Here's What to Expect in Your Master Certification Program
You'll be guided through a 90-day structured curriculum with up-to-date streaming video lessons and checkpoint quizzes. Check in weekly with faculty during phone conference "office hours", and post your questions in the faculty Q&A forum where you'll get prompt attention from instructors and other students.

Then you're ready for your hands-on real-world projects, peer assessments, and a final all-faculty panel review. Pass with the endorsements of the dream team, and receive your Master Certification.
And even though your projects and reviews will focus on Fundamentals, you'll be welcome to study the other disciplines too. With Master Certification, you have the keys to the campus.
How Much Time Should I Allocate Each Month?
Most students allocate between 15-25 hours each month for a combination of on-demand video training modules, live workshops, projects, and online tests. You can watch your video modules anytime, day or night. Some groups watch together during lunch, while some prefer class time in the evenings. Use your study guide and weekly conference calls to be sure you're on track.
What if I Fall Behind?
Weekly "office hours" conference calls ensure you never feel detached from other program members. Join your faculty and fellow members on the weekly call to discuss what's going on with the program, postulate on specific test questions, solve conundrums with the latest project, or just commiserate with your fellow classmates.
You'll have at least one weekly conference call to discuss your progress and specific application of your internet marketing discipline. Faculty-led workshops teach latest techniques and methodologies in each discipline. Calls are typically scheduled between 9AM Pacific and Noon Pacific. If you can't make your scheduled call, faculty and associate instructors are available in our online "Ask the Expert" forums to answer your questions 24/7.
What are the Assignments & Projects Like?
Each course includes a series of assignments and real-life projects designed to put your learning into action -- all under the guidance of the world's experts. You may choose the assigned projects OR apply the project to your own website, client's projects or give your project to a charity of your choice. Your assignments and projects will be reviewed by peers, associate instructors and ultimately, your teaching faculty.
How Does The Testing Work?
To ensure you stay on track with what you've been learning, you'll follow each video module with a short quiz to ensure you've fully absorbed the material. In month three, you'll be ready to attempt the comprehensive online exam and move on to the next level of the program.
What if I Want to Study Other Topics?
As part of your enrollment in the Master Certification program, you'll have access to all Market Motive participate in weekly live faculty workshops. We do recommend that you focus on your main topic of study until you graduate, and then access over 300 additional video training modules within Market Motive.
The Dissertation Defense Sounds Terrifying. Is it Hard?
So you've finished the learning path, taken the tests, completed your project. Now what? Running the gauntlet, of course. Show off your work and articulate your new knowledge as the world's experts analyze your projects and test your skills through a series of direct questions and real-world scenarios. Rest assured, you'll be well equipped to run the gauntlet by this point. Maybe someday, you'll even find yourself on the other side of those hard-nosed questions!
