A great introductory course for Facebook For Business. Justin's course is very informative and regardless of your business, everyone will get value from this course. Whether you are familiar with Facebook already or a new user, he explains everything thoroughly and highlights the value Facebook can add to your business.

I really enjoyed this course - really gave me the tools and knowledge to make the facebook platform work for me and our business. I would recommend this course to any business or organisation that is wanting to or already using facebook
Kathy Wilson, Wilson's Vege Stall, Winton.
This course really hit the mark for us, thanks Justin. Online Education has to be active in the social media space, and this course covered sufficient ground in enough depth, and with ample opportunity for practical creation of our own posts. Access to support material meant I could catch up a missed session easily.

This course is a must for small business owners like me who spent years saying "one day I am going to get my business on facebook" but have no idea where to begin because you have never used facebook even on a personal level before - you'll be up to speed in no time!
Angela Beazer, Drysdale Hydroponics, Invercargill.
Thank you justin for an interesting and informative course. Although there was a lot of information to process, I think with the on going support of the learning platform I'll get it. I have had a business page for some time, but didn't really know how to utilise it. Thanks to you, my journey begins. Highly recommend this course to anyone, specially with an old brain like mine
