Most people think product roles are reserved for tech giants or people with fancy degrees.
But what if we told you that regular people, students, career switchers, and curious minds just spent two weeks learning Product Management and Product Marketing?
And they didn’t pay a dime.
That’s exactly what went down at the Creaitz Product School.
For two weeks straight, Monday through Friday, we gathered online at 4 PM WAT (Product Management on YouTube) and 5 PM WAT (Product Marketing on Telegram) to break down what it really takes to build, position, and market products that people actually want.
It wasn’t your typical “watch and forget” kind of training.
People showed up. They learned, they submitted assignments, and they built real projects. And yes, they walked away with certificates that proved they did the work.
But more than that? They left with clarity.
Now, let’s talk about how it all happened.
The Setup: Three Tracks, Two Weeks, One Goal
We gave participants options.
You could choose Product Management if you wanted to learn how to define strategy, build roadmaps, and manage teams.
Or maybe Product Marketing was your thing, where you’d learn positioning, go-to-market strategy, and growth planning.
And if you were feeling ambitious? You could take more than one track.
Some people did exactly that.
We had Anyaebosi Peter leading Product Management and Lade Falobi handling Product Marketing. Both brought real-world experience, not just theory. They didn’t just teach concepts; they walked participants through actual scenarios, challenges, and decisions that product people face every single day.
From day one, the vibe was different. This wasn’t going to be one of those trainings where you nod along and forget everything by next week.
Nope.
We made sure of that with daily assignments, live practicals, and a capstone project that pushed everyone to apply what they were learning in real time.
What Really Went Down at the Creaitz Product School
Two weeks might sound short, but when you’re learning something this hands-on, it feels like a whole semester compressed into bite-sized, power-packed sessions.
The Product Management track kicked off on Telegram in the first week, then was moved to YouTube in the second week, so our tutor could share his screen and walk everyone through the practicals step by step.
We’re talking roadmaps, user stories, prioritization frameworks, and everything in between.
It wasn’t just “here’s what a product manager does.” It was “here’s how you actually do it.”
Meanwhile, the Product Marketing sessions stayed on Telegram, where Lade broke down positioning, messaging, customer personas, and how to launch a product in a way that makes people care.
The best part? Participants weren’t just sitting there taking notes. They were asking questions, sharing ideas, and getting real-time feedback.
And then came the assignments.
Every single day, there was something to submit. These assignments were designed to make sure you actually understood what was taught. If you couldn’t apply it, you didn’t get it. Simple as that.
By the end of the two weeks, participants had worked on capstone projects that they could add straight to their portfolios. Real work. Real results.
The People Made It Real
You can have the best tutors and the best curriculum, but if the people showing up aren’t locked in, none of it matters.
Thankfully, that wasn’t a problem here.
Take Caleb, for example. He said the class was an eye-opening experience. Before joining, he only had a basic idea of what product management and marketing were about. But the way the tutors broke everything down made it feel real and practical. He loved how interactive the sessions were, how they discussed real-life examples, shared ideas, and saw how product decisions actually play out in the real world.
Then there’s Lovwina. She admitted she had a wonderful time during the classes. The facilitator was patient, knowledgeable, and always carried everyone along. The daily assignments and capstone project pushed her beyond her capacity, and she grew because of it.
Nasma? Well, she started her review with “Wahala! 😂” and that pretty much sums up the energy. She called it a total game-changer. She learned about the product lifecycle, how to craft a killer product strategy, and the art of storytelling in product marketing. For her, the biggest takeaway was the emphasis on customer-centricity and data-driven decision-making. It’s not just about building a product; it’s about solving real problems for real people.
Abdulazeez said it was a BLAST. He learned to do things he couldn’t imagine, things he’d never thought of doing, and it gave him the morale to keep going. He thanked the Creaitz admins and tutors for giving their time to change lives.
And Noah? He called himself a happy and proud student who was impacted by knowledge worth thousands of dollars, taught by first-class instructors.
These aren’t just nice words. These are real people who showed up, did the work, and left changed and impacted.
The Certificates (And What They Mean)
After two weeks of learning, assignments, and projects, it was time to recognize the people who put in the effort.
We didn’t just hand out certificates to everyone who registered.
You had to earn it.
To qualify, you needed to attend at least 8 classes for one course or 16 classes if you took both tracks. You also had to submit a minimum of 5 assignments per course.
For those who met the requirements? Congratulations. You now have an official document that backs up your new skills.
And we know how much that matters. It’s one thing to say you learned something. It’s another thing entirely to have proof that you showed up, did the work, and completed the program.
Your next opportunity just got a little closer.
For Those Who Missed It
We get it. Life happens. Maybe you registered but couldn’t keep up. Maybe you saw the announcement too late. Or you just weren’t ready.
No worries.
All the recordings of the Creaitz Product School are saved in the Creaitz Telegram resources channel. You can still catch up, watch the sessions, and learn at your own pace.
