FAQs

There are three ways this training helps you run campaigns with confidence that other courses don’t:

1. Structure: Other courses will give you snippets of knowledge, but there’s no structure to help you master each skill. Marketo Fundamentals is not only structured to help you master the basics – it’s also self-paced. That means you can return to it over and over, and apply it to your day-to-day work.

2. True expertise: Marketo is all we do. Every day we help people like you make the most of Marketo. We’ve seen hundreds of different instances and hundreds of different challenges. We’ve earned every Marketo battle scar we have.

3. Feedback: Other courses can tell you what to do. Only Marketo Fundamentals can tell you if you’re doing it right.

The training is self-paced, so it’s entirely up to you. If you work on it each day, you can finish it in a week. Even at a slower pace, most students finish the course within 1 month.

Many students get their employers to pay for this training. To help you start this conversation, download a PDF with the course syllabus.

There are two things you’ll want to check to ensure you get the most out of this training:

  1. That your Marketo instance has Modular Email Templates (this feature is necessary for building emails to best practice standards… and making your work faster and easier)
  2. That your Marketo instance has Guided Landing pages (again, to ensure best practice standards)

Technical skills are not a prerequisite for this course. If you have the willingness to learn and a pinch of curiosity, then you have everything you need to take this course.

Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals covered in the training, we have no doubt that you’ll feel completely confident building and running your campaigns.

Here’s what you get when you buy our Marketo Fundamentals course:

  • 10 modules that build your foundational Marketo skills set
  • 10 demos where experts show you how to build programs, reports, etc.
  • 7 tutorials that break best practice processes down into steps
  • 8 quizzes to ensure you understand the material before you move on
  • 4 expert-reviewed skill checks that put your new knowledge to the test

You learn best by doing – not just watching someone else. That’s why we recommend this training only if you have access to Marketo at your company. When you build your skill checks in Marketo, you’ll want to create a test folder where you can practice your skills.
