It's a very good course for individuals who are non-technical. I had hoped that the A/B testing would have been more in-depth than just a point and click (and selling) of Meta's services.

Very informative and clear! This was somewhat of a refresher for me but I picked up so many important processes that will help to guide me in future campaigns.

The content was good but I really wish there had been a project instead of just quizzes. I find the projects challenging but I alwasy feel like I learn something from doing them.
