How do you like to work and learn?
In person, with everyone in the same room, bouncing ideas off each other and sharing their experiences in a group setting?
Live online, where you can work from the comfort of your own home (or anywhere with a decent WiFi connection, really), but still be able to chat with your colleagues and classmates in real time?
Or on demand, where you can take your time, review lessons on your schedule so you don’t have to give up large chunks of your working day to increase your skill set?
However you learn best, Pragmatic has the options for you.
Since before the pandemic, we’ve seen how important it is to offer different training options for our courses. Our own market research showed that, while people did enjoy our in-person public and private courses, they wanted more choices and flexibility in the way they learned. And so we got to work.
In late 2019, we launched our first live online course, and not long after we released Foundations On-Demand. And now that we’re able to safely offer our popular in-person training option again, we can provide you with the training options you need to best learn how to build and market products people want to buy.
And that’s not all.
Regardless of your training option choice, your learning will continue long after the class is over in our award-winning Pragmatic Alumni Community (PAC).
As an alumni, you can connect with product peers and industry leaders from around the world with your free, lifetime membership. You will learn how other alumni are applying Pragmatic tools and concepts at their companies and have access to our exclusive community to share ideas, ask questions and swap insights.
The PAC also offers you unlimited access to the entire Pragmatic library of tools and templates covered in training. It is the go-to resource for product professionals to turn theory into action.
The PAC makes it easy to take your training to the next level once class is complete.
Not sure which training option is right for you? We’ve laid out the benefits of each option so you can get a clear picture of what you’ll experience.
