Digital marketing is hands-on. Most sessions involve screen sharing, tool demos and live tutorials where you follow along with the instructor, which is far easier to learn when you can see exactly what is happening on screen.

Schedules vary by program and cohort. Typical options are weekday evenings (for example Tuesday and Thursday, 6:30 to 8:30 PM) or weekend sessions (Friday evening and Saturday morning). The full schedule is on the programs page.

All sessions are recorded and you have lifetime access to the recordings, so you can catch up any time.

The core programs are online, but we organize optional in-person networking sessions at the LAU ACE Office Beirut. They are completely optional and you will not miss any course content if you cannot attend.
