Overview
Businesses of every size now reach customers online, through search engines, social media, email and paid advertising. The Digital Marketing Fundamentals Internship is a self-paced virtual internship that explains how these channels work, how they fit together and how their results are measured.
The program is organised into four modules. You start with marketing basics, buyer personas and the customer journey, then learn search engine optimisation and content marketing. Next you study social media marketing and paid advertising, including pay-per-click concepts such as CPC, CTR and Quality Score. The final module covers email marketing, web analytics and key performance indicators. Each module has written study material with clear definitions and examples, followed by a timed online exam that checks your understanding.
In Module 4 you receive a capstone project brief: a digital marketing plan for a small business of your choice, covering goals, audience, channels, content and measurement. It gives you a practical document you can add to your portfolio. When you pass the module exams, you receive a QR-verifiable internship certificate that records your internship period.
