One of the best product courses I have done - extremely collaborative and highly engaging. Excellent content, awesome team of instructors and learning through your own product concept. Enjoyed the Cohort and meeting like minded people, an awesome stepping stone into my product journey

This is one of the best learning experiences I've had the privilege of being a part of. If you're already in product or starting to dip your toes into product, want to expand your learning and meet people in the community - look no further than Colab.
Nikki Home
Product Manager @ Meta
A great course for all things product. I've just recently moved into a product role and this gave me a great overview of the different parts of product, the role of the product manager, what product management isn't and generally what the expectations are for the role. It has given me more confidence that I do have the skills required, I just need to think differently and really be the voice of the customer. Learning to say No is another challenge, but I can see why that is so important.

TESTIMONIALS FROM COLAB MEMBERS
This is the second cohort I’ve done through COLAB and again it has levelled up my product career even further. I have more confidence, have a better understanding of the full lifecycle, and because of what I’ve learnt, I’m actively applying it to my current role to move the needle on how to do product more effectively.

Hear from our team.
How about having a sneak peek at what the program is going to be about from the mouth of our own instructors?
What should I expect from this cohort?
You will meet once a week for a live session with your instructors and peers to learn and apply the key real world skills that make a successful product manager. This cohort focuses on combining the teaching of key skill sets and principles with applying your learning to your own product concept.
Who should participate in this cohort?
If you are starting out in your product career or want to transition into product management, this cohort is perfect for you. No product management experience is required to join this cohort.
How can I be part of this cohort?
You can apply using the links on this page to join our Product Fundamentals Cohort. There are only 20 spots available within these cohorts.
How much time do I need to commit to the program?
At a minimum we do need you to join the three hours per week that we have sessions. We would also recommend putting aside a few more hours to work on your home work and chat with fellow cohort members on what you are learning.
What are your payment options if cost is a barrier?
We want to ensure everyone gets an opportunity to invest in their growth and participate in our cohorts. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss flexible payment options and we will ensure you can access the cohort of your choice.
Are all cohort sessions online?
Yes, we hold all our sessions online to enable access for people from different geographies. But, we also love to meet in person too and organise wider Colab coffees and drinks regularly that you can join!
Do I need to attend all of the live sessions?
We highly recommend that you attend all of the cohort sessions. Of course, sometimes life comes up and we understand if people need to miss a session. If you do, we provide recordings of each session.
How can I learn more about a cohort to see if it is right for me?
Please reach out to us if you would like to talk more about a particular cohort. We are happy to talk and help you find the one that will give you the most growth and value.
