💬 Student experience
The certification provided me with a deeper understanding of marketing methods, with niche tactics to help my business stand out, lots of tools and things like automation to help someone like me with very little previous marketing knowledge or experience.
Dawn Morton-Young, Diverse leaders coach
Taking part in the course was absolutely brilliant. I've learned so much, from taking part in group work and activities we had to do. There's so much more marketing than ever thought possible - there is so much on offer in the world in terms of marketing, and it no longer needs to be a chore.
Marie Dryden, Foundation Manager D&AD
Having attended the Alt Marketing 6 week course, and gained my certification we would highly recommend it - Fab and the other teachers are not only extremely knowledgeable, they created an environment in which the whole cohort really bonded. It's been a few weeks now and I am still really missing my weekly sessions! - Cat Wildman GEC Co-Founder
Ashley M.
Ashley works for a finance company, one of two people in the marketing Department. His boss sponsored his seat for our Winter 2022 cohort, and below you can read more about his experience.
I really liked the SEO part of the course. The first thing I did was look at our website. I needed to change everything because I had a certain perception of what needed to be done. And it clarified that I was on the right track. I could help to build the SEO for the company. So my boss was really impressed by that. You find out new things and you just implement them straight away. I've learned how to present my ideas better as well, which has come across really well for the company and my boss and my colleague who they see a real change in my confidence in what I can do and what I do know as well.
