Marketo Engage for Beginners Course

Gain the confidence and skills required to create engaging campaigns in the Marketo Engage Platform with our comprehensive Foundations course.

They were thorough, communicative, and did a great job of balancing the why and goal intro with the actual work experience. The pace was well done, and they ensured to ask questions before moving on. I am a big fan and intend to contract with them.
