Who it's for
Who this academy is for
We built the program for people who are just getting into marketing.
College
Marketing students
You study marketing, business or a related major and want the practical skills your classes don't cover.
First steps
People who know the buzzwords
You've heard of SEO, Google Ads and social media but never had a chance to do the work. We teach it from the ground up.
Career change
Motivated beginners
You don't have marketing experience yet, but you're ready to put in 3 months of steady work to get it.
Straight talk
This course takes consistency
Over 3 months, you'll get about 65 assignments, each with a deadline: something to write, prepare or hand in on a set day. This isn't a course you can watch on autopilot.
That's exactly why the academy works as a filter. People who hand in their work on time and never miss a deadline prove they're reliable through what they do, not what they say. Those people, with a strong score, are the ones who qualify for work in the Marketers.com network.
- No empty promises.
- A fair trade: you put in steady work, we give you the knowledge and a shot at real projects.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers about cost, time and what you get after the course.
01Is the course really free?
Yes. The Marketers.com academy is completely free. You don't pay for lessons, assignments, mentoring or the certificate.
02How long does the course take, and how much time per week?
The program runs for 3 months, or 13 weeks. Depending on your path, you'll complete 63 or 68 assignments with deadlines, about 5 a week: 2 or 3 lessons to read, each with a short quiz, and 2 or 3 hands-on assignments. Plan on 3 to 7 hours a week. You get 3 days from the day an assignment opens to hand it in, and 2 days for each part of the final project. Lessons outside your path are extra and optional.
03Do I need marketing experience?
No. The program teaches marketing from the very beginning and is aimed mainly at students and people who are just starting out. What counts is a willingness to learn and steady work, not previous experience.
04What do I get out of it? Will I get a job?
Every student gains real, practical knowledge and a certificate of completion. Work in the Marketers.com network isn't promised to everyone, but the strongest graduates, who hand in their assignments on time and score well, are recruited as junior marketers.
05What if I miss a deadline?
You can make up a single slip, but consistency and meeting deadlines are at the core of the program. That's how we gauge how reliable students are. It's why the course is demanding, not another course you click through.
06Will I get a certificate of completion?
Yes. Everyone who finishes the program and delivers the assignments receives a Marketers.com academy certificate of completion to add to a resume and portfolio.
Enrollment is open
Ready to become a marketer?
