Below you can find the major changes we’ve made to each version of our positive impact marketing certification.
Cohort 6 (Spring 2024)
Delivery
- Hybrid cohort: we made the decision to go from live to hybrid cohort, which means we are simplifying the journey and creating a more sustainable commitment. Access 8 on-demand modules plus one weekly mandatory live session, fitting marketers’ busy schedule.
- Centralised platform: we shifted to our native community platform to deliver our cohort curriculum and host our community, which means as well as lifetime access to the curriculum you’ll also get access to bonus sessions post graduation.
- Affordability: by streamlining the schedule, going from two workshop per week to only one on Tuesdays, as well as reducing platform costs, we have been able to reduce running costs and make the certification fee more affordable for our students.
Curriculum
- Two bonus courses access: to kick off our journey, you’ll now be able to access 2 on-demand introductory trainings, our brand archetype and buyer psychology short-courses.
- Streamlined live sessions: we shifted to a once-per-week mandatory session, to accommodate our students busy schedules. Thee include our hands-on classes as well as hot seats sessions, to review progress.
- Curriculum annual review: another year, another review. We expanded our curriculum with 10 new amazing bonus workshops, and 4 masterclasses lead by our teachers across our 8 cohorts. Bonus workshops include topics like ethical AI practices.
- New bonus sessions: for the eager students, each week you can also access one bonus session, which can be either a 30-minute expert workshop, bonus office hours, or a co-working session.
Cohort 4/5 (Winter & Autumn 2023)
Curriculum
- From six to eight weeks: to accommodate new sessions, group work and our industry panels, we expanded our course from a 6-week to a 8-week journey
- Curriculum annual review: we have shifted old and outdated sessions to make space for marketing topics that reflect the changes in the space for 2023. Each existing session has also been updated with our teachers, including on-demand supporting materials.
- New live group work sessions: we added 4 new group work sessions to connect deeper with your cohort as well as office hours to get tailored feedback on your work
