Foire Aux Questions

No. The course starts with absolute basics and gradually builds your skills through guided lessons, demos, and interactive activities. Even if you’ve never used a scheduling tool before, you’ll be able to follow every step.

Not at all. All required activities can be completed using Hootsuite’s free plan or trial. You’ll learn features accessible to beginners, without needing premium upgrades.

The course is designed to be completed in about 4 hours, but you can learn at your own pace. Some learners finish in a single sitting, while others spread it over a week for deeper practice.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead.
