“I loved that the course was broken up into easy-to-digest ‘chapters.’ I often would work on them between meetings or when I had some free time during the day. I began with a good foundation or understanding of Developer Marketing, but the course brought up insights and points that gave me new ideas and made me excited to see how I could implement them at the company."
Sara Zenner
Senior Product Marketing Manager
"This course should be mandatory for anyone starting in a developer-first company. It really helps to understand where to focus marketing efforts, how to get stakeholders on board and how to actually market products for developers. The contents are top-notch, from video lessons to fireside chats with industry leaders."

FAQS
The course is 100% online and self-paced. You’ll work through the modules in chronological order and be invited to take part in activities. At the end of each module, you’ll be presented with exam questions and, if you pass all these, you’ll become certified!
The course content, activities, and exams will take approximately 8 hours to complete.
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.
