Exceptional Learning Experiences!

Exceptional learning experiences. I have taken several Boot Camp Digital workshops, and the SEO Certification course. I have found all of them valuable to broaden my understanding of digital marketing and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In particular, I like that there are reference materials, as well as additional on-screen text highlights because they help reinforce what I saw and heard in the videos. As reinforcement, I have even created a folder of some of the quick reference materials for easy review on demand.

I Recommend Taking These Courses Instead of College!

I took the social media marketing and digital marketing certifications. The courses were the best I’ve ever took. I have 38 certifications in all, but I loved these. Just the context and breadth alone is amazing. They put a lot of effort in to make these courses. I recommend taking them instead of going to college to learn from someone that has never done it.
