Trainer Eugene is so insightful, detailed, and knowledgeable. And he brings a very engaging and positive vibe to the class. Most importantly, he shares and teaches beyond the course textbook & slides. He does not hold back on what he feels like he needs to share for us to learn and grow. His knowledge and experience on SEO and marketing is bountiful and I personally feel that I have taken away a lot during these 3 days. His enthusiasm and passion for the subject definitely shows and his energy was great. His approach made the course easy to digest & understand. And there wasn't any boring moments. Thank you, Sir.

Samantha Chan

Went for a SEO Basic Techniques course and trainer Eugene was superb. He gave us an not only an overview but practical examples of how we could implement SEO optimisation on our business websites and I am so eager to start implementing it now to boost the sites that I oversee for my marketing projects. Having good content is not enough if SEO isn't properly set up, and optimising our SEO can actually boost a brand's traffic and marketing objectives. I used to just focus on social media but now I find that I am equipped to help my clients with SEO. I'm glad I came for this course.
