• Be available for all scheduled classes (virtual and physical hub sessions).

Do I need prior experience?

No, you do not need a background in coding or design to join. Prodcademy is designed to take you from beginner to professional. However, transferable skills such as communication, project coordination, data analysis, or marketing are a plus. We teach you everything you need to know about the product lifecycle from scratch.

3. If you meet the cutoff, you will be invited to submit a formal application form.

Scholarships
Does Prodcademy offer scholarships?

Yes! We are committed to democratizing tech education. We offer 100% tuition-free scholarships, primarily funded by our partners. While anyone can apply, priority is strictly given to Women and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to bridge the diversity gap in the African tech ecosystem.

What does the scholarship cover?

The scholarship is comprehensive. It covers:
• Full tuition fees for the 10-week program.

Note: Scholars are responsible for their own internet data and transportation to the physical hub.

Learning
Is it online or in-person?

• Virtual Classes: Live interactive sessions held on weekdays (evenings) covering theory and frameworks.
• Physical Hub Sessions: Mandatory in-person workshops on Saturdays at our Ilorin hub for hands-on simulations, team sprints, and networking.

What tools do I need?

You will need a laptop (minimum 4GB RAM recommended) and a smartphone. We will guide you through setting up industry-standard software including:
• Collaboration: Slack, Google Workspace.
• Product Management: Jira, Linear, Trello.
• Design: Figma.
