Many graduates take both: the course for the certification and capability, a Career Programme for the portfolio case study and placement. Speak to a course consultant about the combined pathway.

Learners Review
What Our Trainees Say
Experience matters, discover honest feedback and stories from learners who shaped their future with us.
“Before the course, I wasn’t very sure of what type of KPIs to track for my campaign, and I wasn’t very confident in building my own digital strategy without assistance from my colleagues. I was also very new to SEM and had no prior experience with it.
However, after attending the course and doing the assessment, I have gained more knowledge in how Google search and display ads work, and the whole mechanics behind it. I now have more confidence in building my own digital marketing plan and I have more interest to learn and improve in my SEM skills.
Overall, course experience was good and the trainer was very engaging. Thank you for the great session!”
