Course Introduction: Marketing Essentials
Everything Online
Booking, access and materials are all digital — start within minutes of enrolling on self-paced courses.
Team Licences
Training a team? Ask about group access — often better value than individual places.
Upgrade Path
Many delegates start online, then bring Justin in for an INSET day or a live bid. The online course fee is money well spent either way.

Online Courses: FAQs
How do I access a course after booking?
Self-paced courses send login details on enrolment — Marketing Essentials is booked through the education conferences platform linked on its course page. Live online sessions send joining links ahead of the date.
How long do I have access?
Twelve months on self-paced courses — deliberately long enough to revisit modules when the real bid or campaign starts, not just while it's fresh.
Are the online courses easier than the masterclasses?
Same substance, different format. Venue days add live workshopping of your school's situation; online adds flexibility and rewatchability. Many schools do both — online first, venue day when budget allows.
Do online delegates get the templates?
Yes — the downloadable resources are part of every course, and they're the same working documents the venue masterclasses use.
Will more courses be added?
Yes — the catalogue grows as new masterclasses prove themselves in the room first. The newsletter announces new course dates and launches.
