Maven's Management category on 2026-10-08 listed upcoming cohorts dated Nov 2026 through Mar 2027. source
Maven hosts a rotating set of short, live management cohorts; the ones engineers take most are Wes Kao's two-day executive communication workshop ($850), Jess Goldberg's three-week Management Mastery ($899) and Cody Wright's ten-week Leadership Accelerator ($2,250). They suit a manager who wants one specific skill fixed quickly rather than a curriculum. Read the rating count on the course page, since some cohorts show a 4.5 from two reviews.

Whatever the program covers, the interview itself is free to prepare for here: coding patterns, system design, practice prompts, company guides.
What a careful reader should know
None of these courses is engineering-specific; they are general management and communication cohorts that engineers commonly take. Wes Kao is a Maven co-founder, so her course is the platform's own showcase. Ratings and enrollment counts are Maven's own, shown on the course pages. Maven Learning, Inc. raised $25M from First Round and a16z per Kao's bio.
