Caroline\u2019s Experience Studying SEO\u00a0<\/h3>
\u201cWhen I studied the Master’s degree, we did a lot of research into marketing and competitors. We didn\u2019t learn about search engine marketing or optimization. I’m so happy that learnt SEO with NZIE! The course was perfect.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>
\u201cBefore I started, I felt stressed; Will\u00a0I learn something from them? Will I finish my assignments on time? <\/span><\/h5>
Thankfully, I found the structure was great. In addition to that, the professor [Bruno Hebling] is so nice; if I had any questions I could write an email, and he would reply quickly.” <\/span><\/h5>
