Student reviews
I first took the social media marketing course and am now taking the creative copywriting course. Both teachers have been amazing, very knowledgeable and experienced in their fields which is very helpful. I would highly recommend taking courses with ICS.
Dustin Nelson
I liked the course, I was very pleased with the presentation of information, there is practically no unnecessary chatter, an individual approach, a lot of practice (various homework). Social media marketing certification is the main plus of this course. And after the whole course, I launched my advertising and made a profit, so I never regretted the training.
