All About the Certified Internet Marketing Course in Kenya

I am here looking at this certificate and smiling. I recently completed the CIMP course at Computer Pride. CIMP simply stands for Certified Internet Marketing Practitioner. As I write this there are only 3 certified practitioners in Kenya.  Join this course soon and you may be among the first few! Simply download the form below, fill it and send it to me at [email protected] and I’ll make sure you’re sorted real quick.

Yeah, you will then be able to show your mom a certificate so that she can see that online work is serious.

It is not just about the certificate. You will also be able to implement the actionable skills that will help you to build an online empire.

I heard about this course a few months back and thought I must get to it at some point. However, this has been a tight year for me financially. I sadly (so sadly) lost my lovely wife in February and was personally very sick in April so I promised myself I’ll do it later.

However, as a blogger on this niche, I was proudly sponsored to do the course, which was one of the best things for me this year.

So, why do you need this internet marketing training? What does it entail? How much does it cost?

Duration of the course

The course goes for 5 days. It is not done online at time of writing this post, so you need to avail yourself to Computer Pride at ICEA Building, 1^st Floor to take the training.

It goes from 9am to 5pm. Yes, this was hard for me too as a freelancer who loves working at night but I hacked it. You can too!

Exam

Yes, there is an exam. It has 100 questions and the allocated time is 4 hours though you will probably finish in a shorter time. The pass mark for the exam is 70%. At the time of writing this I haven’t yet done the exam so I only have the certificate of completion. You can do it at your own time after the course so that you can be a certified CIMP.

Price

The price for this course is Sh. 65,000, inclusive of the exam fee.

This is a training that goes on all over the world and was designed by the EC Council.
