Skills Bootcamps - Digital Marketing

Are you looking to improve your digital marketing skills, or allow your business to benefit from an enhanced digital marketing strategy?

Would new digital marketing skills help you to gain a new role within the organisation you currently work for, or begin a new career in this lucrative sector?

Digital marketing holds a wealth of opportunities for businesses and the self-employed to increase their turnover and keep up with ever-changing trends, as well as providing unlimited career options for those who possess these increasingly in-demand skills.

What to Expect

Skills Bootcamps in Digital Marketing are free to the learner, flexible courses of eight weeks, giving people the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills and fast-track to an interview with an employer.
