Took the Digital Marketing bootcamp in February 2023 with Charlene as my instructor, and James was the TA! Both of them were helpful and informative throughout. Lessons were well structured, productive and engaging. There was a lot of hands-on to ensure we understood and could apply the concepts well. Highly recommend Vertical Institute and this course for anyone interested!
