Inside a lesson

A messy inbox becomes a clear decision.

Try a miniature version of your first Monday as a PM. Read the evidence, challenge an AI shortcut, and leave with a memo you can explain.

Three reviews. Two different problems.

A learner cannot verify an account. Another gets logged out mid-session. A third asks for dark mode. Keep the original words before you group anything.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is the whole course really free?
Yes. All six levels, 43 chapters, 141 lessons, every dataset and template. No card, no trial, no locked chapters. You pay only if you want your badge verified and access to the community.
Why do I have to sign in if it is free?
So your progress is saved, your builds stay attached to your account, and you can pick up on another device. Nothing is charged and nothing is emailed to you unless you ask.
Why is only Level 1 open?
Because the levels build on each other. Level 4 asks you to deploy a product, which assumes the spec you wrote in Level 3, which assumes the research from Level 2. Finish a level and the next one opens.
What exactly does the 119 dollars buy?
One payment, for life. Your capstones reviewed by a practising PM and a verified badge for each level you pass, plus the closed community: job referrals, feedback on your builds before you ship them, live teardowns and office hours.
Do I need to be able to code?
No. Level 4 teaches you to build and deploy a working product with AI tooling, starting from nothing. You will read code and understand it. You will not be writing algorithms.
How long does it take?
The lessons are about 148 hours. The builds are where the time goes, so most people take four to six months at a few hours a week. Nothing expires and there are no cohort dates.

Lesson one takes 55 minutes and ends with a memo you can show someone.
