The course is very well-tailored. Specially the last part on how to prepare for the TPM interview. I found it very accurate because interviews in MMAANG have one round for behavioural bar-raiser rounds.

I left this rating based on my overall experience, considering the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of the content in meeting expectations.

Yes, Gerard is mentioning items like politics that are generally not covered in project management classes but are a reality for TPMs.

Good afternoon, esteemed trainers of the Technical Program Management (TPM) course, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the excellence in both the approach and delivery of the course. The learning experience was extremely enriching and has significantly contributed to my professional development. I would also like to suggest that, in future communications or promotional materials, the most concise and essential parts of the course, as well as its main practical strengths, be highlighted. Emphasising these aspects could attract more students and professionals interested in the programme, demonstrating its applicability and value. Once again, I thank you for your dedication and the high quality of the training. Kind regards, Manuel Miguel Gamboa José

My Expectations was to cover TPM role and responsibilities under Product base not targeted to FANG jobs only but overall it is good course and reference material.
By Kishore Polamreddy on 11/20/2025
Moving from a Project Management role to a Program management role, this put a structure on how I can progress to the TPM. It also highlighted steps to move to a higher role from having years of experience being a project manager.

It was ok. I'm a program director at IBM. Most of the information was fairly redundant to my role. It gave a good overview but I'm not confident it gave me much information on how to land the next role.

Good Overview of the career path as a TPM
And 1 good point for my self reflection - Where you really stand now, and what is your domain and how depth you know about it..
