This course helped me a lot in understanding the pros of SM advertising, how to collaborate better with a team and how to write an effective creative brief. I also enjoyed this course because as a student I feel engaged and learn better when course material includes videos vs. 100% reading material. Great for SM starters. The course material is well structured and weekly assignments manageable after work. I give it two thumbs up.

I have learned quite a lot in this course. I would like to finish the other courses before applying for a job, but I do practice these skills in my present job. The instructor was clear and concise, not wordy. The class was a breeze to get through, which is great for someone with a job or other life obligations. I especially liked that when I lagged, I was able to reset the class and continue to finish.

This course is excellent in almost every aspect, except one - and that is the quality of transcripts. They have mistakes galore, and it's almost to the point that one cannot trust the transcript and have to check with the video. I think the quality of the transcripts has been an issue in this whole program (all four of the six that I have completed so far).

Thought the videos were short, this was the most challenging course I've done so far because of the amount of work you have to put in for the creative brief and creative ad. I learned a lot about how to structure my instructions and make sure my details are clear so that the Ads can be designed with the set goals in mind.

Useful course, valuable and very good. A person knows the basic structure of advertising on social media. It is a long course (5 weeks), but it is great value. I liked the exams very much, some are difficult and long, but from this difficulty you get the benefit. Thank you

Awesome, I believe the although the data laws, privacy protection & advertising policies was boring, it is the most crucial module to learn, as in the real world, this is what you will bump into most while getting your adverts approved.
