What Fellows say, in their own words.

Completed this AI certification and it was exceptional. Built real RAG systems and AI agents with hands-on Capstone project. Highlights: - Miqdad Live Sessions: The Q&A sessions with Miqdad were absolutely outstanding - his expertise and real-time problem-solving made complex concepts click - Practical Focus: Built working prototypes, not just theory - AI-Native Approach: Perfect for anyone building AI products from scratch.

Structured, self-driven, and academic. The networking opportunities were helpful and interesting.

Good faculty, real life AI product experiences shared, capstone project was amazing with lots of learning.

Fair warning: This course will ruin your ability to tolerate vague AI product specs ever again. Side effects may include: unsolicited opinions about evaluation frameworks, strong feelings about RAG architecture, and an irresistible urge to ask “but how are we measuring success?” Worth every penny. Would recommend to anyone who wants to actually build AI products instead of just talking about them at happy hours.

I loved this course — and I don’t say that lightly. There’s a lot of AI noise out there right now. Everyone’s yelling. Everyone’s selling magic. This course actually slows you down and makes you think. The content is sharp, practical, and grounded in reality. You’re not just collecting buzzwords — you’re working through real scenarios, making product decisions, and building the kind of judgment that actually matters when the hype fades and the roadmap shows up. You can feel Miqdad Jaffer’s real-world experience in every corner of the course. It’s not theoretical. It’s not preachy. It feels like getting straight talk from someone who’s been in the arena and isn’t wasting your time. What really got me was the depth. Every layer reveals another insight — a better question, a smarter lens, a quiet “oh damn, that’s good” moment. It’s not fast food learning. It’s the kind of thinking that stays with you on your walk, your commute, your next product debate. If you want substance over sparkle, clarity over chaos, and real skill over hype — take this course. Highly recommend.

The course content was engaging, practical, and something that every PM can use in their daily life. Every PM should know how AI works and how you can harness for the benefit of your company and career and this course does exactly that.

This course is a great way to translate solid foundations of PM in the AI era.

Without much prior exposure to Product Faculty, I was cautious about assessing the quality of a course on AI, especially as it's become quite a buzz word. After completing this certification, I was extremely impressed. It is an excellent course and am very glad I took it. There were roughly 800 students from all over the world, and most had some experience building AI products, so the quality of the questions and the breakouts was very high. I have been really unsure how much AI will / should feature into what I do, and I feel like this course was great at putting it in tangible terms. It also made me feel more comfortable with the idea of being a Product person in the age of AI, because in someways, our jobs are more important than ever. I have already highly recommended this course to multiple colleagues, and there is a substantial group that will joining the Jan 2026 cohort based on the strength of that recommendation.

I recently completed the AI Product Management Certification course led by Miqdad from OpenAI, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Miqdad’s teaching style is a perfect blend of clarity, structure, and real-world insight. He breaks down complex AI and machine learning concepts into digestible pieces while always tying them back to practical product decision-making. Instead of just theory, the course focuses on how to actually build AI products—from evaluating data readiness, to designing user-centric AI interactions, to managing model behavior, iteration cycles, and risk.

It perfectly aligned with my career goals. Whether you are a beginner or at a director level, it is a great course to invest in. While technology is leaps ahead now, what you learn here makes you on par with the leap the world is taking. The best part is the learning method used; it is super practical. You can't be passive even if you want to, it is that engaging.

Excellent, practical certification. The course goes deep into real AI product concepts, not just surface-level hype. Miqdad Jaffer explains complex topics clearly and with strong product thinking. The AI capstone project was extremely helpful—it pushed me to apply the concepts in a realistic, hands-on way. Highly recommended for PMs working with or building AI products.

I went into this course a bit skeptical because most AI courses end up being either too high-level or too tool-y. This one surprised me in a good way. What I liked is that it didn’t try to sell AI as magic. It constantly pulled the conversation back to basics: is this actually a problem worth solving, will users trust this, and what breaks when things go wrong. That framing alone changed how I now think about scoping AI features at work. The content helped me become more opinionated. I now feel clearer about when not to use AI, when a simple approach is enough, and when things can get messy fast if you don’t think through edge cases. That clarity is rare and very useful. Miqdad’s teaching style is also a big plus. It feels grounded in real experience, not influencer energy. A lot of “this is how it actually plays out in teams” moments, which made the course easy to relate to. Overall, it didn’t just give me information. It changed how I evaluate AI ideas and how confidently I push back on bad ones. That alone made it worth it.

