Ben Turner | PPC Consultant
Great course, all info relevant and up to date, which is often the problem with other courses. The layout and structure of the course is easy to follow.
Darren has a great style of teaching, giving clear and detailed explanations on what can be an overwhelming and complex topic – Google Ads!
If you're a business owner looking to run your own ads, it's a no-brainer investment. Trying to do it alone without this course will see you wasting more money than the cost of this course and some of your time.
Dre Richmond | Marketing Manager
After getting a masters in Digital Marketing in 2018 (i.e. plus all the Certifications you can think of) and working on PPC/SEM campaigns in the corporate world, I can truthfully say the course has been the best training on Google Ads.
During the course, I said multiple times that I would've invested my $30k student loan in this program rather than my degrees!
I became confident in sharing Google Ads recommendations with my peers on the job about Google Ads and deliver them results because I was able to understand the training and get Darren's assistance in those areas I was once unclear about.
