Tucked away in the industrial area, Firstcom exceeded my expectations as a digital marketing course provider. The courses are practical and the assessment process is robust and not easy. But knowledge retention is very high after an intense 2 or 2 and half day course. Highly recommended for people looking for quick start in social media marketing

Attended the Digital Marketing course conducted by Paul Lim. I must say, I enjoyed throughout the whole session. Paul made the course interesting, easy to understand and shared a lot of insights on each of the digital marketing channels. Will definitely attend his other courses in the future.
Evelyn C
Firstcom has far exceeded my expectations as a training provider. The course I took covered more than I thought and has a perfect balance of practical and theoretical content. I am genuinely confident and ready to apply my newfound knowledge and skills as a media professional. Daryl the trainer is clearly passionate about what he does. All in all, worth every cent. My only gripe would be the venue, which is in an industrial area and can be a bit hard to locate. Maybe complimentary parking coupons for us learners would be nice. :-)
