Here's What to Expect in Your Practitioner Credential Program
Monthly Commitment
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.
Weekly Conference Calls, Live Screen-Share Workshops
Weekly "office hours" conference calls ensure you never feel detached from other program members. Join your 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 an average of two weekly conference calls available to you 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.
Self Paced Assignments
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. Your assignments and projects will be reviewed by peers, associate instructors and ultimately, your teaching faculty.
In-Depth Online Testing
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 two or three, you'll be ready to attempt the comprehensive online exam and move on to the next level of the program.
Unlimited Cross Training
As part of your enrollment in the Practitioner Credentialization program, you'll have access to all Market Motive courses and video modules -- in all topics! You may watch additional training modules, take more courses, and 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.
Downloadable, printable Certification
Our printable certificates prove that you have completed the course and passed the final exam. Print it out, hang it on the wall, and bask in it's glory or give a copy to your employer to prove you are continuing your education and improving your skills.
Want to get the full endorsement from our faculty? Participate in our three-month Master Certification for hands-on instruction with the faculty, complete with course projects and graduation ceremony.
