Our graduates have an advantage in the job market

I have a traditional marketing background, but couldn't compete with others who had more Internet experience. I printed off job descriptions that demanded Social Media skills, and took them in to the EDD. They really dove into it, and helped me get set up with Market Motive's web-based classes, which not only saves me gas money but without a doubt is making me more competitive and relevant."
- Jeanne Oberstar, marketing professional

Our web-based online marketing training and certification gives you a distinct advantage in the job market. In today's economic climate, you need every advantage you can get. Research shows that over 68% of marketing jobs require knowledge of Internet Marketing and most grads haven't been taught these skills. Those who have them have a serious advantage over those who don't.

You'll also have access to Job Openings specially available to Market Motive graduates.

How it works

A structured, standardized curriculum is constructed by the Education Development Team in collaboration with our Expert Faculty. The curriculum includes up-to-date video lessons, checkpoint quizzes, and an industry recognized Final Certification Test. Complete our recommended real-world exercises, join in with other students and faculty for live webinar workshops, and post your questions in the faculty Q&A forums where you'll get prompt attention from instructors, graduates, and other students.

Then you're ready for your final test. Pass the exam, and receive your Certification. The entire process takes approximately 90 days, although some students are able to complete their course more quickly.

Even though your projects and reviews will focus on one topic, you'll be welcome to study the other disciplines too. With this program, you'll have the keys to the campus.

Find out if you're eligible

Market Motive courses have been approved by Local Workforce Offices across the US. That means the cost of your education may be fully paid through the Workforce Investment Act which provides payment for employment training for adults and dislocated workers. Most states offer up to $6000 in training funds!

Each state sets its own policy for candidate eligibility, so check with your state employment offices to verify eligibility for the Market Motive courses.

Prospective students must get approval from their EDD (unemployment department) counselor, which is usually based on having some marketing background or likelihood of continued employment in marketing.
