The Product Marketing Certification Journey

Core sets you up with all the essentials. Masters goes into incredible depth on each of those essentials covered in Core. Leadership sets you up to build, scale, and strategize at the highest level.

However, if you want to dip your toe into a handful of the Masters before you embark on Core, that’s A-okay with us.

Now, let’s dive deeper into each of the categories to understand better who they’re for, and what you’ll get out of them.

Understand the A-Z of product marketing

Product Marketing Certified: Core

From research to optimization, Product Marketing Certified: Core explores the fundamentals of the PMM craft and with PMMC in your pocket, you’ll have a richer understanding of the what, why, and how of every product marketing principle.

96% of participants have said they'd recommend the certification to others. What's more, 31% of product marketers with ambitions of developing their careers felt they could lead projects more successfully after having completed the course, while 31% felt more confident in their role once equipped with their newfound knowledge.

It covers everything from research to OKRs, pricing to positioning, and Jobs-to-be-Done, to optimization, messaging, and Go-to-Market.

Whether you’re new to the industry or a seasoned PMM, B2B or B2C, physical or SaaS, by the end of this course, you’ll have all the knowledge and tools you need to effectively and successfully attract and retain more customers.

Perhaps you're a would-be PMM harboring ambitions of transitioning into the industry. Well, 43% of those looking to move into product marketing did so following 0-3 months of the course - not bad, right? 😏

Who’s it for?

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 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.

Safe to say, Gabriele Dane, Product Marketing Manager at Amazon, is a fan of Core:

"This course is everything a product marketer needs to navigate our incredibly cross-functional and rapidly evolving discipline. It explores the unique role of PMM in a way that has simply not been done before."
