Yes! You receive an official CPD- and CIM-accredited Product Marketing Certified: Core certification upon passing all exams.
Yup! Contact us for information on special team rates.
That’s up to you! We understand that everyone has unique schedules and learning speeds, so we offer a 100% OnDemand course, allowing you to learn at your own pace.
Alternatively, you can opt for a live and online part-time course so your team can spread out its learning over four structured weeks. Or, you can book one intensive day’s learning to get your whole team up to speed in one fell swoop! You can even do it in person if you prefer! If you drop Tom a line on t.madden@pmmalliance.com and let him know what you want, he’ll put a personalized package together for you.
There is about two solid days’ worth of content, but how long it takes to complete will vary depending on your pace. We’ve created the course in a way that’s easy for you to chip away at as and when you want, and each module can be completed in total isolation.
No, but you will qualify for a discounted PMA membership plan, which includes access to mentorships!
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.
