These are some online refresher courses Virtual Precision have been taking over the past year. We love to learn so will always find the time. These courses are in progress but we aim to complete them not only to benefit our own business, but to offer further skill sets to our clients.

We are mainly focused on the Digital Garage and Analytics courses from Google and the programming courses from Udacity.

The Digital Garage Course offers so much information in bite-size logical chunks and helps you rethink everything from SEO and marketing to Adwords and being found in search.

If you haven’t done this course, I suggest you do. It will not only open your eyes but also makes so much sense for those who might struggle with a few concepts.
