Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the course take to complete?
The course is designed as a 6-week program, with one module per week. Each module takes 3-5 hours of study and practice. However, since it is entirely self-paced, you can move faster or slower depending on your schedule. Many candidates complete it in 2-4 weeks with focused daily study sessions of 1-2 hours.
Is this PM interview preparation course really free?
Yes, this course is 100% free. All 6 modules, practice questions, frameworks, company guides, and the AI mock interview tool are available at no cost. We believe everyone should have access to high-quality PM interview preparation, regardless of their budget.
What companies does this course prepare me for?
This course covers interview patterns and strategies for all major tech companies including Google, Meta (Facebook), Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, and top startups. Module 6 specifically focuses on company-specific preparation, with dedicated guides for each company's unique interview process and evaluation criteria.
Do I need prior product management experience to take this course?
No prior PM experience is required. The course starts with fundamentals in Module 1 and gradually builds up to advanced topics. If you are transitioning into product management from engineering, design, marketing, or another field, the structured curriculum will help you build the knowledge and confidence you need.
How should I use the AI mock interview tool?
The AI mock interview coach in Module 6 supports both voice and chat modes. Start with chat mode to get comfortable with the question format and framework application. Once you feel confident, switch to voice mode to simulate real interview conditions. Aim for at least 5-10 mock sessions before your actual interviews, covering different question types each time.
What if I only have 2 weeks to prepare for my PM interview?
If you are short on time, focus on Modules 1 and 2 first (fundamentals and behavioral questions, as these appear in every interview). Then skim Module 3 for product sense frameworks and jump to Module 6 for company-specific prep and mock interviews. Prioritize practicing with the AI mock interview tool daily to build muscle memory for structured responses.
Can I use this course to prepare for senior PM or director-level interviews?
Yes. While the course covers foundational PM interview skills, the frameworks and strategies apply at all levels. For senior and director roles, pay special attention to Module 5 (Case Studies & Strategy) and our bonus resource on Senior PM Interview Questions, which covers leadership, organizational impact, and strategic thinking questions common at higher levels.
How is this different from paid PM interview coaching?
This course provides the same structured curriculum and frameworks taught in paid coaching programs. The main difference is that paid coaching typically includes one-on-one feedback from an experienced PM. Our AI mock interview tool bridges that gap by providing real-time feedback on your responses. For most candidates, the combination of this free course and AI practice is sufficient to prepare effectively.
