Is AdWords 101 the right course for me?

AdWords 101 is our most basic seminar. It is helpful if you have already created an AdWords account and have familiarized yourself with the user interface. However, if you are completely new, we do start from the beginning, with opening an account.

What's next after AdWords 101?

AdWords 101 and AdWords 201 are always offered on back-to-back days so that you can continue and build on your learnings. Taking both classes together is useful because one day is not enough to cover all of the tools and features of the system. AdWords 101 focuses on how the system works, and how to set it up properly. The second day, AdWords 201, allows you to learn about fine-tuning campaigns, using additional tools, and more advanced techniques.
