Lectures are very focused on providing the content that will help pass the PMP certification. Great tips and short cuts which will be extremely helpful when writing the PMP exam. The focus of the course is always front and center. Every class focused on the PMP exam and what to consider when writing it. Very helpful.
I was looking for an online course on digital marketing and social media to augment my professional experience as a journalist. As I live an hour from Toronto, I was looking for an online learning experience but had traditionally chosen in-class continuing education programs. The first course in this certificate program — SCS 2875 Foundations of Digital Communications Strategy & Social Media — proved to me that online could be as engaging and rewarding with a similar level of interaction with both instructor and fellow students. The instructor, Donna Papacosta, was energetic and brought enthusiasm to the course each week. As a successful professional in the area of digital marketing, Donna is a communications consultant who works with large companies on digital programs, including corporate podcasts, an area I was interested in learning more about for application in the workplace. She brought real-world scenarios to class every week and encouraged discussion from all students in each session. One of the more challenging group projects was to produce a short video in one three-hour time period with four other classmates working together virtually. The primary blogging project was a great hands-on experience on audience engagement using social media. I continue to refer to the textbooks for this program and have recommended them and the course to others. I firmly believe I secured a job in a digital marketing team at a large emerging consumer goods company based on the knowledge gained from this course.
Growing up I always thought let me get done with education and the start working professionally. Working, I said let learn on the job and I did. I never thought I could go back to 'school'. I did, because the courses offered by UoT School of Continuing Studies are structured so well, making it easy for someone who is immersed in professional life to not only make time, but be able to engage, learn and execute practical assignments with real world application. I found these courses far more relevant and real worldy then my first round of education ! The instructor is fun and absolutely conncted to the real world in real time and that makes all the difference ! I aam definitely going back for my 3rd course soon.
I enrolled in Digital Marketing Management Certification from UofT SCS. Online registration was pretty easy. The best part of my courses was highly qualified and experienced instructors. Being in Digital Marketing, with basic knowledge and experience this certification helped me strengthen my skills. I highly recommend this certification to anyone looking to make a career in Digital Marketing.
I am a senior IT professional with over 20 years of experience in enterprise environments. One of the challenges that I faced was the trend of IT digital transformation, emerging and disruptive technologies. As open source tools became more popular and innovative it provided the flexible platform on creating applications and services. As a result, I needed to learn these various software tools. My challenge is that I didn't want to take single courses for each software tool which would be incredibly time intensive. I was really looking for the training that a boot camp environment would provide to allow me to simultaneously learn all these tools. As I was doing my research I came across this program and once I reviewed the syllabus I realized that this is what I needed to give me what I wanted in order to excel my career in this new digital age. I evaluated how the scheduling would impact my current lifestyle and found that the hours and commitment was manageable. This is why I chose this boot camp.I started this program in January 2019 and I was full of excitement! As I knew that once I acquired these skill sets, it would elevate my career. I quickly found that the program was quite intense. In addition, the instructors were extremely knowledgeable. My favourite part of this program is that everything we do is hands-on! We don't learn just from theory but work on things as we go. We did a lot of group projects that mimic real-life business cases, which made the program very relevant. I really enjoyed the facilities and environment of the learning space that we were situated in as students. It was very conducive to group learning--everyone was from diverse employment backgrounds, which made our skills really unique.I truly recommend this program for any senior IT person like myself that are looking for a refresher, skill updates and those who are looking at data analytics. This program provides you that one stop shop and the price is very fair! My advice is to commit the time, attend every class, review the assignments as much as possible, and look for YouTube videos for additional learning on each topic, as this will help a lot! If you put the time, your success would be unparalleled.
