NCSU Offers Expanded Social Media Training and Management Certification in Summer Schedule

RALEIGH, N.C. - May 15, 2014 - PRLog -- Learning the concepts, strategies and tactics for developing and managing a social media program is the goal of the Certificate of Social Media Management course scheduled to begin at NC State’s McKimmon Center on Monday, May 19. The 42-hour course includes the option of afternoon or evening programs which continue through August 25. A comprehensive description and video testimonials from students who have graduated from Social Media Management certificate programs are on the instructors’ website: www.MySocialMediaMastery.com .

Enthusiasm for the classes has been growing. "NC State was extremely pleased to see the Spring Social Media Management classes completely sell out," instructor Martin Brossman said." In our afternoon and evening programs we graduated a total of 35 students. Now, for the Summer session, Karen Tiede and I are looking forward to teaching the certificate program again, as well as offering new complementary and support classes.  Karen will be teaching Pinterest for Business. I will be teaching Social Selling with LinkedIn, assisted by Greg Hyer (LinkingIntoSales.com), WordPress, assisted by Andrew Hill (IntoTheInternet.com), and the fundamentals of top social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+, in a series starting in July titled Core Competency for Social Media in Business, which will be an optional prerequisite for the  next Certificate of Social Media Management Program to be offered in the Fall.”

Class dates plus further information and registration are available on the TTS website, ncsu.edu/tts or via phone at 919-515-8163.
