Digital Marketing short course in Kenya – where to learn digital marketing
Without further ado, here are some of the best institutions that will train you in digital marketing in 6 months or less:
1. Kenya Online College
This is inarguably the leading digital marketing training institution in Nairobi, and Kenya at large.
Its trainers are industry professionals with years of experience in the digital marketing field.
Most importantly, they train using a full hands-on approach – you are trained using real-world projects from day one.
In addition, the trainers also give students projects to work on and build their digital marketing portfolio.
And, you are free to use this portfolio to market your skills.
To add to that, the institution has partnered with several local businesses that are looking for fresh digital marketing talent.
In other words, if you perform well, you are guaranteed of landing a job (in these businesses) upon graduation.
Buy, if you don’t like having a 9-5 job, Kenya Online College still has you sorted… In their digital marketing course, they also teach you how to make money online as a digital marketing freelancer.
Now, if you’re a busy professional or a campus student, you might know how hectic it can be if you add a class to your daily schedule.
But not at Kenya Online College. This is because they also have the option to learn on a part-time basis (3 hours/day, 3 days a week).
That being said, Kenya Online College teaches one of the most comprehensive digital marketing courses in Kenya.
