What our students say

“I was excited to learn that my team was going to start running our own campaigns with Marketo. It meant that we would no longer have to rely on other teams to get campaigns out the door.
But I was also nervous. I didn’t want to be responsible for making a big mistake.
JTF Marketing’s training saved me from a lot of problems and wasted time. They showed me what to pay attention to so that I don’t mess up.
And they also showed me much faster and easier ways to use the tool. I can’t remember how many times I said, ‘wait — you can do it like that?’
Now I’m looking forward to building on my Marketo skills and becoming more and more of an expert.”
Soraya Gomez
Marketing Manager, Mcgraw Hill Education

“JTF Marketing helped me gain the knowledge and confidence with Marketo Engage I needed to get promoted.
I was working as a CRM Manager, but now I’m the Head of Marketing Automation for one of the world’s largest independent investment firms.
The pay increase is great, but more importantly, I enjoy my work more now that I’m an expert.”
Simone Vincent
Head of Marketing Automation, Financial Services Company

No, the two certifications demonstrate different levels of expertise. Being a Marketo Certified Professional means that you’re comfortable using Marketo’s everyday features and understand its uses in automating your marketing. The MCP exam is aimed at marketing professionals with 2-3 months’ experience of Marketo Engage.
The Marketo Certified Expert exam covers a much deeper understanding and more practical experience of Marketo, averaging about 1-2 years of hands-on use. It will test you on more complex campaign management tools, analytics, and operational features.
