Transitioning to and growing a new career, especially one as demanding as a Product Management career, is challenging.
Here are just some of the questions that may come to your mind:
What do I need to get started as a Product Manager?
Do I need a product certification to get into Product Management?
Is an MBA required to become a PM?
What skills do I need to transition to a Product role?
Do I have to learn how to code to transition to Product?
What projects can I join to learn product management?
Everyone says to build a product to get skills. But I don't even know where to start!
How do I make my application stand out and get hired?
How do I test my business ideas quickly, without hiring a CTO and technical team?
Sounds familiar?
I've also been there when I walked my way to a Product Manager role from being an IT and management consultant.
Hi, I'm Anna - Founder and Head of Product at Futureversity - an Edutech platform helping people advance their product management skills.
Before starting FutureVersity, I was a Product Director of a series B AI startup based in Singapore, where I relocated six years back to do an MBA program.
In my role, I built the product function from scratch and launched an alpha version of the no-code platform as a service for non-tech people to create AI applications with minimum effort and cost.
I'm also a Product Management mentor who helped over 20 000 (and counting!) students and mentees to move to Product Management from various backgrounds, including Consulting, Engineering, Design, Operations, Finance, and more, or start their own ventures.
After working 10+ years in Product and mentoring aspiring Product Managers and Entrepreneurs, I learned that lack of relevant product experience is the biggest obstacle to starting in Product Management. That's why I decided to develop this course to help you solve this challenge.
I invite you on a journey to create your Product, from idea to launch, as your educational side project by following along the structured curriculum of the course. And unlike the other programs where instructors only teach things and provide recommendations, I'll work hand in hand with you. I'll be creating my brand new Product, following the program with you, and asking for your early product feedback to decide on the next product directions.
You will get as close to building a Product as you possibly can after enrolling in the course.
And you don't need to learn how to code to start - we will use no-code software development tools to create a functional Product in a matter of days or weeks. These tools allow you to create working software without necessarily knowing how to write code in a traditional software engineering sense. Creating products with no code will not only let you test your product ideas faster but also strengthen your first or next application for a Product Manager role and make you stand out from other candidates.
In addition, you will also get the following resources when you enroll in the course:
15.5+ hours of lessons on Product Management, including a comprehensive overview of frameworks and methodologies that Product Managers use daily so that you are fully equipped for the role. We will cover Design Thinking, Lean, Agile and Scrum, Customer Journey Mapping, Impact Mapping, Business Model Canvas, Amazon Working Backward method, and much more.
The course also has a separate module on how to get ready for your PM interviews. Here, I'll share with you such things as what to expect from the interview process and how to prepare for the interviews, including crafting your perfect Resume, optimizing your LinkedIn profile and working on your Product Portfolio. We will also talk about how to use ChatGPT as your writing assistant when it comes to describing your transferable skills for a Product Manager role and speaking about your achievements.
100+ downloadable pdf resources with lectures summary and additional articles you can refer to so that you can quickly refresh the course content and further expand your knowledge.
Learners community where you can connect with me and the other students of the course to ask questions, give and receive support, and get an extra hit of accountability.
New course lessons and updates. As building a good product is all about continuous improvements, I will be adding new materials and resources to the course - to reflect your feedback, my new experience, and industry trends.
Certificate. Upon request, you will receive a signed Certificate of Completion from FutureVersity School for this course!

I help professionals and fresh graduates to learn digital skills, start new careers, and advance in their roles.
I started my journey in the IT industry and software product management 15 years ago by being an IT and management consultant and transitioning to a full-on startup Product Manager and Product Director. I've built products from scratch for different industries – commodities trading, logistics, natural language processing, and e-learning – and also for different markets, from Europe to Asia.
I have an MBA from the National University of Singapore and a Master's in Applied Informatics.
Before joining online education, I shared my expertise and knowledge with only a few people - my co-workers and mentees. With Udemy, I'd like to scale and productize my experience to help many more people. I place great value on keeping my lessons not only informative but also interesting and engaging. For this reason, I make sure to include enough resources, examples, and exercises for students to download and work with.
I look forward to having you in my classes!

By Huy Nguyễn Lê on 7/15/2026
This course is incredibly valuable. Building a product end-to-end really solidified my knowledge. Now that I've finished, I’d highly appreciate your guidance on a few career steps: With the product built in this course, am I ready to apply for APM/Intern roles, or should I focus on learning specific topics/certifications (like PSM) first? Most entry-level PM jobs require 1 year of experience. What is the best way to showcase the project from this course to make recruiters look past that requirement? Could you recommend any specific books, podcasts, or frameworks that personally helped shape your "Product Mindset"? Thank you for an amazing course!
By Gokul Singh Nair on 7/1/2026
The content is amazing and insightful. The part where the students are learning and trying to apply it at the same time into the course project is very unique compared to other courses. The roleplay feature helps build confidence for newer PO's like me; but I think the duration should be longer so that all the goals can be achieved. However the limited time does create a real time simulation for urgency. The tutor has covered all angles and aspects for a product owner career, specific to a very general audience that is new to Product Management.

It was much more beginner level than I was hoping. I also got confused by several lessons titled such as "Follow along to create a custom GPT" and then it was just a history of AI rather than anything actually being done.
By ADEGBESAN Titilayo Radhael on 4/22/2026
learning this course is an added advantage for me judging my present work experience, it permits me to learn how to build and develop on ideas, have a good understanding of market demand and fit. Knowing fully well what the customer pain points are and strategies on how to resolve any issues that comes up.

What I like most about Anna's PM course is how human it feels. She doesn't pretend to be some untouchable guru, just someone who really knows the craft and wants to share it. The lessons have a nice rhythm – not too slow, not rushed. I've picked up ideas I can actually use right away. Her enthusiasm is contagious too. Definitely one of the better online courses I've done.
By Birgit Rabe on 3/31/2026
This course clearly stands out because she clearly still works in the field. You can tell from the way she talks about trade-offs, politics, and tight deadlines. Nothing feels academic or detached. She gives you tools, mindset shifts, and the confidence to step up. I'm using her advice daily now and it's making a difference. Thank you Anna, this was money extremely well spent.
By Mansi Sharma on 3/23/2026
I learned a lot from this course since it even helped me build my own product for the first time. I even created a no-code prototype of my product MVP. I must say if you want to get hands-on experience to build a product from scratch this is a course you should not miss.
By Jeremiah Japhet on 2/16/2026
Quite impressive. I'm loving the course content already
By Swati Singh on 2/6/2026
The course is really helpful . Educator has explain well every topic of PM including resume making, interview cracking , etc for landing a job as PM.Quizzes , assignments ,activities , interview practices through AL makes the course truly valuable.
By Adithya Shourie Oruganti on 1/23/2026
This course builds a good foundation for people looking to transition into PM role. Theory along with actually building a product is neatly explained in the course (though the part where glide is used can be updated it is no longer a free feature to build an app using excel spreadsheet). The course also has interviews from actual people who got into PM role, which is amazing. Would recommend this course.