Enjoyed the course as it has a good balance between learning AI concepts and hands-on real-world application. The course content flows well and is actionable, making complex AI concepts easy to apply in product decision-making. Additionally, it encouraged a lot of collaboration among PMs and builders from different industries which I found valuable. The course is a good fit for product managers who want to apply AI within their companies or for those having their own startups.

Probably one of the most fun and engaging courses I’ve ever taken. Really loved the practical aspect and the resources were very high quality. Miqdad was able to break down complex topics on the fly with great clarity. Cannot wait to use my learnings to continue building!

It is a good course to change the dimension of the thought process for building AI products. Concepts are good and mostly generically applicable.

Insightful practical value for money

With the emergence of GenAI, the existing approaches to product management seemed antiquated and I needed to find a more productive approach to delivering products that leveraged the new technology in our processes and in our delivered services. In researching learning resources to update my skills, Product Faculty and Maven offered the most affordable and progressive alternative. After completing their cohort, their framework and approach to leveraging the GenAI were easy to grasp and apply immediately in my current role. I especially liked the capstone project which gave everyone in the cohort the opportunity to apply their newly learned skills immediately. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and practical in his approach to teaching and entertaining the classes questions. I strongly recommend anyone looking to update their product management skills in this new era of AI take this class.

This course is very helpful for folks who are already product managers. I feel that the course material is a good introduction to get people going in the right direction and give product managers enough to be successful in running AI product development on top of their existing software development efforts. Participating in the capstone and completing it was very rewarding. I felt that the course did not have enough for me to build the project from end to end but just enough to get me going. If you intend to do the work I would recommend setting aside a significant amount of time and also work diligently to reduce scope to something that can work then build off that foundation.

This course is solid if you already operate at leadership level and need sharper thinking around AI strategy, not tools. It focuses on framing decisions, trade-offs, and defensibility in a world where models are increasingly commoditized, which is where most teams are actually stuck. It’s not for beginners, and it won’t teach you how to “build with AI”. What it does very well is force clearer thinking about where AI genuinely creates leverage, vs. where it’s just expensive noise. Worth it if you’re responsible for strategy and outcomes, not execution checklists.

The AI Product Strategy Certificate for Leaders from Maven had a significant impact on how I approach AI as a product leader and product strategy as a whole. The materials were exceptionally high-quality, deep, and thorough, with a strong focus on practical, real-world application rather than theory. I was specifically looking for actionable frameworks I could use immediately, and this program stands out as the most relevant and in-depth program I’ve taken in my PM career.

This is the second course I’ve taken through Product Faculty & I’m thrilled to report that this school continues to provide exceptional value. The class exceeded my expectations by going into far more depth than I anticipated, which made the learning experience all the more rewarding. What really stood out was how the course taught me to approach AI products with thoroughness, discernment, & intentionality - rather than getting caught up in FOMO or chasing every shiny new object that comes along. This shift in mindset alone was worth the investment. The exercises were genuinely thought-provoking & opened the door to interesting perspectives I hadn’t considered before. Even better, I walked away with lessons I can immediately apply to my work, making this one of those rare courses where the value is both conceptual & practical. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to develop a more strategic & grounded approach to AI.

This course was genuinely outstanding. It struck the rare balance between rigorous theory and practical application, making complex ideas not only understandable but immediately useful. The structure was clear, the progression was logical, and each module built real intuition rather than just surface-level knowledge.

An outstanding course with a strong focus on practical, real-world application. The content is clear, direct, and highly actionable, making complex AI concepts easy to apply in product decision-making. The quality of the discussions and the connections built throughout the program were excellent, adding significant value beyond the curriculum itself. Highly recommended for product managers and leaders looking to build hands-on expertise in AI-powered products.
