"I loved the in-person version of the course. I bought the course online first and it was really dry and hard to get through. Switching to in-person had so many more benefits and excelerated my learning."

Ask questions and get advice with PMM-GPT - the ultimate AI sidekick for ambitious product marketers looking to fast-track their growth with community-backed insights.

FAQS

Is Product Marketing Certified: Core accredited?

Yep, it sure is. As well as getting the seal of approval from orgs like HubSpot, Facebook, TikTok, Salesforce, Sky, and more, Product Marketing Certified: Core is accredited by both the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Who's Product Marketing Certified: Core for?

Anyone with an interest in product marketing. If you’re looking to transition into the industry, it’ll arm you with that all-important foundational layer of intel to hit the ground running. If you’re relatively new to product marketing, it’ll up-skill you in areas you might not have quite so much practical experience in. If you’re a product marketing veteran, it’s a great refresher on current trends and potential new practices. And for everyone, it’s an awesome opportunity to learn from senior-level PMMs from some of the world’s biggest businesses.

How do the online sessions actually run?

Each session will be a mix of your instructor going through the course content, you and your classmates asking questions (and getting answers!), practical tasks, and setting and going through coursework assignments.

Is the homework mandatory?

It's not mandatory, but we'd highly recommend getting stuck in. These live and online sessions have been designed to bring even more interactivity to Product Marketing Certified: Core, and give you plenty of actionable takeaways. The more you put in, the more you get out, so we strongly encourage everyone to complete any coursework and get involved with the Q&As when they're happening.

What happens if I can't make one of my weekly sessions?

If you pick a program that fits your schedule, hopefully this won't happen. However, we totally understand that things sometimes come up, so we record all our sessions. That way, if you're unable to attend one week, you can still get access to all the content and Q&As, and find out about any coursework.

Do I have to turn my camera on for the sessions?

You don't have to. However, we do recommend it. Being able to see everyone will help you and everyone else replicate that in-person classroom environment, and provide your instructor with more visual cues. That said, we don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable, so if you don't want your camera on, please don't feel pressured!

Does this course cover everything I need to know to be a product marketer?

This course is pretty darn comprehensive, if we do say so ourselves. From research through to optimization it covers the A to Z. However, as there are so many facets to product marketing, it’s very much more focused on the essentials.

I’d love to get my whole team certified – do you offer any discounts?

Yep! Drop Matt a line on m.booth@pmmalliance.com and let him know what you want, and he'll put a personalized package together for you. FYI, these don’t just have to be online and live either, they can be online + on demand or live + in-person, too.

I noticed course subscribers qualify for a discount on PMA Membership plans – what do they include?

That’s right! Anyone who takes part in the Product Marketing Certified Core program will be eligible for a discount on our membership plans – which include exclusive content, even more templates and frameworks, mentors, OnDemand videos, and more. For more details about what’s included within the subscriptions head here.

What happens if I don’t pass the course exams?

If you fail the first time around you'll be given the option to retake the exam. If you fail the second attempt, unfortunately, it means you won’t get the certificate. However, all’s not lost – you’ll have still learned lots and you’ll be given access to the course materials for life, so you can brush up on the bits you slipped up on forevermore.
