What is involved in the Skills Bootcamp?

Attendees will spend approximately one day (or two half-days) a week over 16 weeks completing the course. This is made up of a total of 100 hours of live, tutor-led learning. You will have to complete one group assignment, and a multiple-choice assessment.

Who is this course for?

Anyone who works in marketing and requires additional digital marketing skills. Or you may be someone from outside the marketing team who will take on digital marketing responsibility. You must live and/or work in England, be 19 or over, and have the right to work in the UK.

How much does it cost?

With the majority of the cost being subsidised by the government, you and your organisation can make major savings on your marketing training.

SMEs (organisations with less than 250 employees) pay only £296 of the total course fee of £2969. That's a 90% saving!

Meanwhile, larger corporations pay only £888, that's still a 70% saving!
