Engineering manager training

Engineering manager training that holds up on Monday.

Courses, cohorts, and coaching for engineering managers, from newly promoted to VP of Engineering. Run by the founder who scaled Mews engineering from 8 to 80 teams through Series C, not an L&D consultant reading case studies secondhand.

9.3/10 across 54 reviews · 3,400+ mentoring sessions · 300+ leaders in 17+ countries

Who it trains

Three rooms, three problems.

Just got promoted

You were the best engineer. Now you run the people and nobody handed you the manual. L1 gets you running the team on purpose by Friday, not improvising for six months.

Start at L1

Running a team, hitting the ceiling

Your team ships, but roadmap delivery stalls and you cannot prove why. L2 gives an experienced manager a plan to 80%+ delivery, with the numbers to defend it upward.

Go to L2

Leading managers, not engineers

You manage managers now, and the job changed again. L3 is org design, AI budgets, and a manager pipeline that does not depend on you being in every room.

Step up to L3

Engineering manager coaching

When a course is not the thing you need.

Sometimes the problem is not a syllabus. It is the 1:1 where your best engineer says they might look around, and you need an answer this week.

Two ways in. One-to-one mentoring, drawn from 3,400+ sessions with 300+ leaders in 17+ countries, so the failure mode you are hitting has been seen before you hit it. Or the company subscription, where your leaders get continuous access instead of a one-off room.

Why this, not a generic course

Taught by someone who ran the org.

Most management training is recycled US theory read off slides. This is built by an operator: Mews from 8 to 80 teams through Series C, engineering at Databricks, Manta acquired by IBM. It is built for Central European teams, in English, Czech, or Slovak.

Questions

What people ask before they book.

What is engineering manager training?

Structured training that turns engineers into managers who run a team on purpose: the first 90 days, 1:1s, hard conversations, delivery, and stakeholder work. Here it runs as short in-person courses plus mentoring, not a video library you never finish.

Who is engineering manager training for?

Newly promoted managers, experienced managers stuck at the delivery ceiling, and directors or VPs who now lead other managers. Three levels, L1 to L3, plus an AI-native flagship and six masterclasses.

How is this different from a generic management course?

It is taught by an operator who scaled Mews engineering from 8 to 80 teams, not an L&D consultant. Small cohorts, real numbers, rated 9.3/10 across 54 reviews, and built for Central European engineering teams in English, Czech, or Slovak.

Do you offer coaching, not just courses?

Yes. One-to-one mentoring covers the exact situation you are in right now, drawn from 3,400+ sessions with 300+ leaders. The company subscription gives your leaders continuous access across the year instead of a single room.

Can you train my whole engineering team in-house?

Yes. Every course runs as a private in-house cohort for one company, from 460,000 CZK. Or a yearly company subscription bundles free community membership with paid learning across the year, from 390,000 CZK.

Are the courses in person or online?

In person, run across Central Europe: Prague, Brno, Bratislava, and Krakow. In-house cohorts run at your office or a venue you pick.

One course for the fire this quarter, or the whole path for the next two years.
