The course was really interesting. Because they started with the basics, it was really understandable. Furthermore, the assignments helped me to put the theory into practice which was really helpful.

Maybe I'm judging it too harshly, because it IS targeted to beginners. I found it overly simplistic. In the end, I didn't bother watching the videos because the assignments could be easily done in under 5 minutes without watching the content. I found the second week in particular very redundant. Most people already know about Facebook, Instagram, etc. It was nothing new. Same for the final week. I honestly didn't bother watching the videos at all and simply took the test, which I had 100% success at, because it was that easy.

I'd personally only take this course for the certificate that it gives. It doesn't have much value beyond that.

The course is excellent. I just have one suggestion The peer-graded assignments should be cross-checked and detailed evaluation with examples should be provided so we can check our mistakes. Thanks

I was actually able to help fine-tune my business proposal and gave me great insights with social media marketing strategies tailored to your type of business. Would definitely recommend you do it to increase your knowledge and business production. The students are amazing and gave great reviews and help motivate you to do more. 5+ Star

I learned a lot from this course. It explains the basics (which I knew already) but they expand it and give you proper tips to plan out your marketing plan. It is good to go back and learn it again.
