Product Management Certification Reviews

Allen W.
Business Strategy
"While I started the program with zero experience, I realized learning the fundamental concepts isn't as insurmountable as I initially expected as long as I put in the effort to learn! This program is the one-stop-shop for all technical product management and software development resources."
Alexa S.
Product Manager
"This program allows me to finally gain a more holistic understanding of the back-end mechanics that are involved when managing software development - resulting in more strategic conversations with technical stakeholders and empowering more informed decision making. The architecture overview was helpful in understanding how all of these processes interact with one another."
Max W.
Technical Product Manager
"My biggest aha moment was API requests and Javascript overview. It allowed things that didn't make sense on a day to day at my job now click. It is a great way to fill in the gaps if you are already a PM."

F.A.Q

What is Product HQ?
Product HQ is an independent PM community and certification center that consists of some of the best established and upcoming product managers from around the world.
PHQ hosts product management certifications, which help candidates develop a high-level understanding of PM fundamentals and prepares them for a career in product management.
The community has been extensively covered in Forbes, Product Hunt, Huffington Post, AlphaUX, Mattermark, and various other major publications. PHQ also stands out as one of the top PM communities in the world, with global sponsors including Facebook, TechCrunch, Hired, SaaStr, Notion, Amplitude, and more.
What are product management certifications?
Product management certifications are credentials given to candidates who successfully complete a product management course with the knowledge of what product management is, the prime principles and practices of product management, and their implementation.
Unfortunately, there was a clear lack of bona fide certification in the product management sphere, especially when it came to providing vocational training on how to operate as a modern product manager.
To address this issue, Product HQ features the PHQ Certifications which provide all the theoretical PM knowledge and practical knowledge you need, including teaching software product roadmap development and strategic management techniques.
How much does a product manager make in a year?
According to an estimate by Glassdoor, the average yearly salary of a product manager is $108,992.
The actual PM professional salary may differ from the average estimate above, based on factors such as the specific salary package at a company, the candidate’s level of experience, and their academic qualifications.
PM professionals with a product management certificate such as PHQ's PM Certification usually have a greater chance to reach or exceed the national average salary.
What is the PHQ PM Certification?
The PM Certification by Product HQ is a certification course that teaches PM fundamentals and takes candidates through the process of becoming professional product managers.
In this course, you will learn about the roles that make up product management and the responsibilities that come with them. You will also find out about the skills a modern PM professional needs to succeed in the industry, as well as how to develop, launch, and market a successful product.
Who are the product manager certification courses ideal for?
The PHQ Product Management Certification is perfect for anyone looking to get into the diverse technical world of product management.
The course is for you if:
⚬ You can spend 30 minutes to an hour every day for a month.
⚬ You have a degree in general management and are looking to build a career in PM.
⚬ You are currently serving in a management role and want to transition into product management.
⚬ You are starting out in a tech career and want to know if a PM role suits you.
⚬ You are generally curious about the role of a PM and want to explore it as a viable career alternative.
Product HQ is the ideal community to adhere to when taking your PM certification course. Not only can you gain tons of knowledge from community members, but also some invaluable insights from industry experts.
How long does it take to complete PHQ certification courses?
The certification courses take about a month to complete. They require candidates to spend 1 - 2 hours every day to complete. This daily commitment is to complete each course itself, as well as the project capstones.
Who is eligible to apply for the PHQ certification courses?
None of the PHQ courses have eligibility requirements or prerequisites. You don’t need to have product management experience or technical background in order to take the courses either. Some understanding of the subject is recommended. However, it is not mandatory and candidates completely new to the subject are encouraged to apply.
How can I show my certificate/proof of course completion?
Upon completing the Product Management Certification Courses, you will receive a digital badge and an e-certificate. You can download both e-documents and showcase them on your website, or share them with colleagues, managers, and, in case you’re in a recruiting position, new PM candidates.
How can my managers and/or employers verify my certification status?
Upon receiving the certification, you will be given a unique URL that leads to a PHQ verification source. You can share this URL with any and all concerned parties (the LinkedIn community, current or future employers, etc.).
What are technical product management certifications?
Technical product management certifications are credentials given to candidates who successfully complete a technical product management course. This certification is given to individuals who gained the knowledge of what technical product management is, what are its best practices, and what is involved in a product launch.
How much does a technical product manager make in a year?
According to ZipRecruiter, the average yearly salary of a product manager is $114,436. This number varies based on a candidate’s level of experience, certifications, role responsibilities, and company size. Technical product managers with credible certifications, such as the one provided after completion of the Technical PM Certification course, tend to increase their chances to match or exceed the national average.
What is the Technical PM Certification?
The Technical PM Certification by Product HQ is a certification given to individuals who successfully accomplish the Technical PM course. The course is taught by Dhaval Bhatt, who has been perfecting technical product management for over 10 years. The course gathers over 140 lectures compiled in 6 hours of content and it includes 5+ downloadable Tech PM templates and exclusive interviews.

Who is the Technical PM Certification course ideal for?
The Technical Product Manager Certification was created for aspiring technical product managers or people who want to learn technical skills. It is ideal for individuals looking to transition into a TPM role - whether you have a technical background or you don’t.
What is the best product manager certification?
