Product Bootcamp FAQ
The bootcamp is best suited for aspiring Product Managers who'd like to ship a real product that they can call their own.
The program is beginner-friendly, although we've seen the best results from students who already have a solid theoretical PM foundation or have had 1-2 years of leadership or professional experience. You are someone who is interested in gaining hands-on, real-work product-building experience working with designers and developers.
The bootcamp is a mix of live, pre-scheduled sessions, as well as online content you can work on on your own or together with your team.
There will be weekly submissions that will require you to collaborate with your designer and developers. Your progress will be monitored by a Product Mentor who shall sync with you regularly on a 1:1 basis. If your team is fully on track, you will complete the program with an online product pack and a working product.
The bootcamp requires 10-15 hours of async and collaborative work weekly. This number can change depending on the complexity of the product you'll be building with your team.
After enrollment, you'll be asked to complete a team match survey detailing your current skill level, time availabilities, personality, fields of interests, and commitment among others.
You will generally end up in a fully remote team of 1 mentor, 1 product manager, 1 product designer, and 2 software developers. All of your team members are vetted junior technologists, keen to learn and be part of the journey with you.
We do not guarantee any work placement after completing the program. However, 8 out of 10 PMs who complete the PM Bootcamp land a Product role within 180 days post-graduation. You can now find Co.Lab alum in PM roles at places like Google, Shopify, Microsoft and more.
Co.Lab provides exclusive content on interviewing tips, as well as perks for other dedicated career prep services. In the community, there are also informal resume review and mock interview sessions hosted by current PMs and PM alumni.

In addition to that, your Mentor during Co.Lab is meant to help provide you with resources, references, and career discussions. You can also leverage the community reach for you to connect and network with industry professionals. Multiple mentors have proceeded to hire PMs directly from the program because they are able to witness how you solve problems. However, it's up to you to network accordingly and perform well so that you are in a position to reap the benefits if a mentor is currently hiring.
