ORIENTATION

The Advanced eMail Marketing Course is the result of over two years of research and collaboration between educators and professional marketers. We have produced a course that will cover this arena in significant detail.

Research has shown that you can learn as much from an online course as one in a classroom setting. But, you have to work at it. Like any other educational endeavor, learning is up to you. We will provide lessons, feedback, a student bulletin board, tests and resources. It is your job to participate in the course, read the materials and complete the tests.

You are at the forefront of a revolution in marketing. You are the marketer that will help lay the foundation for our profession in the 21st century. The fact that you have enrolled in this course is a good indication of your commitment to professional development and your initiative in self-improvement. The eMA commends you for your dedication to quality in marketing and your commitment to continuous learning.

Whatever your educational or professional background is, we have entered
a phase where your experience or diploma comes with an expiration date, a shelf life.

Continuous lifetime learning is the only way, in today's changing economy for you to keep up with the supersonic pace of 21st century marketing techniques and processes.

There are five lessons included in this course. We will cover all the material in about 3 1/2 weeks. Each lesson along with the exercises and test will take about 2 to 4 hours to complete. Since we cannot possibly know your background or current knowledge, some of the material may be familiar, concentrate on the material where your knowledge and/or experience is lacking.
