Testimonials

Senior Marketer, Yong Hir, shares how Equinet Academy’s Certified Digital Marketing Strategist Course has helped him to build a strong foundation in Digital Marketing and learn new skills to stay relevant in the marketing sector.

“I attended a few Digital Marketing classes under different institutions. Equinet Academy is my best learning partner in the field. The Certified Digital Marketing Strategist course agenda and contents were well thought through, with practical exercises for me to do during the class. Their trainers are approachable and willing to teach/guide, even after the classes. They offer free refresher classes and workshops for their students too, ensuring their students are well equipped with the acquired skills to perform our work/profession well. I have benefited a lot from their training. I have applied the skills in my course of work better e.g. briefing my agencies on the media buy, SEO and using the Analytics to draw insights for our Digital advertising.
While learning from Equinet, I have made many good friends like Dylan, Walter, the other course-mates. We even have our own chat group to discuss topics on Digital Marketing and update each other on the new stuff.”

“The course led by Equinet Academy was extremely well curated and provided in-depth analysis and comprehensive coverage to understanding the underlying mechanics of digital marketing. The course was broken down into digestible bits and supported with hands-on activities to help students gain deeper perspectives and practical knowledge of digital marketing and the likes.

“Digital Marketing Strategy was the first course I took at Equinet Academy. I was lucky to have Zhong Li to be the first trainer to catapult me into pursuing the Certified Digital Marketing Strategist Programme. Zhong Li was a good listener and has a friendly demeanour which makes him extremely approachable as a teacher and mentor. I enjoyed his sharing of real-life work experiences and how he kept his lessons fun but effective at the same time. Within months of completing the programme at Equinet Academy, I have also successfully made a career pivot and am currently putting my new skills into practice.”
Marjorie Sim

“Completing all the course modules and becoming a Certified Digital Marketing Strategist has helped me achieve my goal of working in a digital marketing agency. The digital marketing strategy and implementation plan (capstone project) I completed through the close guidance and patience of my assigned mentor enabled me to secure multiple digital marketing job interviews even though I did not have prior experience in this industry. My mentor would make time to sit down with me to discuss how to improve the plan and shared which tools I could use to retrieve the data. I would sincerely like to thank the administrative staff for being so helpful throughout this journey and all the trainers for selflessly imparting their wealth of knowledge to us and providing unwavering support even after the programme. I strongly recommend anyone who is keen to learn more about digital marketing to learn with Equinet.”
Tiffany Lim

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

What is the difference between online classroom and face-to-face traditional classroom?

Typically, in a traditional classroom, classes are conducted with 1 trainer to 20 – 25 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. 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.

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

Is there a timeframe to complete all 6 modules in order to attain the full qualification?

There is no timeframe or time limit. However, the recommended timeframe to complete all 6 modules is within 6 months to a year, and the average time to complete it is 1.5 months to 3 months.

What if I have taken only one module separately 2 years ago?

If you have taken the Search Engine Optimisation course 2 years ago for example, you may take the other 5 core modules individually:

1. Digital Marketing Strategy
2. Content Marketing
3. Digital Advertising
4. Social Media Marketing
5. Digital Marketing Analytics

Upon completing the 5 remaining modules and an optional Capstone Practicum Project (Develop Holistic Digital Marketing Strategy and Implementation Plan), you will be awarded with the Certified Digital Marketing Strategist qualification.

How is this programme different from other digital marketing courses in the market?

Unlike other certification courses that require months of commitment to complete all modules in a fixed sequence, this programme consists of 6 individual modules that you can take up at your own pace. There isn’t any fixed sequence, as each module is holistic on its own. However, the recommended sequence is:

1. Digital Marketing Strategy
2. Content Marketing
3. Search Engine Optimisation
4. Digital Advertising
5. Social Media Marketing
6. Digital Marketing Analytics

At the end of the programme, you will develop a holistic digital marketing project plan that will aid you in your job seeking and career progression.

What courses should I progress to after this course?

You may take elective modules should you wish to dive deeper into specific platforms and digital marketing disciplines.

Can’t I learn everything online?

No doubt there are tons of free information online – free tutorials, guides, and online courses that you can gain useful knowledge from. However, the intangible benefits of attending face to face training include real time consultation with an industry expert, peer to peer learning and interaction, and hands-on practical learning sessions. This will enable you to take away actionable strategies you can implement right after the training.

If I have specific questions relating to my digital marketing campaigns, can I consult the trainer?

Yes. You may consult the trainer during class and after class. Signing up for this course gains you access to post-training support.

Do I have to prepare anything before attending the course?

Course materials, a Windows laptop, and WIFI connection will be provided. You may wish to bring a notebook to take notes and a jacket as the room may be cold.

Are there any funding or government subsidies for this course?

Yes, please use the funding calculator tool to check your funding eligibility.
