Google Ads (AdWords) Advanced

Great trainer, knowledge and insights.

Trusted Customer 1 March, 2024

Google Ads (AdWords) Standard

It was a good course, I just wished they went into more details/technical aspects.

Trusted Customer 24 November, 2023

Google Ads (AdWords) Standard

The session was great - really informative. I have often found in the past that marketing training sessions didn't give me what I needed due to the fact that I don't work for a sector that markets saleable products. However, this wasn't the case at all, and I have come away with some useful tops and info. So much so that I intend to book in a more advanced session. Great venue too!

Frequently asked questions

  • Is this course suitable for beginners, or is it for more advanced Google Ads users?

    We have two levels of Google Ads courses focussed on Google Search Ads - standard and advanced. We’d recommend beginners start with the standard course, where you’ll learn the fundamentals of setting up campaigns. The advanced course will then take you to the next level in your understanding of Google Ads strategy and delivery.

  • Are there any prerequisites or prior knowledge required to enrol in the course?

    There are no prerequisites for the standard Google Ads course. The advanced course assumes a degree of knowledge and that you will have had at least some experience setting up campaigns in the Google Ads platform.

  • Can the course help me prepare for the Google Ads certification exams?

    Our Google Ads courses are not directly focussed on preparing you for Google’s Ad Certification, however they will certainly provide you with most of the skills and knowledge required. If this is your goal, we would recommend taking both the standard and advanced courses.

  • Will I receive a certification upon completion of the course?

    On completion, you will be able to add a LinkedIn certification badge that will verify you have passed the course. It also provides a great stepping stone towards Google Ads Certification.

  • Can I access the course materials and resources after completing the training?

    Our full training slides are always provided to those who sit our courses. These will include links to examples, tools and other resources discussed during the sessions.

  • Can the training be tailored to meet specific business needs or requirements?

    Our Google Ads course can all be delivered privately and we can create bespoke content to meet your precise needs. Courses can also be delivered either online or in person at your officers or ours. Speak to our sales team to get more details on private course options.
