“Our alumni are talking about their growth on LinkedIn.”
“Over the past months, I’ve had the privilege of attending two courses at Equinet Academy and I must say the journey has been nothing short of transformative. As someone constantly seeking ways to strengthen my business The Safaa Safiyyah Publication, I believe that investing in knowledge is one of the most powerful decisions we can make. Alhamdulillah, the insights I’ve gained so far have truly exceeded expectations.
The first course I took was on SEO. In the beginning, it felt challenging with so many technical terms, algorithms, and strategies to grasp. But thankfully, I was able to understand how the system works and how it can be applied to grow visibility online. That sense of clarity was empowering.
Most recently, I completed a course on Copywriting, which focused on the essentials of crafting persuasive and impactful content. This one was particularly enjoyable because it connected directly to how we communicate with our audience. Learning the art of words and how they influence decisions was eye-opening.
I’m grateful for these opportunities and excited to explore more courses that bring practical value to both personal growth and business success. Continuous learning is truly the key to staying relevant and inspired.”
“The more I learn, the more I appreciate the value of slowing down.
Four modules and one certification later, the biggest takeaway isn’t a framework or a platform feature. It’s a question I keep coming back to: are we actually connecting with people, or just optimising for the sake of it?
Back when I was planning and running campaigns, I was so focused on execution that I rarely paused to ask whether what I was putting out was actually resonating. Looking back, that was the gap, not the technical knowledge, but the habit of stepping back.
Something Hatta shared during the Meta module stuck with me. When a campaign isn’t working, you really only have two levers: tweak the message, or tweak how you’re distributing it. It is simple, but it reframed how I think about problem-solving in marketing altogether. Before piling on more effort, diagnose first.
That’s what I want to carry forward. Step back, ask the harder question: who am I really trying to reach, and am I showing up where and how they actually want to be reached? Then decide which lever to pull.
Growth isn’t just about learning more. It’s about thinking differently.
🎉 P.S. Officially a Certified Digital Advertising Specialist (CDAS)! Huge shoutout to Hatta Aziz for making the Meta marketing module at Equinet Academy so engaging and practical, it was genuinely one of those classes I wished I’d taken sooner.”
“Professional development meets fun & creativity – with some help from Mario, Luigi & Toad! 😆
I’ve just attended a two-day “𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴” course at and I’m walking away with lots of incredible learnings. I’ll be honest: Like many marketers, I’ve had those moments of “AI anxiety”… overwhelmed trying to learn the many AI tools and wondering if these tools are here to replace us marketers. But after the training, I’ve realised that AI is actually here to supercharge my work, not take it away.
A few highlights from my “AI Sandbox” sessions:
🎵 I “hired” #Suno to compose a custom song for Yojee (and I’m happy to say my CEO, Mark Connell, actually loved it! 😉). 👉 Here’s the link to the song: https://lnkd.in/gsMpi-NT
🍄 I also transformed myself into a “Female Mario” to dance with Luigi and Toad using #GoogleWhisk.
Thanks to our trainer, Razy Shah, for making the content relevant and fun. And massive thanks to my boss, Mark, for letting me step away from the grind to level up. Now, I’m feeling inspired, slightly more “tech-savvy,” and ready to put these tools to work!

