These three courses, conducted online from 15th to 25 August via Microsoft Teams took 100 participants on a very informative 10-day learning journey.

The trainers engaged for these programmes were all experts in their respective fields. Imparting knowledge and sharing experiences with participants were:

IACT also had the privilege of partnering with Dattel, Lumix and Cilisos for these certificates.

Following the signing of Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between IACT and Dattel, participants of the Professional Certificate in Social Media Trends & Marketing were given the opportunity to experience Dattel’s Voyager platform, enabling them to better understand data-driven consumer intelligence in consumer analytics.

Lumix on the other hand, loaned a Lumix G100 camera to the trainer of the Professional Certificate in Podcasting 101: Radio & Video.

On another note, participants who did the Professional Certificate in Digital Publishing were excited when UiHua Cheah, Editor-in-Chief of Cilisos took time out of his busy schedule to attend a few of the sessions. He shared about the secret of being a great writer, how to capture the attention of a digital audience and storytelling at Cilisos.

All three short courses conducted by IACT provedto be a huge hit and success, as we received positive feedback from the participants!
