Description
Are you looking to learn how to use Marketo?
This course was designed and recorded in 2023 with the objective of getting you Marketo Certified Professional exam-ready, without assuming any prior knowledge of Marketo.
Therefore, whether you’re brand new to Marketo and have barely logged in, or you think you’re just about ready to book or sit your exam and want to fill any knowledge gaps, this course is designed for you. Alternatively, if you're just looking to learn to use Marketo without then taking the certification, the course does this just as well.
The course is designed to follow the same roadmap as the exam, is split out into the same sections as the exam and covers all the content Marketo sets out to make you a competent user of the tool. It concludes with some pre-exam tips and mock questions to help with your final preparations if you are looking to become certified.
As an experienced Marketo user of 9 years, the trainer is keen to tie in applied experiences to help share best practices throughout the course and balance the use of slides to simplify concepts and as revision-worthy summations, with as much time possible focused on live demonstrations in Marketo.
Please Note: The exam content covered in this course is for the ‘Certified Professional’ and DOES NOT cover everything for the more advanced ‘Certified Expert’ exam.
Adobe also recommends six months hands-on experience in Marketo prior to taking any certification exam.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to start a career as a day-to-day Marketo user
- Existing Marketo users who want to upskill to achieve Marketo Certified Professional status
- Users of other Marketing Automation tools (e.g. Pardot, Eloqua) who want to broaden their skills to also use Marketo
- Marketing managers working for a company that uses Marketo who want to further understand the tool's capabilities
