My colleague and I did the 1 day online Google Ads training course and found it very helpful and informative - I would highly recommend it. Our trainer was Martin Woodfield and he was brilliant at explaining things in a very clear and concise way. We were able to tailor the course to suit each individual's skillset and discuss our business requirements and objectives with Martin who then gave great insights into how we can better utilise Google's tools and features as well as highlighting what was working well for us and areas we needed to improve on

I would highly recommend the one day Google Ads Course, very informative and you definitely come away knowing more about this subject. The Google ads pack you receive after the course is very beneficial. Martin was very helpful and certainly knows everything that needs to be known about running and managing Google Ads campaigns. Also it was no issue for him to have a quick 1 to 1 chat after the course about any queries i had.

Course Reviews

I'd highly recommend the Google Ads day course ran by Martin, it's jam-packed with tips, tricks, and hands-on tasks tailored to your business, without feeling overwhelming. As someone with little experience of the platform and absolutely no experience of running a campaign, I feel much more confident in taking what I learnt from the course and putting it into practice.
