Participant
Two-day Claude for marketing workshop
"Dhawal is very knowledgeable on this subject matter. Even though I've been using GA for years (self taught and learned from former managers), I learned a lot more from this course as it is different from what's offered in GA academy."
Ina Jasni
"I learnt so much over these 2 days about Digital Analytics. Dhawal made most of the difficult technicalities in Analytics easier to relate for a layperson like me. I came to the class feeling apprehensive, however, I am more confident now as I know I can go for the refresher class and clinic as well as approach Dhawal should the need arise. A big thank you, Equinet Academy and Dhawal!"
Dominic Lee
