Why this matters now

A Claude demo takes an afternoon. A Claude system takes an architect.

Inside a company, Claude has to reach the right data, call the right systems, respect who may see what, and leave a record of what it did.

Most teams stop at a chat window or a single prompt. The value is in agents that work across tools, run on their own, and hand off to people at the right moment.

That is architecture work. Choosing what runs where, what the agent may touch, how it is tested, and what it costs.

This cohort teaches the patterns, then has you build one end to end on a workflow from your own organization.

Claude, wired into the systems, data and controls your company already runs on.

Questions

Is everything taught live?

The Fellowship is built around live, cohort-based learning. You learn directly from the named practitioners, ask questions, complete applied work, and receive the latest insights from people working at the frontier.

Advanced Product Management is included as an on-demand program for strengthening timeless product fundamentals.

How much time will I need each week?

Most cohorts are designed for busy working professionals and require only a few hours per week. The exact commitment varies by program. You'll get the most value by attending live, completing the exercises, and making time for your capstone.

What if I miss a live session?

Attend live whenever possible because the discussions, feedback, and accountability are important parts of the experience.

However, missing an occasional session won't ruin your progress. You can also retake eligible cohorts during your active membership.

Can I retake a cohort?

Yes. You can retake eligible cohorts at no additional cost while your membership remains active. This allows you to experience the updated curriculum, refresh your knowledge, and apply what you learn to a new project as AI evolves.

Can my employer pay for it?

Yes. Many professionals use their learning and development budgets to cover the Fellowship.

We provide a manager-approval email template explaining the practical value to your company. Corporate cohort options are also available for teams. If your company needs an invoice, email support@productfaculty.com and we'll sort it.
