The class was well organized with valuable materials provided. The modules were easy to understand and provided information that was easy to understand yet comprehensive. Everyone involved in teaching the lessons provided a clear and in-depth explanation of the material. The examples shared were detailed, and their connection to the topic was more than appropriate. They were supportive throughout the class and responded to any question immediately. Their commitment to helping learners grasp the knowledge was evident. It was not difficult to download the apps needed and open an account at all. What impressed me most was their genuine desire to teach. That came through in every interaction, especially the virtual classes. Their professionalism and commitment to providing the best class possible is why I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to move forward in their career.

I recently completed the Zipline Digital Marketing course and it exceeded all my expectations. The content was comprehensive, covering everything from SEO and social media strategies to email marketing and analytics. The lessons were practical and easy to follow, with real-world examples that made the concepts stick. The instructors were knowledgeable and always available for support. Since completing the course, I’ve already seen a noticeable improvement in my business marketing efforts. Highly recommended for anyone looking to boost their digital marketing skills.

I really liked how the modules were setup. It was easy to understand and follow all. The videos and transcripts were great to explain the subject matter. I liked how the end of the module had a Quiz, to test your knowledge and also see what you need to work on. The playbook assignment helped me see how to use what I learned in the module in a "real world" situation. The certification test was challenging. I had to make my own study guides which is fine, but I wish they explained that more in the course guidelines. I also know that Goggle is always changing content, so I am glad that we could take it again. I am very excited to utilize all the tools that Career Hub has to offer! I think that is a very valuable part of the course. I am ready to use my new knowledge to grow my business and get new clients.

I recently completed a Digital Marketing course through Ziplines and had a great experience. The course was well-organized, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The relevant content provided a good mix of practical skills and theoretical knowledge. The live instructor, Kori, was enthusiastic and made each session engaging. Even the prerecorded segments were interesting and well-done. The Learner Success Advocates were always available to help or answer any questions, which made the learning process smooth and stress-free. Overall, it was a positive experience that I would recommend.

I cannot say enough positive things about this 10-week digital marketing course! From start to finish, the program was thoughtfully designed, easy to follow, and packed with actionable insights. Each week built seamlessly on the last, covering everything from SEO and paid ads to content strategy, email marketing, and analytics. The instructors explained complex concepts in a clear, approachable way and always provided real-world examples that I could immediately apply to my own projects. The assignments and case studies were incredibly valuable—they forced me to think strategically and helped me build a portfolio of work I’m proud of. What truly stood out was the balance of strategy and execution. It wasn’t just theory; I walked away with a solid toolkit of templates, best practices, and step-by-step processes I can use right away. The support and feedback throughout the course made me feel like I was never on my own. After completing the program, I feel so much more confident in my ability to design and manage full digital campaigns. I’ve already seen an improvement in my results, and I know the skills I gained here will continue to pay off. If you’re looking for a comprehensive, well-structured, and inspiring digital marketing course, this is it. Highly recommend!

First, I loved the tradesman ethic in the course. I enjoyed how practical the lessons were and that they were taught by men and women who worked in the marketing trade. Second, the way the modules were organized was brilliant. Starting with the cornerstones, then the most essential skills, leading to the more advanced skills. The live lectures and the online community were great. Besides the connection to other students, it was good to talk to the teachers about more advanced concepts and learn from their experiences.

A busy business owner gets it done. I loved the class and was able to complete it despite my busy schedule. I took this class to help me with my business, and it did! In fact, so much so that the increased revenue from what I learned and improved on my sites, paid for this class within 3 weeks. I keep improving every week. Take it; you won’t be sorry.
