Get the brochureA Career Accelerator is an intensive, part-time online programme built around one goal: getting you to where you want to be in your career, faster. Not a short course, not a degree, but a structured path to the capabilities, experience and credentials that matter right now, in a job market being transformed by AI. The King's Product Management Career Accelerator runs over six months and combines three courses with a six-week Employer Project, a certificate from King's College London and 12 months of 1:1 career coaching. It's developed by King's College London in partnership with FourthRev.
Yes. The King's Product Management Career Accelerator is designed for working professionals and takes 12–15 hours a week over six months. Scheduled holiday breaks can extend the calendar end date, but your active learning time stays at six months. Most of the learning is self-paced, with weekly deadlines to keep you on track. Each week includes a live class and a drop-in Q&A, and every session is recorded, so you can catch up when your schedule doesn't allow. Your Success Manager helps you build a study plan around your work and life.
You'll need an undergraduate degree or two years of work experience in any field. You don't need product management experience. You also need to be over 18 and proficient in English. The programme takes you from PM fundamentals in Course 1 to the strategy expected of senior product managers in Course 3, so it works whether you're new to product, changing career or already doing product work.
Yes, from before your first course starts. Two weeks of orientation help you settle in, meet your support team and plan your studies. A Success Manager keeps you on track with check-ins and practical help, and facilitators lead weekly live classes and give feedback on your assignments. A 1:1 career coach works with you towards your goal. The programme is demanding, but each course builds on the last, starting with the fundamentals. Past cohorts have included people returning to study after many years, alongside others with advanced degrees.
At the start of the programme, you agree a career milestone with your career coach, such as a new role, a promotion or pay rise, or paid consulting work. Your 1:1 coaching runs for 12 months from programme start. If you haven't reached your milestone in that time, your coaching extends by six months at no extra cost. It isn't a job guarantee. Eligibility includes completing coursework, submitting all portfolio projects, attending scheduled coaching sessions and documenting job-search activity. T&Cs apply.
