I see a $400 price tag on a five week course. If it takes 5 weeks to learn how to use your product, I am skeptical that it has legs.
Side note: supposedly this is the first cohort of this course, so how do you already have testimonials?
As the post mentions, a year ago we did a trial of it, and have been working with that group of 1000 users since then.
The course is about a methodology, not a product. It's the ideas Eric Ries and I have been working on for decades. 5 weeks is a crash course that can only touch on the ideas. And it covers learning data structures and algorithms, foundations of web programming, system administration, startup creating, and much more.
It's really a rapid "how do to <x> the solveit way" for a variety of x. Each of those x is likely to become a full course in the future.
You obviously see a ton of value here, but a bunch of industry professionals still aren’t getting it. This is a communication problem. Y’all probably should consider investing in a (different?) marketing or communications consultant.

It's not a course on how to learn how to use the product. It's a course on how to think and solve problems, which makes you more effective in using the platform.
I guess I was lucky. I'm old enough that this was taught to me in school for free. That was way back in the day before it was outlawed.
