I like the Actionable Marketing Institute too. They offer free courses and digital certifications upon completion. It really helped me with my new role as a marketing specialist :slight_smile:

Hi, is Reliablesoft really free?

I tried checking their digital marketing course, but it’s asking me to pay $149 for the course bundle. Am I looking in the right place?
