The courses in the Digital Marketing program are built – and constantly updated with – the most timely and tactical modern marketing learns, case studies, and action-oriented takeaways available today, and are designed to bring you immediately up to speed, no matter your skill level.

In other words, come as you are, and leave with immediately implementable skills, insights, and inspiration.

Whether you're a total newbie or a seasoned marketer, the Digital Marketing Certificate and the renowned courses within it are made to help you skill up, take action, and see results.

WHAT LEVEL OF SOCIAL OR DIGITAL MARKETING EXPERTISE IS THIS BUILT FOR?

Unsure of where to begin with the Digital Marketing courses or Social School as a whole?

Next to the 360 Series, the most common place our students begin their skill-building journey is with our Social Media Marketing Certificate program, either by diving into all 5 courses at once, or by starting with course #1 – Social Media Strategy, and adding on from there. Others prefer to go straight into the Digital Marketing program and level up the more technical side of their marketing skills, then circle back for more social media-specific training in the Social Media Marketing department afterwards.

Final tip: The 360 Series platform-specific learnings make a great side-by-side complement to our certificate programs, as the certificate courses are more overarching and strategy-focused in their teachings, and the 360's are very platform and tactic-specific. Take several 360's simultaneously or work through them sequentially, and prepare to execute like a champ.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT COURSE TO START WITH AND WHAT ORDER TO TAKE THEM IN?

Every course in the Digital Marketing program consists of 3 modules, with a guided learning video for each, and one master downloadable course workbook. The workbook contains a series of prompts, planning tools and jump-off points to work through as the course progresses, or at the completion of the learning videos, if that's your preference.

While the total instruction time for each course is generally 1.5 to 2 hours, how far you take the workbook exercises and the implementation of your learnings into your marketing program or current business model is completely up to you. However, our wholehearted recommend is this: dedicate an entire day for each course, or 6-8 hours in total.

This type of time block allows you to get the absolute most out of the course, and activate the 'ACE' model that every Social School program is built on: Actively watch the learning videos, Complete the workbook exercises, Execute and implement on the spot :)

how long does it TAKE TO COMPLETE each COURSE?

Be sure to whitelist hello@socialschool.io in your inbox so your next steps don't land in spam.

From there, simply stay tuned for your course welcome email and login instructions, which are sent your way immediately after your online purchase is completed!

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I REGISTER?

As with all courses, labs and tool kits purchased from Social School as of January 1, 2020 onwards, you have unlimited access to them for life. Not only does this allow you to complete the courses in your Academy library as fast or slow as you like, but it means you have forever access to your learning materials and downloads, as well as the continuous updates, edits and additions the course receives. In this sense, we invite you to buy it once, and brush up on it forever.

We're quite sure there's no industry evolving quite as quickly as digital marketing, and our job at Social School is to disseminate the top opportunities and tactics for today's marketing professionals and modern businesses, as quickly and effectively as we can.

There's never been a better time to dive in, build your course suite, bookmark your learning library, and watch your skills soar.

HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO ACCESS my COURSES?

If this is your first time investing in a Social School course or certificate program, you'll be sent an email inviting you to log into your shiny new Social School Academy virtual learning library the moment you register. If you don't see the email, please check your spam folder, and while you're at it, please be sure to add hello@socialschool.io to your list of safe senders.

If this isn't your first rodeo and you've purchased other courses or programs from us, your login will be the same, but voila! The suite of courses in your library will have grown. (Fine print: sometimes you need to log out and then back in again in order for your new purchase to show up.) Once inside your Social School Academy library, you will also be able to access your account settings, and update your email, password and other items anytime.

WHERE DO I GO TO ACCESS THE COURSE VIDEOS AND DOWNLOADS?

While the courses and tools within your Social School Academy library are best viewed on a desktop or laptop screen, you can absolutely consume them from a tablet or mobile device as well.

Do so either by opening the links to your custom library within a regular browser app on your phone or tablet (we recommend Google Chrome), or via the Kajabi app, available on both iOS and Android. Once you've downloaded the Kajabi app, simply log in as you normally would, and your learning library will appear.

Whether you're seated at your desk or growing your digital skills from the palm of your hand, we've got you covered.

What is the Canada Job Grant and how does it work?

The Canada Job Grant is part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to help ensure employees are being trained in high-demand areas.

In this case, that means timely social media, digital marketing and public relations skills that are imperative to the success of today’s businesses big and small.

1.

How does the Canada Job Grant Program benefit businesses?

By supporting and investing in the training of employee training and growth, the program is designed to help employers across Canada increase productivity, skills and retention.

2.

What is the grant amount?

For existing employees, employers are required to cover a minimum of one-third of direct training costs.

In select provinces, employers may be eligible for 100% coverage of training costs when creating a new role and hiring a new full-time employee.

Funds are available to an annual maximum of $10,000 per trainee and $300,000 per organization.

3.

What type of employers are eligible to access CJG funding for their employees?

Eligible employers differ from region to region, and we encourage you to research program qualifications in your jurisdiction.

Generally speaking, however, the following employers are eligible, if and when CJG funding is available:

• All private sector and non-profit employers
• First Nations and Métis Settlements
• Some Crown agencies in communities with a population of less than 100,000

4.

What are the qualifications for an employee? (i.e. 'trainee')

Eligible employees differ from region to region, and we encourage you to research program qualifications in your jurisdiction.

Generally speaking, however, the following employees are eligible, if and when CJG funding is available:

• New or existing employees that will fill current or future job vacancies
• Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or protected persons under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada) entitled to work in Canada who are currently residing in the province in which they’re applying

5.

I've done my research, reached out to the funding agency in my region, and I believe I am eligible. What's my next step?

That's great to hear! We encourage you to follow the government links and begin your funding application. If, as part of your application, you are required to submit a program quote from Social School, please send us a request via the Contact Form on our Support Hub, and include the following information:
• Your name, company name, work email address and direct phone number
• The name of the Social School program for which you are applying for funding, including intended start date
• A quick description of what you are being asked to submit so we can ensure to send you the proper document(s)

6.

*Please note that most Canada Job Grant applications require 30 days for processing, and do not allow you to register or purchase the program prior to receiving approval. Please also take into account our 5-day turnaround time on all custom quote requests.

‘Existing Employees’ are defined as current full-time employees, and ‘New Employees’ are those who’ve been employed for four weeks or less, and were not full-time employed elsewhere for 30 days or more prior to being hired.

funding faq's

The amount of funding available varies by province, and in some locations, depending on whether the trainee is a new or existing employee. Further, there are certain regions where funding is unavailable at a given time.

Are you Canadian and full-time employed? Our certificate programs qualify for the federal and provincially-funded Canada Job Grant program – a funding initiative where employers and government share the cost of employee training and skills development.
