Testimonials

Course Testimonial Quote Icon
“The Digital Advertising course was a good course covering the various aspects of digital advertising, with concise information and hands-on sessions within a short duration of 2 days. Through this course, I have developed a better understanding of the various tools and platforms used in digital advertising.”

Wenyi Saw, Adidas

Course Testimonial Quote Icon

“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!”