“I’m happy to share that I am a fully Certified Digital Marketing Strategist (CDMS v2) with Equinet Academy! Through this journey, I gained hands-on exposure to key areas such as Google Analytics, Search Engine Optimization and Marketing, email automation, content creation, and social media marketing strategies and more. These equip me with a more data-driven and digitally focused approach to marketing and communications.
While wealth management and the financial sector has traditionally been centered around deep, one-on-one relationships, the world has clearly pivoted towards digital. I believe the way we engage UHNWIs must evolve alongside this shift.
Some may ask—why dive into something so technical? While I may not execute every tool hands-on, understanding how these platforms work allows me to better evaluate digital strategies, collaborate more effectively with agencies and internal teams, and make more informed decisions and support brand building. It also gives me greater confidence in engaging stakeholders on digital initiatives.
Ultimately, by firstly focusing on the client and the client journey, these capabilities will help us better understand client needs, enhance engagement, and help build meaningful connection platforms with both current and future clients.
I’m looking forward to integrating these insights into my work and explore how better to support this trust driven, relationship building nature of the industry.”
“It was a day of Google Review on Google My Business by Hatta Aziz at Equinet Academy surprisingly not many businesses doing this service when it’s one of the best way to locate small businesses such as F&B, consulting services etc.
What are the interesting takeaways?
💡 Don’t play, play, keep changing your business name offering and category can invoke being spammy and you will get suspended from your account. So, be intentional with any changes.
💡Fill up as many details such as opening hours, categories, special offerings, contact details to social channels.
💡Post about your offerings and brand with SEO keywords. It can be informational as you are writing for a machine. Each location if your business needs it’s own posts. You may Reuse done information but cater to the location.
💡 Make sure your location is verified and you need to provide pictures and same correct information across all your channels. Else it could be a long waiting game. That’s why using Hatta’s service may be an option when you have a hard to verify business.
💡 Have positive reviews to support your business with reviews and pictures.
💡Balance all these with good trends and SEO monitoring to ensure your business is found and comes up high in the Google Search. It’s long tail game that can yield results for small business.
“My first Achievement of 2026 — WSQ AI in Digital Marketing –> A meaningful start. 😊
I’ve completed the WSQ AI in Digital Marketing course with Equinet Academy, and I’m grateful for the learning journey that brought structure and clarity to how AI can be applied in real-world digital marketing.
This course strengthened my understanding of how AI supports content strategy, ideation, optimisation, and productivity — not just as tools, but as part of a thoughtful marketing workflow.
A big thank you to our trainer – Razy Shah for his clear and engaging teaching. He had generously shared practical, real-world examples that truly reinforced understanding and made AI concepts easy to apply with confidence!

“Spending hours grouping keywords manually while your competitors are already using AI to dominate search results?
Here’s the truth: SEO has fundamentally changed.
Google doesn’t care about keyword density anymore.
It cares about whether you genuinely understand what your audience needs and if you have the authority to deliver it.
Search engines now use AI to analyze entity relationships, user intent, and topical authority. If you’re still optimizing for keyword frequency, you’re playing a game that ended two years ago.
The new game? Training AI to reflect your genuine expertise and build trust with search engines.
Think of AI as your research analyst who works 24/7.
Here’s the collaboration model that’s working:
You (the human): Define goals, add context, supervise quality, make strategic decisions
AI (the assistant): Analyze data, identify patterns, generate first drafts, maintain consistency
Here are 4 practical ways to integrate AI into your SEO workflow right now:
1. Automated Keyword Clustering
Stop manually grouping keywords.
Use AI to cluster them by semantic similarity and user intent.
What took 3 hours now takes 15 minutes.
2. Competitor Content Analysis
Feed AI your top 10 competitors’ URLs.
Ask it to summarize their themes, identify content gaps, and reveal positioning opportunities you missed.
3. Content Audits at Scale
Let AI analyze your existing content for missing entities, thin sections, tone inconsistencies, and internal linking opportunities.
It catches what you’d miss in manual reviews.
4. Train Your AI Assistant
This is the step most people skip.
Before scaling, teach your AI three things:
Your brand tone (professional? conversational? authoritative?)
Your SEO style rules (title lengths, heading structure, linking strategy)
Your core messaging values (trust, expertise, transformation)
Untrained AI creates generic noise. Trained AI builds brand trust.
Your role isn’t disappearing.
It’s evolving from manual execution to strategic guidance.
You define what matters. AI handles the heavy data lifting.
The SEO professionals winning right now aren’t the ones with the best keyword tools.
They’re the ones who’ve figured out how to collaborate with AI to establish genuine topical authority.
What’s been your biggest challenge (or win) using AI in your SEO workflow?
Drop a comment, and let’s learn from each other.

“𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐄𝐎 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
Today’s digital marketer faces an ever-advancing landscape where content creation, SEO, and AI now intersect more closely than ever before.
Attending the 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝟏-𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐄𝐎 & 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 by Equinet Academy reminded me how much the digital landscape has shifted, and how important it is to keep learning, unlearning and relearning.
𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩:
• Using AI prompts strategically to improve SEO keyword research and topic clustering
• Crafting AI-assisted outlines that enhance content relevancy and ranking potential
• Integrating AI tools seamlessly into marketing workflows to boost productivity without losing authenticity
AI is transforming how we research, write, and optimise content. Yet, the heart of good marketing still lies in human insight – understanding people, their search intent, their motivations, and how they connect with stories that feel authentic.
What stood out most for me wasn’t just the technical side of prompt engineering, but how it challenges us to 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺:
✔️How do we ask better questions to get better answers?
✔️How can AI help us write for humans, not just for algorithms?
✔️How do we retain empathy and creativity in a world of automation?
Beyond the workshop, it was uplifting to reconnect with Valerie Chow and Sheng Wei SHI Manfred, and a pleasant surprise to bump into Miki Kong 🦂 along this journey of upskilling and rediscovery. Catching up with Kevin Dam and Razy Shah made the day even more special.
Every conversation reminded me that learning is not a solo act – it’s a shared experience. We grow when we learn with others, not just from them.
For marketers seeking to stay ahead, AI is not about replacing creativity. It’s about refining it and helping us tell better stories, backed by data and intent.
Here’s to continuous curiosity, open minds, and embracing new tools not to replace what we do best, but to refine how we create meaning in our work.

“I started the year by investing time in upskilling, attending a 2-day WSQ course in Digital Branding and Brand Strategy. It was a great opportunity to deepen my understanding of how brands are built, positioned, and communicated effectively in today’s digital landscape.
A big thank you to CyberSafe for the support and encouragement to continuously learn and grow. It really means a lot to be part of an organisation that values professional development.
I’d also like to express my appreciation to Chris Minjoot, our facilitator, for the engaging sessions, practical insights, and real-world examples that made the course both meaningful and applicable.
Lastly, thank you to Equinet Academy for organising and delivering a well-structured and insightful programme. Looking forward to applying what I’ve learned and building on this momentum for the rest of the year!”
“One full day on #SEO and #AI #PromptEngineering at Equinet Academy leaves me feeling mind-blown on how AI tools, SEO and prompting had changed in a blink of an eye.
What’s 🌟in SEO AI era? Kevin Dam
⭐️ Do you need that many staffs in agency or manpower in marketing? It is reduction of manpower not because of cost but AI is your assistant, intern and more to get the hard legwork from research, summary, ideation and more so much quicker than human.
⭐️ The power of search, competitive analysis and suggestions to changes cam be done in less than 1 hour of an SEO staff now vs previously.
⭐️ The more granular and contextual your prompts the more refined your answers and solutions to what you are after. Be careful of going down the rabbit hole as the suggestions of AI can take you off the track.
⭐️ Change what is given from AI to have human overview in SEO else you’ll be rank lower as AI can detect AI! 😆
⭐️ OpenAI and Perplexity are most used but there are other SEO tools. Plus, paid versions will have more tokens to use and not wait for refilling the next day.
What’s 🔥 in prompt engineering? Razy Shah 🐎
🔥 There are so many tools out there beyond #CGPT and Razy unpeg and showed as many from Gamna slides, Whisk, Meta AI and more. It’s an always growing and evolving space, as a #marketer you keep up with which tool you need to use. It keeps upgrading so it gets better! The more you use and practice on them the better you get in using AI.
🔥 Personalise your CGPTs and custom each persona so you can create the right content, manage your clients easily and saves you time rehashing with AI.
🔥 Use AI to write content to sound like you. Do look through and check it. You are the controller of your content and what you put out there.
🔥 Prompt well in full context, settings and information to get what you want. Else you end up something different. Though some things however the prompting you get a standard look etc as that was what is setup in the LLMs. But it has come far.
🐴 🔥 creating mascots instead of chatbot emulating a person brings up engagement and an interesting touch point. It seems people scold or abuse humanlike chatbots vs mascots 🤯
I asked Razy the million dollar question, what will become of #marketing and marketers? Will there still money on the table? 🔮 verdict still out as of now as we are all getting into AI to take the most of it.
And, a possibility of the AI bubble burst💣 like the dot-com bust is predicted.
Let’s keep the marketing spirit, creativity and knowledge ongoing!

