Course Description
This Website Optimisation (Conversion Rate Optimisation) course will transform you into a data-driven conversion rate specialist.
Companies globally are spending almost $3.03 billion in advertising dollars. But many are leaking revenue and wasting money with their advertising/marketing efforts because of poor and inefficient websites.
It doesn’t matter how much ad dollars and promotions you do if your website is underperforming.
To improve website ROI and performance, you’ll need to implement a methodical process called Conversion Rate Optimisation.
It is a process that allows you to optimise your on-site goals by running data-driven experiments to remove friction and increase conversions.
This helps you to increase qualified leads from existing website traffic, improve prospect retention and most importantly, close more sales online.
Sign up for this course if you:
- Have been studying your analytics reports month after month, but can’t understand why your traffic isn’t converting – Learn how and what to analyse in order to spot and fix any high friction elements
- Need to optimise your landing page conversions, but are unsure where to begin.
- Are not getting positive returns for your paid advertising campaigns – Doubling your conversion rates means reducing your ad spend
- Don’t know how to read your reports nor identify gaps in your conversion funnels – Address these gaps and achieve quick wins to boost your conversions

FAQs
Questions? Check out the frequently asked questions below.
What is Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) and why is it important?
Conversion Rate Optimisation is the process of optimisations your website or ad experience to get more visitors to take specific actions. (i.e buying your product, filling your web form, Adding to cart and more).
Do I need a technical background for this course?
While knowledge of Google Analytics, psychology and digital psychology is useful, these are not pre-requisites other than basic computer knowledge. In-depth CRO concepts will be covered in this course and you’ll be able to execute without prior technical background.
Is this course hands-on?
Yes! You will be working on real-life case studies through group activities. While there will be fundamental theory and concepts, majority of the course is activity-based. You will get to explore industry-recognised CRO tools, checklist, guides and templates.
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.
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.
Will there be video recordings of the session made available for reference after class?
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide video recordings of the class due to PDPA regulations (Personal Data Protection Act). However, all courseware and e-learning videos are accessible online via the learning management system for 3 years. You may also sign up for a complimentary online refresher course for up to 3 years post-training.
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.

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.
