No. Our program was designed for beginners in mind.
However, we do recommend that you should have at least a Facebook and/ or Instagram account for platform familiarity purposes.
1. Lessons on the Learning Portal
You will learn by accessing weekly lectures via our learning portal. Unlike typical 2-hour long lectures, our lectures are in the form of bite-sized videos to help maximize knowledge absorbtion and maintain your attention.
2. Hands-on Learning
We believe in hands-on learning. We encourage you to share your work with us and we will be happy to give you pointers and feedback!
3. Monthly Learning Meet Up with the Instructor
Every month there will be a meet up with the instructors to talk about different topics of marketing and strategies. Come by to the physical event or tune in live.
4. Discussions with Your Peers
Our online community portal gives you the chance to mingle with your peers. You won't be learning alone, and you'll definitely make new friends.
Nope, this course offers more than just any other online courses.
This course progresses on a weekly basis, you can follow through and learn the topics weekly by watching the lectures, and completing the exercises.
Apart from that, we will be having monthly learning meet ups (onsite) where you get to learn and asking questions on various topics and strategies. This is a great time to meet new friends and interact with instructors and peers.
Unlike online courses where you learn by yourself, you will get an immersive experience as you progress through the course.
A laptop with Google Chrome
A working credit/debit card (To activate your Facebook and Google Ads account).
A business idea that you would want to work on. Due to the nature of this Quantum Degree, we recommend that the learning is accompanied with a business idea.
If you don't have a business idea yet, don't worry! You can use an existing business that your friends/ family are running as training grounds for digital marketing (with their permission, of course).
You should be dedicating around 10 hours per week. Quite often, people would take more time to complete the topics as the exercises would take considerable effort on your end.
To get real world experience in digital marketing, we encourage students to launch their own campaigns on various platforms like Google Adwords, Google Display Network, Facebook and Instagram Ads.
When you run live campaigns, besides getting a better feel of how these platforms work, you'll also gain experience on analysing and optimising your campaigns. The amount spent on these platforms will be entirely dependent on your budget, and you can go as low as RM5/day for your campaign duration.
We also understand that some students may feel uncomfortable with spending money to run live campaigns on these platforms, so it is optional (though we really encourage you to run live campaigns to get the most out of the course).
Yes, you should! This is the time to meet the instructor and tap into the instructor's mind on various digital marketing strategies.
You will be notified on the details of the monthly meet up sessions. If you can't make it physically, we will be broadcasting it LIVE and you can join us virtually.
You get to message instructors on the online community portal at anytime. During the monthly meet ups, you will get to ask questions and network too.
