Let’s be real—AI is no longer a buzzword on the product roadmap. It’s an urgent shift in how we build, scale, and deliver value. And the PMs who can navigate that shift with confidence? They’re the ones getting promoted, pulled into strategy conversations, and trusted to lead.

That’s exactly why we created the AI Product Management Certification.

This isn’t a theoretical course with a shiny badge at the end. It’s a hands-on training experience that teaches you how to apply AI where it counts: across your product strategy, workflows, and cross-functional decision-making. And once you’ve completed it, you’ll have a certification to prove it.

 

What Does Our Certification Do for You?

Credibility. Clarity. Career momentum.

We recently surveyed 200 product professionals who completed Productside certifications. Here’s what they told us:

  • 31% earned a promotion within a year
  • 22% saw a salary increase
  • 13% landed their first product role
  • 88% gained confidence in executing their role
  • 92% walked away with sharper role clarity

And if you go the instructor-led route, the advantage is even greater: 43% of those learners were promoted within 18 months, compared to 26% of self-study participants.

Now layer that on top of one of the most urgent capability gaps in product today: AI fluency.

PMs are expected to make sense of GenAI, integrate it into their product thinking, and use it to move faster. But most teams don’t know where to start. That’s what makes this certification different. It’s not about learning a tool. It’s about learning to lead in an AI-powered world.

You’ll walk away knowing how to:

  • Identify and prioritize AI opportunities with real ROI
  • Communicate AI strategies across product, design, and engineering
  • Use prompting techniques and GenAI tools to accelerate discovery, research, and delivery
  • Make smart decisions about when and how AI adds value to your users
