101 Digital Marketing Courses & Resources
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:)
Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing - DMI
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!
