FROM MMC: WHY DO SOME MARKETING COURSES AND QUALIFICATIONS COST MORE THAN OTHERS?
Price can be a significant factor for many learners – whether they are funding a course themselves or if it is being subsidised by an employer. But price can be a hugely confusing aspect of comparing different course options.
In this new post we take an objective view of why prices differ across providers and offer EIGHT areas you need to be assessing BEFORE making your course decision.
ICYMI: NEED COACHING RATHER THAN QUALIFICATIONS?
We have hundreds of 1:1 discovery calls every month as people inquire about our training and qualification products.
And we’ve realised that a good number don’t actually want or need a qualification.
They want the knowledge. They want the sounding board. They want to know they are making the right decisions and investments.
So we soft launched a new MMC offer last week.
Check it out here if you missed it.
AND FINALLY
IF YOU WERE RE-NAMING FACEBOOK GROUP, WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT?
