We designed this course for students who have some demonstrated interest and/or experience in the tech sector. If you have no experience in tech, completion of our Technology Career Acceleration Program is a prerequisite to qualify for this program. This course is a great fit for anyone who has experience in sales, operations, marketing, or customer support in tech and wants to transition into a product role. Founders and former entrepreneurs are encouraged to apply.

School16 offers flexible payment options and opportunities to learn risk-free. The full tuition for the Advanced Concentration: Product Management course is $3500.

If you're currently unemployed and you do not receive a scholarship, you also have the option of deferring payment until you get a job. If you are currently employed, you may be able to expense your tuition through your employer. You can email us at info@school16.co to learn more about expensing School16 tuition through an employer.

Our course not only teaches you the skills that you'll need for any first-time product management role—but the curriculum also provides the mentorship necessary to find the right industry and role you'd like to work in.

For those who have not completed this program, you may still be able to place into the advanced course if you have some tech experience (even if limited), and/or if you've dabbled in developing a product (even if it's on your own, on a personal website, app, or another project). Other students will be admitted on a case-by-case basis based on their experience and goals. We recommend that prospective students who need additional support consider the Tech Career Accelerator Program in addition to the Advanced Concentration: Product Management course and complete them both.

There is no specific level of experience necessary for a student to enroll in this class. Students at varying places in their careers will find the Advanced Concentration: Product Management course useful—including students currently enrolled in college or university with some tech experience (including internships) and/or some product experience; or those that have taken the School16 Tech Career Accelerator Program. Those already working, at any stage of their career, may also be a good fit for the program. Our admissions counselors will guide applicants towards the right program fit based on their goals, whether that is the Advanced Concentration: Product Management, another concentration, or our Tech Career Accelerator Program.

School16 students come from various industries and levels of experience. Our students have come from tech, education, nonprofits, government, even musical theater. Some are currently enrolled in college, early in their career, mid-level, or have even led successful and long careers in their respective field. Transitioning to tech, including into Product roles, can be a good fit for anyone, regardless of their background. If you're interested in exploring Product careers, we're here to help you.

The School16 Advanced Concentration: Product Management course comes with over 24 hours of live class time, 1:1 and small group career mentorship including assistance in finding the right Product roles, applying, and interviewing for those roles, in addition to ongoing access to the School16 network. Students also have lifetime access to all educational materials and exclusive alumni-only events.

Product is an exciting and interesting role within the tech industry that gives you the opportunity to get hands-on experience creating something that will be delivered and used by potentially hundreds to millions of people. If you're a fan of problem-solving (like the process of constantly making something better), are highly organized, and are looking for a way to be creative, strategic, and tactical, Product may be a good fit for you.
