I Spent ₦150k on a Product Management Course but Still Can’t Land Interviews—What Next?

I paid ₦150,000 for a Product Management course last year. Videos, slides and a certificate at the end, but recruiters still say I have no real experience. My certificate didn’t help with case study questions. I saw someone else score 57% on an assessment and get a one-on-one review of every mistake. She said that feedback was more valuable than just passing with a certificate. For those who have landed PM or tech roles in Nigeria: which helped you more—having a certificate or getting hands-on practice with detailed feedback? Would you rather fail tests but learn deeply, or pass easily without real skills? I’m ready to invest again but want to build genuine skills. What’s the smartest way to learn Product Management in Nigeria right now?
