Stand out in an AI-driven world

As AI transforms product development, the most valuable PMs combine AI-enabled workflows with proven product fundamentals, data fluency and strategic judgment. You'll master this integrated approach to excel where others struggle to adapt.

Master AI-enabled PM workflows

Use AI tools for research synthesis, rapid prototyping, and stakeholder communication while developing the product judgment to guide these tools effectively.

Develop data fluency with confidence

Interpret funnel metrics, learn how best to collaborate with analysts, and make evidence-based decisions without needing to code. AI amplifies your data insights, but human judgment drives strategy.

Strengthen irreplaceable human skills

Build product taste, strategic thinking, and stakeholder leadership that remain essential as AI handles more routine tasks.

Career Milestone Guarantee

Get outcomes—not just a course

Start with your coach in Week 1 and work with them for a full year from programme start. If you haven't hit your agreed milestone by Month 12, we’ll extend coaching for 6 more months, at no extra cost.*

12 months of 1:1 coaching

Work one-to-one with an expert career coach to upgrade your confidence, judgment, communication, and execution. They’ll help you:

  • Think clearly when the stakes are high
  • Craft narratives that influence stakeholders
  • Showcase proof of your skills through projects and case studies
  • Build a system that keeps working—long after Month 12

Career Milestone Guarantee

If you don’t hit your career goal within 12 months, we’ll keep working with you—extending coaching for 6 months, for free. Your milestone could be:

  • Securing a new role
  • Earning a promotion or pay raise
  • Landing paid consulting work
  • Another agreed outcome that matters to you

Career coaching was probably my highlight. I’d never had a career coach, and I initially thought it was a ‘nice-to-have’—but it was probably one of the most impactful parts of the programme. I now have the confidence, skills, and credibility to grow my career in ways I wouldn’t have imagined before.”

“I would definitely recommend this Career Accelerator in Product Management to anyone in my situation: coming from a totally different background who would like to make the most of their inner skills – like communication, adaptivity, flexibility – because product management includes all of these skills, and more.”

Donatella Lorusso

Career Accelerator graduate

“The industry input into the Career Accelerator is a key aspect of this programme, because when you look at the course content it’s evident that someone who has real-life experience in building products has had input into it and has structured it in the way that it has been. [...] Their input just makes it invaluable.”

Malavika

Career Accelerator graduate

“I would recommend this Career Accelerator to somebody who has always wanted to be a product manager but they’re not quite sure how to take that step. [ This course is ] the perfect opportunity to put skills into practice but also have the backing of a world-leading institution like King’s College to hold you accountable and give you some of that credibility that in turn gives you the confidence to go forward and present yourself as a product manager.”

Deslyn Kurankye Afoakwa

Career Accelerator graduate

“Being able to see actual household organisations being attached to the course and have the opportunity to work with them was definitely something you would not get the opportunity to do outside of the course. [ The experience ] allowed you to feel like you were working towards something – not just something theoretical but something that could have real-world impact.”
