Is this course right for you?

Our take
A free Product School micro-certification covering the strategic layer of product management.

Good for: A free, quick grounding in product strategy skills.

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

In around two hours it works through defining a product vision, setting OKRs, building and communicating roadmaps, and applying prioritisation frameworks like RICE — the higher-altitude skills that separate reacting to requests from actually steering a product. For a free, self-paced couple of hours that's a genuinely useful skill top-up, and not a substitute for an in-depth programme.

One thing to be clear on: this is a free micro-certification offered through Product School's email campaigns, and it's a world apart from their flagship certificates, which cost $3,999 and up. Treat it as a credible short learning record for a specific skill, nothing more (as of 2026).

Frequently asked questions

Both, honestly. The micro-certification is free, but Product School uses it to introduce their paid, cohort-based certifications, so expect follow-up emails. That's a fair trade for free, credible material — just go in knowing the free course sits at the top of their funnel.

Keep expectations realistic. In product-management hiring, demonstrated experience and how you think about problems matter far more than any certificate — free or paid. Take this for the frameworks and vocabulary, not as a credential that moves a hiring decision.

This is a short, self-paced taster (around two hours) covering the strategy layer; the paid programs are longer, cohort-based, and taught live by working product managers. Use the free one to decide whether their paid path is worth it for you.

No — it's pitched at newcomers and people adjacent to product (engineers, marketers, founders). It gives you the language and frameworks; applying them to a real product is where the learning actually lands.
