers, not an in-depth programme. Free and self-paced via Product School's email campaigns, and separate from their $3,999-plus flagship certificates; a short but credible marker of the specific skill (as of 2026).

Frequently asked questions

The fundamentals of go-to-market: how to plan and execute launching a product to its market — positioning, target audience, messaging, pricing considerations, launch planning, and coordinating the teams involved. It is an introductory overview of taking a product from ready-to-launch to actually reaching customers, giving you the core concepts of GTM strategy rather than a deep, step-by-step playbook.

No. This is a free, focused intro course on go-to-market, not Product School's flagship paid Product Manager Certification (which runs into the thousands and is cohort-based). Do not assume completing it grants that credential — they are separate. This gives you an introduction to GTM thinking; the paid programs are the substantial, credentialed offerings.

Product managers, marketers, and founders who want to understand how products are launched to market, plus anyone curious about go-to-market strategy. It assumes no deep prior background, so it works as an accessible introduction, suiting people who touch launches or want to understand the discipline rather than seasoned GTM specialists who would find it basic.

Yes. It is one of Product School's free introductory courses, distinct from their paid certification, with no fee to enrol. The content is usable on its own while also acting as a taster for the paid programs. There is no obligation attached to taking it.

It is short — a focused intro course, typically an hour or two — as a taster rather than a full program. That brevity makes it an easy way to understand go-to-market basics, after which deeper courses or Product School's paid offerings would take you further if the area appeals.
