What others say.
Great course, very informative and interesting tutor, really enjoyed it!
Excellent presentation, and very engaging training for an entry level course when you have no marketing experience.
The course gave me a great introduction to marketing – with lots of opportunities for practical exercises using examples from our own workplaces. I found the course was very relevant to my professional role.
Marketing Course: Level 1 was very informative. The course was a great introduction into marketing and really laid the foundations for understanding how marketing works.
A very informative course and very hands-on – will make it easy to apply back at work.
Great course! Really happy with all the training we’ve done at CCE.
We had a great tutor and the course was tailored to suit each participant in the room. I am now interested in attending further marketing training through the University of Sydney.
This course was excellent, I would thoroughly recommend it!
