It doesn’t matter what level of knowledge you have. Our course will take you through the basics of advanced digital strategy.  This digital marketing course is suited to anyone looking for a qualification in Digital Marketing.

Each week you will receive a 1-day live lesson, 1-2 hours of live webinars, plus self-service webinars and access to other Anicca resources.

Working with Employers

We want to hear from any employers that have staff that would benefit from the course, or that may be interested in offering our learners a job interview or career opportunity.
