Testimonials

I am really excited when I can work officially as a marketer now. So many challenges but I feel lucky because I chose AIM as my mentor at the starting point

Thanks to the course, I gained practical brand building and management knowledge which perhaps if I studied myself, it would take me a lot of time.