“Yesterday I had the chance to attend Equinet Academy‘s 1-Day Intro to Branding and TikTok Content Creation Workshop.
It was a refreshing dive into how brands can tell their stories in new ways, especially on platforms where creativity and authenticity matter most.
Always grateful for opportunities to keep learning and evolving — both for work and personal growth.”
“As communications professionals, we know that content is at the heart of what we do. Yet, besides facts and data, what truly captures attention and drives engagement is the emotional storytelling strategy. After attending a Content Marketing Course at Equinet Academy with Razy Shah, I was reminded again that emotional storytelling isn’t just a tool—it’s a game changer.
📚𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
In a world saturated with content, what sets our message apart is not how much information you provide, but how you make your audience feel. Whether we’re crafting a press release, writing a feature, or curating social media content, tap into the emotions that drive human connection—empathy, hope, or even vulnerability. This insight reinforced my belief that as PR practitioners, we must move from transactional storytelling to one that is emotional and relational. It’s not just about telling the story—it’s about making our audiences feel like they are a part of it.
📚 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Emotional storytelling also plays a critical role in internal communications. Whether we’re addressing your team or the leadership, the key is to inspire action. Facts and figures will always have their place, but when we frame our message with personal stories and shared experiences, we create buy-in, foster trust, and build a culture of shared purpose. This is even more so for those of us in sectors like health and education, where it’s essential to craft communications that resonate on a personal level.

Equinet Academy, along with instructors Chris Minjoot and Walter Lim, had a significant impact on my journey through the Certified Content Marketing Specialist (CCMS) Programme. Their encouragement and expertise inspired me every step of the way, making my learning experience both meaningful and empowering.
Now, I am a certified content marketing specialist, all thanks to both of them and the team at Equinet Academy for their unwavering support and guidance.

“A heartfelt thank you to my former lecturer Chris Minjoot and Equinet Academy for the kind feature in their latest blog article:
“𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝘆𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁”
👉 https://lnkd.in/g6W_RXuG
Even though the course I took with Chris was focused on Brand & Branding Strategy, I’ve always admired how he teaches with clarity, purpose, and a sharp understanding of what moves people. And this guide on advanced copywriting techniques is no different.
He breaks down frameworks like 𝗔𝗜𝗗𝗔 (𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻–𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁–𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲–𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻) and 𝗣𝗔𝗦 (𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺–𝗔𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲–𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻), and what I appreciate is how they’re not just theory but that they are practical tools we can actually use in brand storytelling and strategic messaging. These models might seem simple, but when applied with empathy and intent, they can completely transform the way your audience receives and responds to your message.
The reminder that “𝙘𝙤𝙥𝙮𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨, 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚” really hits home. At the heart of it, it’s about building connection and that’s what makes it powerful.
To Chris: thank you again for the feature and for always encouraging thoughtful, strategy-led communication.
To anyone building a brand or working on your messaging, give this guide a read. It’s solid gold!

“Last Friday, I completed Equinet Academy‘s fantastic two-day WSQ AI in Marketing course, which was wonderfully taught by the knowledgeable instructor, Razy Shah, the co-founder of 2Stallions Digital Marketing Agency. The first two hours alone packed in 10 times the insights compared to a similar SBF AI-powered marketing course I attended a few months back!
This course explored prompt engineering techniques and provided hands-on exercises to experience various helpful LLM GenAI tools, including Google Gemini, Veo3, NotebookLM, Perplexity for research, Meta AI, ImageFX, MusicFX, ElevenLabs, Descript, and Gama. It also explored various applications in graphics and video animation AI tools such as Kling AI, HeyGen, Canva AI, Invideo, and many more. These AI tools are helpful for marketers and advertisers in designing more realistic and creative campaigns, both online and offline.
AI technology is evolving rapidly, and Gen AI-produced content is becoming astonishingly lifelike, often indistinguishable from reality. This highlights the importance of understanding how to effectively and ethically harness AI tools.
Key takeaways from this engaging 2-day course:
✅ Understanding the transformative impact of AI on digital marketing.
✅ Leveraging AI for deep consumer insights & tailored marketing strategies.
✅ Creating captivating content with advanced AI tools.
✅ Optimizing programmatic advertising with AI.
✅ Enhancing email campaigns through AI-driven strategies.
✅ Personalizing user experiences with AI-driven website enhancements.
✅ Measuring and refining marketing performance via AI analytics.
✅ Evaluating ethical considerations in AI deployment.
A big thank you to Razy Shah and Equinet Academy for an exceptional learning experience! I highly recommend this course to all marketing professionals keen to stay ahead in the digital marketing arena.

