Expert Digital Marketing Course

Expert suits you if you already know the basics or work in marketing and want depth in paid media, analytics and automation. It is the specialist path, with over 150 lessons.

If you are brand new and want a lighter start, Essentials ($499) covers the foundations. If you are preparing for a first marketing role or a first client, Deluxe ($799) may be enough. Not sure? Our course finder asks three questions and suggests a course.

No. Expert covers the foundations before it moves on to paid media, analytics and automation, so you can start here with no experience. If you have done some free courses, study or marketing work, the early lessons will go quickly.

You need a computer or phone, an internet connection and about 20 minutes at a time. You don't need a business of your own.

No course can promise that, and we won't. What Expert does is teach the practical skills marketing roles and clients ask for, in more depth than our other courses, and give you work you can show: campaign plans, builds and reports across paid media, analytics and automation. You still need to apply, interview and build experience.

We recommend pairing it with the free Google and HubSpot certificates, and doing real work for a local club, charity or friend's business while you learn.

Expert has over 150 lessons of about 20 minutes each, roughly 52 hours of study in total. At three to four lessons a week you finish in about nine to twelve 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.

Expert is a one-off payment of $999, with no subscription. No GST is charged. You get over 150 written lessons, 12 months access from the date of purchase, priority tutor support from Adrian Prokopiec, who runs digital marketing for two national brands, and a Certificate of Completion when you finish.

The certificate confirms you completed the course. It is not accredited and is not an NZQA-approved qualification. You can start the first lesson within minutes of paying.

Every lesson in Expert is written by Adrian Prokopiec, who runs digital marketing for two national brands. The lessons come from real campaigns and real platforms, not textbook theory.

Priority tutor support is from Adrian too, for your full 12 months access, so the person answering your question is the person who wrote the lesson.

Because we have no campus, no fixed classes, no cohort to run and no accreditation costs. You pay $999 once for the lessons and the tutor support, and nothing else.

A polytechnic or NZQA-approved course or a bootcamp gives you things we don't, such as a recognised qualification, StudyLink eligibility, live teaching or career services, and some subsidised polytechnic programmes cost less than our courses. See our fair comparison of the options before you choose.

You're covered by a 30 day money-back guarantee from the date of purchase. If Expert is not right for you, email [email protected] within 30 days of the date of purchase and we will refund your payment in full.

That gives you time to work through the first lessons and see whether the format suits you. See the guarantee page for details.
