      FAQs

      Do I need a Facebook account for this course?
      Yes. You will be required to have an active Facebook account before the course starts.
      Do I need to have a Facebook page?
      You do not need to create a Facebook page prior to attending the course as during the course you will be taught, step by step, how to create a Facebook page.
      Can I run ads for Instagram after attending this course?
      Yes, this course covers running advertisements on Instagram and you will most certainly be able to run ads for Instagram after attending this course.
      Do I need to have a business/ personal website for the course?
      No, you do not need to have a business or a personal website for this course as you will be running ad simulations for a dummy website. However, if you do have an existing website you would like to run ads for, you may simulate running ads for it during the hands-on practical sessions.
      How is this course different from the social media marketing course offered by Equinet Academy?

      This course focuses primarily on the Facebook platform and goes in-depth into the various features used by marketers (Ads, Events, Groups, Pages, Marketplace, Offers).

      The WSQ Social Media Marketing Course covers a comprehensive overview of various popular social media platforms and how to develop and implement a social media marketing strategy.

      How much does it cost to advertise on Facebook?

      The fundamentals of Facebook advertising is based on an “Auction Model”. What this means is that you are essentially competing with other people that are advertising on Facebook (also known as “Advertisers”), and the highest bid wins. On average, what we have seen is that the CPC (cost per click) cost for Facebook advertising ranges from $0.23 SGD to $5.15 SGD per click. Similarly, the CPM (cost per 1000 impression) cost for Facebook advertising ranges from $2.07 SGD to $59.72 SGD per CPM.

      So the short answer is that the cost of advertising on Facebook really depends on many different factors. There’s no single fixed cost figure that you can accurately benchmark with.

      Read this article to understand the factors involved that might affect the costs of advertising on Facebook.

      Are there any pre-requisites or minimum entry requirements?
      Trainees should be proficient in web surfing and be able to write and converse in English.
      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.

      As there will be WSQ assessments conducted in this course, you are required to bring along your NRIC or any form of photo identification for ID verification purposes.

      Are there any funding or government subsidies for this course?

      You may be eligible for up to 70% SkillsFuture subsidies. For funding information, please see the course funding section on this page.

      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.
