What Our Alumni Say About Us
The workshop week was extremely educational. The content was presented by the trainers in an appealing and professional way. Especially the fact that suitable software and add-ons were recommended gave the course a special added value. During the workshops these tools could also be used under guidance. So I could directly internalize the handling of the corresponding tools. Thanks to all trainers and the team of the FU International Academy.
I have to tell the total course has been a great experience! So many things to learn and normally hard to find, the main reason because you do not even know that they exist and you need them! Thanks a lot to Frank, Pablo, Sarah, and Orsi!! You are great!!!
Digital marketing course was great. I’m leaving SEO in the Sun with new knowledge. Now some necessary changes in my school will finally take place. Friendly lecturers revealed the secrets of SEO, social media advertisement, content marketing and so much more. I recommend SEO in the Sun to everyone looking for valuable knowledge and competent and friendly teachers.
I really loved the course. I have learned a LOT and I think it will help me a lot, to advance my Company to get better in digital marketing. The teacher were all very nice, spending all their regards to us, trying to answer ALL our questions. And we had many of them. 🙂 It was good that we were only 3 inexperienced people..
I am very Interested to learn much more about digital marketing especially in this bootcamps.
