FAQS

Who is Product Marketing Leadership Accelerator for?

It’s for current and aspiring product marketing leaders. If you’re a current Senior Product Marketer, a Team Lead, or a Head of, this course will help you learn from experienced leaders and absorb their tried and tested techniques. If you’re a Director or looking to be more confident as a leader, this course will a) help you identify which skill gaps you need to close to lead with impact and, b) set the foundation for your move into a leadership role. If you’re a Director or VP and looking for a program more advanced to help you make your move into the C-Suite then take a look at the C-Suite Masterclass.

How long will I get access to the self-paced content once the program’s over?

Forever. Pay once, get access to all the curriculum content, bonus footage, fireside chats, exams, coursework, alumni, templates, and frameworks for life.

What time will the live sessions take place?

We’ve scheduled the live weekly presentations at the most universally friendly time we can find. They’ll be in the morning (9 am) for those in the PST timezone, at midday for those on EST time, and throughout the evening for all our European folks. In general, the live presentations will take place on Thursdays for the duration of the course.

Will I get recordings from the live weekly presentations?

100%. We’ll upload the presentation recording and slide deck into your dashboard a day or two after the session and then they’ll be yours to refer back to as often as you like, for as long as you like.

How long will the Product Marketing Leadership Accelerator take to complete?

Eight weeks. After that, the weekly presentations, coursework, and exams will come to an end; however, you’ll have access to all the materials to learn from for life. The alumni channel will be an eternal resource too, so you can stay in touch with and continue learning from your leadership program peers.

How different are these materials from those in the PMA membership plan?

In short, very. You’ll not find the content in our curriculum or fireside chats anywhere else. The same applies to the live presentations - these will be delivered live on the day and will be 100% exclusive to you and your fellow learners. Our Leadership Accelerator program is the only place you can tap into these materials.

I'd love to get a few PMM leaders certified, do you have any discounts on offer?

Yep! All our team packages are bespoke to make sure they’re tailored towards what you’re after, but if you drop Matt a line onm.booth@pmmalliance.com and let him know what you want, he’ll put a personalized package together for you.
