So what’s on offer? I have listed courses I have completed or in the process of doing and what I thought of them and other courses I’d like to add to my list soon! I have also listed a few other resources such as tutorials/webinars I recommend you check out..
The good news… the majority of the courses are FREE or heavily subsided if you are unemployed , so all you need is TIME:)
I recently sat exams and passed the on-line exam - hurray!
Cost : 1190 Euros ( Check website for offers)
Meaty course covering all areas of digital marketing such as content marketing, SEO, Social Media Marketing, Digital Marketing Strategy, Google analytics and much more. Beauty is that the whole course is online, and you can do it at your own pace .
There are
lot’s of quizzes to check if you understood the material , all multiple choice, it’s the actual course material you need to work through to get the finer detail. I especially found the very hands on exercises for Google Analytics and how to set up ads on the various social media channels very helpful.
Exam is pretty tough so revision is a must but doable!
26 modules taking you through the basics of Digital marketing with a focus on Google’s products and E-Commerce. I have dipped into this course on and off and may still decide to take the exam to get Google Certified and stay up to date as things change soo fast!
Hubspot Academy - 19 modules - covering every aspect of Digital Marketing, CRM, Content Marketing, SEO - lot’s of videos and exercises, followed by multiple choice exam! I am about to resit the email marketing module, as you’ll only pass if your score is 80% or higher. Definately a good investment ! Cost :Free
