TOP REVIEWS FROM ADVERTISING WITH META

by KDJun 26, 2021

Excellent content. The way the course is built up, gradually increasing the complexity is perfect for a strong learning. I have taken away a great deal of knowledge from this course particularly.

by KIDec 26, 2022

very complex especially to first time learners but the explanation and examples and walkthroughs created by our instructors made the entire course fun and a bit easy.

by KBMar 28, 2021

Very informative and easy to follow. Exercises are good. Would be useful to have a course manual that you could download at beginning to work through with the lessons.

by KBJul 31, 2022

As someone with advanced knowledge of using Facebook ads Manager for years now, I was able to learn things from the course that I have not known of in the past. Great Course!!
