What You’ll Learn
Want a portfolio & career placement?
Pair this course with an Equinet Career Programme
This course builds your capability and certifies you. It does not include a project-based capstone, client placement, or career coaching. Our Career Programmes are built for that: three months on a real project brief, your own product idea or a host organisation, with dedicated career support and mentorship throughout.
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.
“SEO is a subject that is technical and dry, but not in this SEO training class. The trainer did not use many technical or big words. My non-technical course mates were able to understand. The trainer used simple illustrations and examples to help my course mates and me understand better. The trainer kept repeating the key concepts to ensure we registered them into our memory muscle.
During our practical sessions, the trainer’s instructions were direct and clear. Each action was explained together with the expected outcome, and the class pacing was good. Many thanks to the trainer for helping to kick-start my SEO learning journey.”

Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) focuses on making a direct answer easy to locate and understand. Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) focuses on making entities, evidence, authorship and sources clear enough for generative answer systems to retrieve and evaluate. The course does not teach learners to build three duplicate pages.
No. The course teaches methods for improving usefulness, eligibility, answer readiness, source readiness and measurement. Search rankings, answer placements and citations are selected by external systems and cannot be guaranteed.
