Attendees comments

"During my parental leave, I took the opportunity of the distance learning course to become an online marketer to bring myself up to date in preparation for re-entry, to exchange ideas with experts and to improve my skills. The agenda reflects the natural everyday life of online marketing and I had the opportunity to immerse myself in all areas. A course that is suitable both as a basis and for refreshing knowledge. Thanks to the self-study units, I was able to organize my time flexibly and adapt it to my everyday life as a mom. Ideal - at my own pace!"
