These last few years I’ve completed several online certifications. One of my favorites is 42courses.
Some online courses can be tedious to finish but 42courses is different. They make me excited to power through my lessons!
I discovered 42courses through Cannes Lions. What made me curious was that they offer advertising and creativity-related courses taught by experts from the industry and backed by award-winning case studies.
Pretty cool, I thought.
42courses also partner with WARC, Ogilvy, Parsons etc., to offer interesting self-learning courses ranging from Digital Marketing and Storytelling to UX Design and Behavioral Economics. They even have a course on building yourself a happier life!
Since 2020, I’ve completed certificates in Storytelling (I highly recommend!), Copywriting and Digital Marketing.
My most recent course was UX Design which was so cool! I’m currently finishing a course in Service Design which has been great so far.
The courses are self-paced but they’re still engaging. Each lesson is bite-sized and each section has a forum where you can share your thoughts on the lesson. Also, there are tutorials and quizzes to progress each section. Good way to apply what you’ve learned!
I love how they provide references and reading materials, as well as incorporating videos in the lessons. And what’s super helpful are the notes they share after you complete each course!
BONUS!
While this isn’t a sponsored post, I’ve only now realized that you and I can both benefit somehow.
If you use my referral code (1071245-42) when you sign up on 42courses, you get a 10% discount off any course. In return, I can potentially get free courses (if I refer enough friends)! I honestly don’t care too much about the free courses, but I think it’s great that you can get that 10% off!
So, if you are looking for online courses that won’t bore you to death, do check out 42courses and level up your marketing game. And please tell me how it goes!
