Seo training courses and accreditation

Seo is probably one of the most talked about topics in the world of internet business. Everyone who is anyone mentions a well optimized site as one of the keys to finding success online. There are many “experts” who claim that appearing Number 1 on Google is something that is easy to do, from experience I can tell you it is not. Ranking highly with search engines is fast becoming a science that is getting increasingly difficult to master and increasingly competitive. Therefore if you want to call yourself a Seo expert and start charging large companies huge amounts of money to get them to rank highly on Google you might want to consider doing a course. Some professionals argue that a course isn’t necessary because the world of Seo changes too fast and that what you would pay thousands of dollars to learn one day will be completely irrelevant the next day. Maybe they are right?

I have been researching doing an accredited Seo course for some time and I found very few courses that offered a good certificate or post graduates. Maybe the whole Seo world is still too ahead of the curve for Universities and Colleges? Here are three of the best known Seo courses available on the internet. Whether they are good value for money or not I am not sure, if anyone can recommend these courses or any others please comment below.

Bruce Clay Inc Seo toolset training

Bruce Clay is well recognised as one of the internet’s Seo gurus. His company Bruce Clay Inc run a number of courses worldwide to train willing participants in Seo. These courses are three day courses where you will be trained in the use of Bruce Clays tools to get your client to number one. These courses are not cheap. They cost $1795 for the beginner’s course and $ $1195 for the advanced course. Bruce has a lot of free tools and information on his website so I think it is worth reading a little about this before paying for his course.

Seo moz training course

Seo moz offer two day training courses at the price of the $1149. Seo moz is another well respected Seo website that offers a lot of information completely free of charge. There courses are available in numerous different cities around the world. The weekend course is intensive but teaches everything from the basics to advanced Seo tactics. The course is taught by a variety of teachers which means you wont get bored of listening to the same voice. The course also has a questions and answer session from some well known Seo professionals at the end of the course. On the downside there is certification at the end of the course, bruce clays offers the certification in the use of their tool set, which may not sound like much but could give you the edge when applying for a job.

Seo book online training course

Seo book have taken another approach to training SEO consultants. They offer continuous training that is constantly updated. This means that you are constantly in contact with top quality relevant information. When you sign up to their course you get over 100 training modules as well as access to their forums and tool set. All this sounds great but it comes at a price. It costs 300$ to be a member and this is a recurring monthly payment. I think you need to be making quite a bit of money yourself first before you can afford that kind of money.

If you have attended one of these courses or know of someone who has please leave a comment below with some feedback.