“With some SkillsFuture credits left, I decided to revisit the fundamentals and enrolled in the WSQ Search Engine Optimisation 2-day course at Equinet Academy, led by Kevin Dam.
While the course was more foundational, it served as a great checkpoint — a chance to review what might have been overlooked while working deep in strategy and execution. Sometimes, going back to basics helps surface what we unconsciously skip over.
Thanks Kevin!

“My recent maternity leave was an important time for me to recuperate and enjoy time with my new baby and family. But I also saw it as an opportunity to make the best use of my leave to upskill and learn new things because, why not.
As a communications practitioner, understandably numbers and data aren’t my strong suit. So that was what I decided to work on by taking up a course on digital marketing and analytics and learning more about Google Analytics 4. It didn’t come without challenges but it was a necessary skill set to harness in today’s digital age. Thankful to have Jean-Claire Rozario alongside this learning journey with me.
Kickstarting this momentum to learn further inspired me to take on another course in social media marketing just a few weeks later – looking at marketing strategies for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn, which also covered how best to leverage AI tools.
Shout-outs to the trainers Walter Lim and Dhawal Shah for sharing their knowledge and keeping the class inspired! Equinet Academy“
“I’ve recently completed my 4-Days WSQ SEO (Search Engine Optimization) course with Equinet Academy 🙌🙌. SEO has been a role that I’ve always wanted to explore as marketers must be flexible in strategies to manage multiple channels and adopt a ‘pay less, modify the content or re-run multiple tests’ for ads that don’t provide expected ROI’s.
Organic traffic may be challenging but at times like this, organic searches have indeed surged during the pandemic period. 👍👍👍
Here’s how you should optimized SEO for better conversion rate!
“I took the Website Creation, SEO, and Digital Marketing courses here, and they really boosted my self-confidence. They inspired me to take on new challenges, leading me to start my own small business focused on website design & development and SEO, along with my emergency preparedness consultancy. The skills and insights I gained have been essential in growing both businesses. Highly recommend!”
“Very supportive school and trainers. Because of school like you, that why I am more excited about digital marketing and make effort to learn this skill. You are simply the best school in supporting students to upskill their digital marketing skills.”
“A long-overdue review for Equinet Academy! I had an incredible time studying digital marketing strategy courses here. The learning experience was highly interactive, making every session engaging and practical. The trainers—Razy, Hatta, Walter, Kevin Dam, and many others—are not just experts in their fields but genuinely passionate educators. Every lesson delivered profound insights that reshaped my perspective on digital marketing.
If you’re looking for a place that truly elevates your understanding of digital marketing, I highly recommend Equinet.”
“I’ve attended WSQ digital marketing courses at other places, but Equinet Academy stood out as the most intense and truly hands-on. There was very little downtime, as every session was filled with real learning and practical application. Learning TikTok marketing here gave us concrete strategies to create engaging short-form content, directly supporting our goal of reaching younger, digital-first audiences.
Beyond the lessons, the friendly reception, thoughtful care, and even small touches like snacks made the experience supportive and stress-free. I had two instructors with strong industry experience — both were friendly, helpful, and patient. The way they divided the work and guided us through exercises made the learning process very effective. Overall, it felt like real learning, not just ‘play play’, and it has helped me progress meaningfully in my career.”
“Equinet courses are very professionally done, well structured, and the trainers are knowledgeable as they are industry veterans. the Post course mentorship is great as well for further help if required. Overall never seen a course provider put such level of care into nurturing the students. it is why i keep going back to them for more courses”
“I first attended the Certified Digital Marketing Strategist Programme at Equinet Academy in 2020 and had a great learning experience. The course was well-structured, with practical insights that I could immediately apply to my work. The trainers were knowledgeable and engaging, making complex topics easy to understand.
In 2024, I returned for the User Interface & User Experience Design (UI/UX) Training Course, and once again, Equinet Academy delivered exceptional training. The hands-on approach, real-world case studies, and interactive sessions made the learning process insightful and enjoyable.
Equinet Academy remains my top choice for professional upskilling in digital marketing. Highly recommend!”
“My journey on digital courses with Equinet started from 2019. At first, I wanted to bridge my knowledge at work with what I needed to learn about digital marketing. Later I went back for more courses as the trainers are all very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Trainers like Walter and Razy go beyond their time to provide help me in some issues at work and even on my interview to help me in making a interview project better.”
