Social Media Marketing Certificate
The Pierce College Social Media Marketing Certificate is a fully online, comprehensive training program designed to help students gain the knowledge, skills and abilities employers are looking for in online marketing specialists. This certificate program features portfolio- and competency-based curriculum, many open-source materials, a capstone project and more. This expert-guided certificate program can be completed in approximately one year.

Deciding to enroll at Pierce College has been the best decision I have made in regard to starting my business successfully. I was about to start advertising and taking on customers with just the skills of detailing cars but thought I would take just a few classes first to improve my odds of getting a business loan.
Once I was enrolled, I realized how beneficial every class was in teaching me how to achieve customers, take on employees, and ultimately expand in the future.
I am far more confidant now in every aspect of my business and look for opportunities to share what I have learned with other small business owners.
