The library is past the security barrier and you need a Birkbeck student ID or pay a daily fee of £6 to gain access. Very bright. Much better then it was 20+ years ago.

Hmm. Birkbeck. I…read moretake a couple of classes here. The place is nice in the kind weather, but seems like such a grey campus for being so close to several nice squares (especially Russell Square). The quad area outside of the main building is a nice place to dodge errant tennis balls being thrown around and take a seat on the green grass. Eat a sandwich if you want to. No one's pressuring you to not eat your sandwich wherever you want to eat it. You can eat your sandwich standing or sitting, no judgement here. Speaking of food, outside SOAS there is a vegetarian krishna food table that gives away lots of food for free every day. You can just stroll on up to it (or the que) and they give you a huge plate of food. Based on every single person telling me they didn't like it, though, I'm staying away from there. To some people, free is free so you might want to try it. The area around the aforementioned Russell Square is my favorite part of Birkbeck rather than the area around the main building. My classes are 3 hours long, so when there is a 20 minute break in the class, we all stroll out into the square and grab some grub at the Russell Square Cafe. It's incredibly peaceful. I like donuts. Birkbeck's main building has a cafe on the ground floor, but the prices aren't so good. So I'd recommend bringing food onto campus (Russell Squ cafe is also a bit pricey). There are many coffee shops leading up to the school. That's another thing, Birkbeck is in the center of London, easily accessible via underground by way of the Russell Square and Goodge Street tube stations. So if you're looking for a centrally located school, LOOK NO FURTHER. Stop looking. I take classes at both London Met and Birkbeck; and everything at Birkbeck is so much nicer. But that's to be expected. #TeamBirkbeck

I have been a Product Manager for a few years now but it never came with a structured class. So, I…read moredecided to go attend Product School for this reason. My review on Product School are as follows: Course: It validated what I was already doing. It discussed the entire process from Research, Opportunities, Prioritization, Relationships, Development and so. (I can still hear Laurie repeating "Prioritization" every week haha!) In such a short time we were able to cover so much. The course was concise, direct and comprehensive (thanks to the notes!). I haven't even passed 4 weeks into the course and I have already been recommending it. Instructor: "Product Managers are measured by impact of features... not release." - Laurie uttered these words on Day 1. Laurie was amazing! She didn't even need to look at the notes. She knew exactly what one slide meant even if it only had 1 photo and 1 word, astoundingly, she manage to tell us so many things with a 1 word slide. In every lesson she made sure her stories and insights were relatable to everyone, which felt really nice, because, based from experience, not every instructor would do that extra step. She was able to answer everyone's question very directly and honestly. Made sure everyone was participating and learning. Keeping everyone on their toes. She researched everyone's backgrounds and always asked us cases and questions in relation to our background. I specially loved that she went above and beyond for us. Our class would sometimes go overtime and some of my classmates would still ask for extra time after class to discuss things with her. Not to mention the weekend commenting on homework and replying in slack. So you see now, why I started with "Laurie was amazing!" because she was. In summary: If you're new to Product Management, I highly recommend this course. Mainly because how the course was structured and flowed. I really appreciated that notes and presentations were available to review between classes. If you are someone like me, who has been a Product Manager for quite a while but kind of ended up in the position from a developer or an analyst, I still highly recommend this course to give you the validation that what you're doing is correct and maybe adjustments to make you even better at the job. :)

As this was entry level course, the topics we covered were all designed to teach the foundations and the best practices shared across the tech industry.

I highly recommend the course to anyone who's interested to pursue career in Product Management.

BPP is famous for its law courses but I have more experience of it's professional qualifications in…read moremarketing, which are based on the syllabus set by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). There are 4 levels of CIM qualification; Introduction level, Certificate level, Professional Diploma and Postgraduate Diploma. I think that BPP only offer professional diploma and postgrad diploma. Most people who have some knowledge of business (i.e. have been working in an office environment for 1-2 years), and have experienced study at university should be able to join at Professional Diploma level. I haven't tried other providers as BPP's location in Holborn is convenient to me, as it is close to bus and tube links and a nice area. There do not seem to be that many providers of CIM courses in London that are larger professional qualifications providers (FTC Kaplan do not run CIM courses in London currently), and BPP's course books are offered at a number of CIM events as being good study guides for the syllabus. The professional diploma is split into 4 modules, and you can take as many of these at a time as you want. Courses run either two nights per week, 6-9pm, fortnightly, or one Saturday every fortnight 9-5pm, and start in September or January. Each module takes about 3 months to complete and you can choose either assignment or exam for your assessment which will be held in a CIM exam centre (usually Fulham town hall) The teaching was good, though perhaps not as coherent as other professional qualifications such as the ACA for accounting. The BPP textbooks are comprehensive but could be better laid out and structured to help you study in the short time you have. You are also given a bank of past paper questions to familiarise yourself with question styles and a small notebook of printed flashcard style revision notes which are a condensed version of the book. Mock exams are also included and as part of the couse you will also attempt 2 mock exams at home per module. The classes are very interactive and involve a number of discussions and are rarely boring. Attending the classes is a great way to meet other people from a wide variety of different businesses and is a learning opportunity in itself. I took the CIM Professional Diploma to try and improve my CV and give me practial skills for marketing that I hope to be able to use in my work in the future. I feel that I can achieve this with the course at BPP. My main criticisms would be the admin at BPP which is badly organised and slow when sending out student cards and going through enrollment procedures. Other than that my experience so far has generally been good and I will return to complete my professional diploma in January by taking a further two modules. Classrooms are modern and never cramped; teaching uses powerpoint presentations and group work in class. Overall this course is good value for money and a good option for people who want to improve their knowledge of marketing procedures to improve their general business knowledge.

My last course, PRINCE2 had a load of information to take in, but Graham was very patient and used a lot of analogies, which made it easier. I also found from all my teachers that they don't just read off powerpoints, they go in depth and try to make thing easy to remember. I'd recommend this for anyone looking to further their qualifications or just needs a professional boost on their CV!
