I definitely have a better grasp of how to improve Facebook and Instagram Ads now that the training is over. Mo, the trainer, is really helpful and capable of responding to my inquiries. I may gain from the practical approach. The venue was very easy to go to because a free shuttle was offered. It improves the experience of both traveling and attending the course. I'm also going to the LinkedIn and TikTok classes!
