There are quite a number of training providers in Malaysia who offer digital marketing training, courses, and certifications.
Many of them are self-declared experts or trainers, without a professional syllabus and track record. You have probably seen some individuals “selling themselves” via Facebook ads, using self-made videos or some footage speaking at a conference.
Should you enroll for these “experts”? It is your call, really.
However, you might want to opt for courses offered by reputable training providers if your objective is to learn digital marketing fundamentals or to grow yourself as a digital marketing expert.
Here, we compile 6 credible training providers with strong roots in Malaysia, offering either online and/or offline digital marketing courses.
Most of them are certified under HRDF (Human Resources Development Fund) at the time of writing.
Under HRDF, all the courses, trainers, and the company itself need to be certified by the government hence it is definitely more legitimate, not to mention that the course fees are claimable under this scheme.
So, read on and pick your trainer!
