“This course has been very insightful and very practical! Thank you especially to Mr John Tay for his expertise and for guiding us thoroughly and carefully step by step. Before coming for this course, I did not have much background or understanding behind Facebook analytics and Facebook Advertising. However, this course has enabled me not to only learn about the theoratical aspects of Facebook advertising but also the guided procedures on how to go about creating campaigns etc. Just within a few days, I have a better understanding to what this entails and am excited to learn more. Thank you Mr John :)”

“The course and trainer, John have exceeded my expectations of the course! I really like that it was a super hands on course on navigating through Facebook in Ads creation. John was extremely patient in handling the tech issues the class face or the questions we have. On top of that, John was not shy of sharing some of the best practices that he has observed over the years in ads writing, how to get the most out the ads. I would highly recommend for anyone who is keen in marketing your brand or product to sign up for this course!”
