One of the main reasons for attending this TikTok Marketing course was that I was convinced by Trainer Linda after her AI Marketing course.

It was an eye-opening course on how extensive TikTok and TikTok Business can create brand awareness and lead to conversions/ sales. This course is beneficial and easy to follow for a brand owner like me who does not yet have a marketing team.

This course conducted was very informative. Linda's passion for teaching and technology was evident from the start, and her extensive knowledge of TikTok and its features (as well as other online marketing platforms) was truly awe-inspiring. Throughout the course, Linda provided clear and concise instructions that were easy to comprehend, even for someone like me, who has limited experience with the TikTok app. Linda's interactive teaching style made the course both enjoyable and engaging. I particularly appreciated Linda's hands-on approach to creating the TikTok ad process, which allowed us to apply what we learned, enhancing our understanding of the app and its interface. Overall, I highly recommend Linda and her team as an educator. Their dedication, expertise, and enthusiasm for teaching truly set them apart. I am thankful for the chance to learn from such a knowledgeable and talented person and thanks to Linda's guidance, I feel confident in my ability to use TikTok creatively in my company's marketing strategy.

I think that Instructor Linda is very knowledgeable in her scope of work. Although this is a TikTok course, she actually went beyond to provide us with more industry insights and best practices. She is able to answer our enquiries professionally, giving us a better understanding of the subject.

We really enjoyed Linda's TikTok Marketing class and would recommend it to everyone who is trying out (or considering maximising the reach of their business via TikTok). We have already been posting organic posts on TikTok, and many times much of it is very 'experimental.' Through this 2-day course, we learned the best practices, what to do (and what not to do), TikTok advertising/ creator account, etc., which will definitely be useful in furthering the growth of our brand amidst the competitive landscape.

Jencen Novianti Chandra

Marketing Director

Bluetree Education

It was a very insightful 2-day course where I gained deeper knowledge about the TikTok ecosystem and the ad buying process. The trainer, Linda, is very knowledgeable and shares many practical tips and case studies with us that are useful! There are also many hands-on activities that helped synthesise the knowledge taught. I definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to upskill their social media knowledge.
