"Thousands of companies have given our training the stamp of approval," said Craig Stull, CEO of Pragmatic Marketing. "Additionally, our Pragmatic Marketing certification is now required at major technology companies, and frequently appears on job boards, resumes and professional networking sites. It has become the standard for the industry."

Pragmatic Marketing certifications are provided to course attendees who demonstrate their knowledge of Pragmatic Marketing principles, and the company has quadrupled the number of people to become Pragmatic Marketing Certified in the last five years.

With other product managers at his company also having taken the course, he said, "We're all speaking the same language now, as far as what we want to do and which areas we want to work on. I came out of class excited to use the knowledge." He has already begun incorporating what he learned about positioning, win/loss analysis and product launch in the course.