“The content marketing module is a highly curated course that any digital marketers should attend. Lots of good tips that are used by the professionals. Trainer Tom is very energetic and experienced too. Enjoy your course!”
“I attended quite a few digital marketing courses with Equinet Academy. The notes they provide are all detailed and informative. Their trainers are all experienced whom will share a lot real life case study. Equinet also provided post-course training which is very helpful. Thank you for having so many digital marketing courses that is of good use when applying those skills at work.”
“Attended Social Media Marketing course and found it comprehensive. Like the hands-on in class. The best part is the Post-Training Mentoring Session where Walter Lim gave a lot of updated content and hacks, plus answering questions on the spot. There’s also 1-on-1 session to help you out. Definitely appreciate this after class sessions. Did I mention the Post-Training Mentoring Session is complimentary? 🙂”
“Recently completed advanced social media management course. Very insightful notes and got me thinking deeper about how to improve my social media marketing strategy. Looking forward to attend other advanced courses”
“Excellent training facilities and location. Very smooth registration process. The trainer is very knowledgeable and patient. The only gripe is that i wish it has more variety of course associated with Ai.”
“Mr. Walter Lim was an excellent instructor for the Social Media Marketing Course. The course content was highly practical and immediately applicable. I especially appreciated the complimentary post-training mentoring session. It solidified my understanding of the fundamentals. Highly recommend!”
“Recently attended the WordPress Website Creation course conducted by Chan Teck Seng. I must say Equinet is the place to go if you wish to learn. I’ve been to their Google Analytics course a couple of years ago and left with a wealth of knowledge as well. Their instructors are all real working people in the respective fields and not just a pure lecturer that’s well verse in the course materials. They share real life experiences during the sessions and are open to answer any questions that you may have.
Teck Seng was very patient with the class as there were people of different skill levels. He handles the constant questions and interrupts really well so as not to affect the pace of the class. The examples given where very helpful and all were from his years of experience in the website creation field. All questions were answered and every successfully completed the course. Thank you Equinet and keep up the good work!”
“I attended Google Analytics training for two days (online). This course is practical and the coach (Ivan) is patient and clear to instruct the attendees. Ivan has also shared very useful materials with us so that we can refresh our learnings in the future.”
“Great learning experience, manage to learn quite a lot regarding Google Analytics and hopefully I’ll be able to apply it well in the real world!”
“Completed my SEO course. Ian is very patient with his approach, though at times it takes a while for others to catch up. However, he is generally humble enough to guide you every step of the way. I could sense his openness to his students without any form of judgment, and that says a lot about his character. I’m very sure he will go far in life if he continues to bring this kind of value with him.”
“Took several courses there by now. Always came out with a lot of new insights each time that I could apply to my work as a digital marketer. Very good trainers, everything is well-organised, amazing value for what you get.”
“A review that I felt is long overdue. Have attended Equinet Academy’s classes/courses since 2022. Back then, digital marketing was still like a myth to me, especially SEO.
Attending the classes was enriching as every slides and chapter is a newfound knowledge. Even though digital marketing is such a broad topic, the lessons was easily digestible and bitesize, educating relevant information that allowed me to learn quicker and effectively to build my resume that eventually landed me in digital marketing roles just months later.
It also gave me the confidence during my job interviews because knowing more things is better than none, by sharing insights, I feel that it significantly raises attention to my interviewer and I have no trouble finding a digital marketing job.
A little of a flywheel effect where experience brings opportunity and more experience, Equinet is a starting point for me.
It’s been some time since but I am still looking at its new courses to attend and keep up with trends.”

Jethro had a wealth of knowledge and expertise, evidently from his 19 years in the marketing field. He was able to keep myself and the class highly engaged with relevant and latest real-world examples. I truly enjoyed his method of teaching as he was able to explain concepts well to varying degrees, even to other students who are new to marketing. I really appreciate how he also relates the examples to our fields, in order for us to learn and apply the information better. Jethro was also able to answer all of our questions well and succinctly. Overall, I had a great learning experience and would recommend the class and himself as the trainer to peers who are interested in learning email marketing. I feel more confident after the class to start applying what I was taught to my use case.
