“I really enjoyed this course in terms of the level of detail, the bite-sized learning the multiple examples to help embed the learning. The demonstrations on dummy websites were really helpful. The course provided lots of information on the practicalities such as links to key resources for content creation, marketing, and equipment to produce the course. The group coaching was the icing on the cake. I loved that group members were given the opportunity to implement the strategies each week and submit these to receive feedback privately or with agreement were able to use the coaching session to help others learn from the feedback. I am much more confident about creating and marketing my course having gone through the course. Thanks, Aaron!”
