Is this course accredited?

No, and that's a deliberate choice. 20 Minute Marketing is not a registered private training establishment, and our courses are not approved or accredited by NZQA. Accreditation adds cost, and that cost would put practical digital marketing education out of reach for many people, especially young people starting out. It is also slow. The New Zealand Diploma in Business (Level 5), which includes the marketing strand, was last reviewed in August 2025, isn't due for review again until September 2030, and its marketing outcomes don't name a single digital channel, while Google, Meta and the AI tools change every few months. We update our lessons when the platforms change, and every lesson is written by someone who runs digital marketing for two national brands. If you need a qualification on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework, a polytechnic or another NZQA-approved provider is the right choice. If you want current, practical skills, a portfolio you can show an employer or client, and a Certificate of Completion, you're in the right place. Many learners also collect free certificates from Google and HubSpot alongside our courses.

Is Deluxe the right course for me?

Deluxe suits you if you are preparing to apply for a first marketing role or take on a first client. You finish able to plan, build and report on a campaign across several channels. If you are brand new and want a lighter start, Essentials ($499) covers the foundations. If you want depth in paid media, analytics and automation, choose Expert ($999). Not sure? Our course finder asks three questions and suggests a course.

How long does Deluxe take to complete?

Deluxe has 100 lessons of about 20 minutes each, roughly 33 hours of study in total. At three lessons a week you finish in about eight months. It is self-paced, with no intakes, set class times or deadlines, so you can go faster or slower as long as you finish inside your 12 months access from the date of purchase.
