Jelly Academy

I got to learn what the tools I’d need to pursue my career in digital marketing. Cons, in my opinion would be my own personal obstacles were quite prevalent unfortunately and I’d take the course again. Just wanted to say thank you to true blue for sponsoring... Read More my digital marketing career launch.

I took the Jelly Academy Digital Marketing Bootcamp course in the fall of 2022. I was lucky enough to receive the Women in Digital Scholarship to help support my learning. I would highly recommend this course to folks who are brand new to digital marketing,... Read More or people like myself who have a bit more experience. I was drawn to this course because they provide a syllabus that encourages you to complete other industry certifications at the same time, so that was a great push for me to learn a lot in a short period of time. One area that I feel the course could be improved would be having more interaction with others taking the course. Things like a forum, Slack channel, Discord, etc. would have been valuable to share learnings and network with others in the course. Overall, I'd highly recommend and encourage folks to check out their scholarship opportunities if cost is a barrier.

I was a little scared going into the program as to what this would look like for me. I was scared that I would not be able to focus or carry myself through. But one of the things that really stood out for me is how passionate and enthusiastic the instructors... Read More were. I did the self paced course. So even though I did not get the chance to interact with the instructors, I was able to see how excited they were to teach and in turn I felt excited as well. I am so grateful for everything I learned. I hope to take a cohort class next. I was also a recipient of the Black and People of Colour Scholarship, which was an honour. My grandpa would be so proud of me right now. I know this program has prepared me with the skills and knowledge to take my career to the next level. I really enjoyed how I could go back and re-watch some of the lessons I struggled with I appreciated the enthusiasm and knowledge of the instructors I loved how relatable the instructors were. The PR portion of the course was my personal favourite, that is something that I learned throughout the course that is what I would love to explore more of. I wish I had taken the cohort class and not the self-paced class for the classroom experience. The self paced was great, but you really have to be motivated, luckily the instructors make it easy to stay motivated as they make the experience fun.

Overall this course was great! It has only a few hours a week which was easy to fit into my busy schedule. Being online it was nice to do the course remotely but I definitely prefer in person classes as I can learn better that way. There’s definitely... Read More not enough time to learn everything in the short class but it was a great intro class to digital marketing.

The experience I had with the Jelly Academy for the 6-week Digital Marketing Program was extremely rewarding. Every week you learned from a different expert based on the week's topic and are given the opportunity to connect with both the instructor and... Read More other students in a very authentic way. The instructors make the sessions engaging by allowing everyone to connect openly in discussion and providing fun quizzes throughout each session. A recording of all the sessions are also made available to you after to review the materials at anytime. As a person who works three jobs and was also quite ill for one of the scheduled weeks, I found this to be a very helpful tool. This is all so new to me and I still have so much to learn, but Jelly Academy has truly inspired me to continue my knowledge in the world of digital and I am very grateful to have found them.

Took the digital marketing boot camp, the classes were quite interactive, tutors were knowledgeable. The team was very supportive and understanding and quite responsive if you need anything. Getting a scholarship too was a good part of the experience.... Read More

I cannot say enough about Jelly Academy. I learned about the Academy at a social media summit that I took part in and was incredibly intrigued. So I reached out, and from the first communication, I was amazed at how friendly, knowledgeable, and willing... Read More to help the staff were. After being involved in the same field of work for 15 years, I just made the jump to a new career and thought the Digital Marketing course would be a great way to expand my knowledge and was I right. The amount of information packed into the 6 lesson course is unbelievable. In addition, I love that not only do you have interactive lessons with an expert on the weekly topic, but Jelly also includes a list of recommended certifications and credentials to complete along the way. Finally, the flexibility makes completing this course very attainable for someone who may already be working full-time or going to school. I really enjoyed my time with Jelly and can't wait to sign up for my next course.

"Jelly Academy's Marketing Course taught me so much on how to improve, my small business. Learning about Google Analytics, Social Media and Google Business showed me how little I knew. I'm looking forward to implementing my new knowledge to my business."... Read More

I was first introduced to Jelly Marketing in 2019 when I met Darian Kovacs through the company I was working for at the time. I was very curious about the digital marketing industry because it was (and still is) such a new industry. We got to talking... Read More and I explained that I was originally planning to become an Accountant, but after working a few jobs in accounting I realized it just wasn't going to be the right fit. Darian encouraged me to consider a career in digital marketing because my affinity with numbers would lend itself well to the analytics and budgeting side of the industry. Since that conversation in 2019, I've worked for and with a couple of small businesses and realized that digital marketing is where many small businesses are lacking. This pushed me to sign up for the 6 Week Digital Marketing Course with Jelly Academy. I also applied for and received a scholarship from Jelly Academy that allowed me to take the course sooner than I thought I would be able to afford it. What I really appreciated about the course was that I was able to learn from and have access to experts in each topic we covered. Additionally, I found that Jelly's course was especially unique because it includes the codes to certifications through Google, Hootsuite, Facebook, etc. Overall, I was extremely impressed with Jelly Academy and the course and I am looking forward to officially joining their Alumni.

The high level of discipline you gain through rapid reskilling and achieving certifications that employers are looking for grows your knowledge, turning you into an efficient, time management high performing professional. Jelly Academy's digital course... Read More was an eye-opening experience for me. I surprised myself in what I was able to accomplish in a short amount of time with Jelly’s support, workshops and helpful, relevant links relating to my goals in digital marketing, social media, search engine optimization, customer relationship management, public relations, content strategy, analytics, and statistics. During the course, anytime I had any questions, before I could even ask, I would just work through the course and the answers to my questions were already there, truly all encompassing. Jelly covered everything, from clear outlines, and quick access links to post graduate job search, entrepreneurial help, and next steps. Jelly Academy provides an optional LinkedIn workshop. Although there are vast amounts of information to develop your LinkedIn profile, I would ask for a deeper dive into optimizing your profile.
