    Core Modules

    The Modern Product Manager

    Learners establish a foundation in the product management lifecycle, from ideation to launch, while redefining the role for the AI era. We focus on moving from task execution to outcome ownership, mastering customer understanding, and identifying where AI can be used as a primary productivity driver.

    Strategic Planning & Delivery with AI Insights

    Teams move beyond firefighting to strategic roadmap development. Learners use AI to synthesise market trends and internal data, creating robust product strategies and value management frameworks that align with long-term digital transformation goals.

    Leveraging AI for Stakeholder Alignment

    This module focuses on identifying and analysing stakeholder needs to enable effective prioritisation. Learners use AI tools to tailor communication strategies, manage conflict, and create robust alignment across the organisation, ensuring product initiatives have the necessary buy-in.

    Accelerating Discovery: AI for Problem Identification
    Learners master user-centric design by putting the user at the centre of the discovery process. We teach skills in user research and problem-solving methodologies, using AI to accelerate the identification of user pain points and the synthesis of vast amounts of qualitative feedback.
    AI for Efficient Solution Design & Implementation

    Focusing on the transition from problem to solution, learners develop skills in prototyping and iterative development. We explore how AI can speed up the creation of MVPs and design workflows, ensuring product managers can test assumptions and deliver value faster.

    Intelligent Insights: Making Data-Driven Choices with AI
    Data is the engine of digital transformation. Learners gain a comprehensive understanding of how to analyse, visualise, and share findings. We emphasise using AI to uncover deep insights from complex datasets to inform strategic product pivots and growth.
    Navigating Governance & Risk in the AI Workplace

    Responsible AI implementation is critical. This module covers the ethical considerations of AI, risk management frameworks, and governance protocols. Learners gain the knowledge to implement AI products that are compliant, ethical, and secure.

    Optimising Live Product Management with AI
    The journey doesn't end at launch. Learners discover how to measure performance and maintain a customer-first approach in a live environment. We explore using AI for performance monitoring and scaling products to meet evolving market demands.

    Elective eLearning Modules

    At the end of the apprenticeship, learners choose one of three career-focused electives designed to support their next step into leadership or specialised technical roles.

    Introduction to Solutions Architecture

    Designed for product managers who want to bridge the gap between business requirements and technical systems. This elective provides a foundation in architectural patterns, system design, and how to structure scalable digital solutions.

    Preparing to Lead and Manage in the Product World

    A leadership-focused elective for those transitioning from individual contributor roles to management. It covers the soft skills and strategic frameworks required to lead product teams, mentor talent, and drive department-wide product culture.

    FAQs

    What delivery options do you offer?

    We tailor our delivery to your workforce needs. This ranges from independent, immersive e-learning supported by EDUKATE.AI through to tailored bootcamps, to our structured apprenticeship programmes.

    Are you able to tailor the programme to the organisation and sector?

    Yes. We work with our clients to contextualise our programmes to their organisation and sectors they operate in. We do this through bespoke assignments and guest lectures from industry experts. We also work with a range of partners to create bespoke programmes for sectors, such as health and journalism.

    What is the Apprenticeship Levy?

    The UK government introduced the Apprenticeship Levy scheme in April 2017 as a way to drive investment in strengthening the country’s skills base. All organisations with annual staff costs of over £3m have to pay 0.5% of their salary bill into a ring-fenced apprenticeship levy pot. The money is collected monthly via PAYE and can only be used for training on approved apprenticeship schemes (such as this AI Product Manager programme).

    Organisations must currently forfeit any levy funding left unspent for 24 months. Please note: as of August, the expiry period for unspent levy funding will reduce from 24 months to 12 months. The handling of unspent levy is subject to further change; please speak with our specialists for the latest updates.
