Testimonials

"Finally! Product Managers throughout Australia have the training they need to take their game up a notch. Brainmates' Essentials program provides more than a framework for good product management. It gives you the language and tools you need to help move business initiatives ahead, bring stakeholders on the journey, and turn strategy into reality. I’d recommend the Essentials program for anyone looking to refine their skills or to make product management a proactive, essential part of any organisation."

– Jen Armstrong, CMO

"The most valuable thing about the course is the platform to utilise at times when problems arise from lack of process. It's a good reference guide. It's a worthwhile starter course for junior product managers or a refresher for mid-level product professionals."

– Jerome Ferdinands, User Experience Product Manager, eBay

"An exceptionally well run course. Nick Coster clearly has a thorough understanding of his subject matter. Importantly, he shares this knowledge and I am confident I can implement it."

– Andrew Kendrick, Global Rehabilitation Manager, Cochlear

"The course provided a best-practice framework to ensure I provide maximum value creation for the business. It identified areas of work that are not relevant for product managers. Nick Coster did an excellent job of conveying a complex topic in 3 Days."

– Craig Malins, Senior Product Manager, Gallagher Group, NZ

"Brainmates are pioneers in Australia on the Product Management front. It’s funny – I get asked regularly (on dates!) what a Product Manager is and it reminds me of the first exercise as part of their course."

– Richard Donnelly, Product Manager, Cochlear
