Course Description

Brands have begun to realise that rudimentary data analysis isn’t sufficient to paint a full picture of how consumers engage with their brands. Without a holistic understanding of consumer behaviour across multi-channel interaction points, marketing performance will never truly be optimised and reach its full potential.

This intensive two-day Advanced Digital Marketing Analytics (Google Analytics 4) Certification training course is designed to stretch your comfort level with Google Analytics and guide you through the technical aspects of the platform to extract maximum data insights.

The instructional methods combine a healthy balance of theory with plenty of hands-on exercises, designed to explore advanced analytics concepts such as enhanced data capturing and analysis capabilities that will bring your understanding of digital marketing analytics to the next level.

Course trainees will learn critical concepts such as how to track extensive data points across multiple domains and devices, obtain a deeper understanding of user behaviour, establish ecommerce tracking, and personalise data using Google Analytics 4. This course will help simplify extensive data analysis and provide deeper insights that drive important business decisions.

FAQs

Questions? Check out the frequently asked questions below.

Do I have to prepare anything before attending the course?

For in-person training, do bring along a laptop. You also have the option to loan a laptop from us for the duration of the course. You may also want to bring along a jacket in case the room gets cold.

For online classes, do ensure you have a functional laptop and have Zoom installed prior to class. For more details, you may read the Online-based Classroom Learner Guide.

As there will be WSQ assessments conducted in this course, you are required to bring along your NRIC or any form of photo identification for ID verification purposes.

Are there any funding or government subsidies for this course?

You may be eligible for up to 70% SkillsFuture subsidies. If you wish to check your funding eligibility, you may complete step 1 of the course registration form to check your nett course fees payable after all available subsidies.

For more information on all available course funding/grants/subsidies, you may check out this FAQ page.

What is the difference between the WSQ Digital Marketing Analytics course, this advanced course, and the Google Analytics Individual Qualification study resources?

The basic Digital Marketing Analytics course covers the fundamental concepts of Google Analytics.

The Advanced Digital Marketing Analytics course goes into more detail covering more advanced concepts of Google Analytics and preps you for the Google Analytics Certification. This certification is also awarded by Google Analytics Academy and it demonstrates a high level of proficiency in Google Analytics.

You may go through and review both course outlines in detail and contact us should you have any specific questions on this.

What is the Google Analytics Certification about?

Achieving the Google Analytics Certification demonstrates competency in basic and advanced Google Analytics concepts. The certificate is valid for 12 months from the date of passing the exam.

If I have any questions after the course, can I consult the trainer?

Yes, you may contact your trainer after the course. There are other post-training support channels such as the Equinet Academy Insider Community where you may network with like-minded individuals and industry experts and live Ask Me Anything sessions where you may seek advice from a subject matter expert.

What is the difference between online classroom and in-person classroom learning modes?

Typically, in a traditional classroom, classes are conducted with 1 trainer to 20 – 24 learners in a cluster or classroom seating format. Group discussions, group presentations, lectures, peer-to-peer coaching are all conducted face-to-face (in-person).

In an online-based classroom, lessons will be delivered via a video conferencing software, Zoom. Lectures will be conducted via screensharing, while group discussions and group brainstorming will be conducted via “breakout” rooms (individual virtual rooms) to split up discussions into smaller groups. Both learning modes essentially offer the same course content and learning outcomes.

Read the Online-based Classroom Learner Guide for a more detailed comparison on both formats.

Can't I learn everything over the internet?

Our courses offer a very hands on approach so that you will be able to apply what you learn immediately. Moreover, our trainers are industry practitioners who will be able to answer your questions and offer expert advice in real time.

We also offer post-training support which includes 2-hour Ask Me Anything sessions with an industry expert for up to 3 years, an online refresher seat within 3 years post-training, access to an insider community, and 3-year access to up-to-date courseware via the learning management system.

Are these short courses sufficient to achieve desirable learning outcomes?

Equinet Academy’s courses are meticulously designed to provide bite-sized yet comprehensive information that are highly relevant to the industry’s needs. Through a combination of individual project work, peer-to-peer interaction, and practice and feedback, trainees can immediately apply the concepts learnt in class to their real world projects.

If you feel that you have not met the learning objectives at the end of the course, you are always welcomed to re-sit the course online without any additional cost. You will also have full access to the courseware online which you may review during and after the course, and post-training support to address any challenges you may face along your learning journey through consultation with subject matter experts.
