What students say
“I've already reprioritized my product roadmap for our upcoming initiative at bossbabe based on what I learned in the course. Our experiments are better sequenced for cost/benefit ratio now."
- Becky Pierson Davidson, bossbabe
“Love this class on Product Experimentation. Great for anyone considering build a new product or managing an existing one!”
- Adam Ritzel, WWT Digital
“Highly recommend this sprint for both those who tend to move to solutions quickly and those who often find themselves in analysis paralysis. An antidote for both!”
- Jane Newman, U.S. Department of Commerce

We can’t guarantee your company will reimburse you, but nearly half of our alumni have reported successful reimbursements. Check out our tips on reimbursement for some positioning ideas and a sample email you can use.
Yes! Upon submission, simply flag it as confidential, and we will not share your project beyond the Section team.

Not in the traditional sense. We provide exercises and facilitate community interaction, and you don’t have to participate — but we hope you will, as it really brings the materials to life. You’re also not obligated to complete the final project unless you’d like to qualify for a certificate.
Yes, live learning with group works for some, but if you’d like to learn on your own schedule, you have the option to watch all course videos on-demand and submit your project when you’re ready.
We design our courses for the busy, full-time professional, but we also get that it can be tough to add yet another thing! One of our core features is flexibility: for sprints, some students like to keep up day-to-day (expect to spend about 1-2 hours per module), others like to binge over a weekend. Whatever group you belong in, we’ve found that our alumni have been able to sustain this over the 1-2 week period. Our half-day workshops are a great deep dive into content, in a shorter window.
You don’t! We record every live session with our professors and make it available for you to replay, at your convenience.
Yes, you can cancel your membership at any time and you will continue to have access to your account until the end of your subscription period. Have more questions? Visit our help center to get in touch.
Every student who completes their course receives a certificate of completion. Completing the course means watching all course content and completing the final project. You can print out the certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile — and feel free to tag @Section on LinkedIn or @section_school on Twitter when you share it.
At Section, we believe in continuous learning, so with every course you get complimentary access to live lectures with business thought leaders and a professional network to help you accelerate your growth. Not for you? You can cancel the membership at any time.
Yep – you’ll walk away from each program with a badge for each course and a certificate for the program as a whole.
When you complete your Section program, you earn a branded certificate to share on LinkedIn and an optional, designed portfolio of work to show future employers.
We recommend taking one program at a time so you can focus your thinking – but if you’re an overachiever, yes, you can take them simultaneously!
