ConversionXL has a really good training program - https://conversionxl.com/institute/

Really good stuff on the right way to do research and optimization.

Great question!

I wish I had a resource like this when I first got started. Instead, I kind of hacked together my own education using Quora, blogging and experimenting on my own or with clients...

Two of my favourites:

ConversionXL Institute - http://conversionxl.com/institute
-- This team does a great job at all things conversions - from the psychology to the design. It's something that is definitely on the rise in this industry and of all the groups out there, ConversionXL is one of the best. A quick look at their blog shows an example of the type of value you can extract - The insights on Landing Page Optimization alone is worth checking out.

CopyHackers - http://training.copyhackers.com/
Everything that Joanne and team creates is gold. As someone who invests a lot of time and energy in copywriting, I'd point anyone to CopyHacker with confidence.

I'm currently taking http://www.gimmegrowth.com/ by Dominic Coryell

It's the best.

Because Results.

I'm not even finished with the course yet and I've already meaningfully increased the rate of growth in my startup. Taking it makes me feel like I have access to the best, most up to date knowledge out there on growth. And he synthesizes knowledge in a way that is clear and actionable.

He employs weekly growth huddles and coaching to keep students accountable and spur creativity. In addition, to keep things interesting, he invites world renown growth folks like Sean Ellis, Justin Mares to share their knowledge. The amount of content he provides is just extremely impressive.

It's online and in person, I really enjoyed www.reforge.com led by @brianbalfour and @andrewchen. It's more on the advanced side, and relatively expensive, so not for everyone. But, the content is extremely well thought out and the program is very well organized. The networks was one of the most valuable assets as well.

One of the best courses is "The Ultimate Guide To Funnel Optimization" by @seanjohnson https://www.udemy.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-funnel-optimization/ . If you’re a newcomer in the world of Growth Hacking it’s essential for you, to cover the basics as well as to get actionable advices.

Another promising course, which I haven't took btw, it seems it be the "HypeBomb - Growth Hacking for startups" https://www.udemy.com/hypebomb-growth-hacking-for-startups/ by Bronson Taylor of Growth Hackers TV, Doug Logue and Lucas Taylor of Dumb Punk.

I'd give a second (or 3rd?) shoutout to http://www.gimmegrowth.com. Dom is the real deal.

ConversionXL's blog can be a bit daunting (it's almost too much to put into action), but I've only heard great things about their course.

I launched a user acquisition course in partnership w/ GrowthX, a venture capital fund. this course teaches everything i know about growth, which have led me to run multiple million+ sales SaaS platforms including Fomo.com.

my thesis for students: you can build a multi million dollar SaaS company with just a couple hundred visitors per day.

it's all about how you acquire those visitors, and whether they match your target audience. i call this audience your RCP, or "Realistic Customer Profile," instead of the commonly used ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) which is often far-reaching.

the course is composed of 8 modules:

1. Identifying your Target Audience
2. Paid Acquisition
3. Organic Acquisition
4. Analytics
5. Partnerships and Referrals
6. Technical Marketing (SQL, Web scraping, JavaScript event tracking, etc)
7. Competitive Strategy
7. Conversion Rate Optimization

each module has ~10+ lectures and 2-4 exercises, which are essentially marketing campaigns.

students who complete the exercises earns instant cash back from their tuition. i believe that the more you learn, the less you should pay.

here's a link to the course, which only opens enrollment once per 3 months:

I attended Reforge in Fall 2017, and I can confidently say there's no training opportunity for growth professionals that even comes close. I'm still pouring through the content almost a year later, it's truly timeless insight that has changed my entire approach to growth and career development. S/O to @bbalfour for putting in so much hard work, it's worth every penny.

I really enjoyed Growth Hacker TV. It is a great resource to learn from the bests. Here is a summary of every episode:

I am really enjoyed and learned a lot from the Digital Marketer courses. They are ideal for beginners and advanced level marketing to becoming full stack marketer. Here are there courses:

Here's one for app marketing. It's free and it goes through the various aspects of App Store Optimization and marketing: https://academy.mobileaction.co/

I am attending conversion coaching course with Peep Laja and I think it offers detailed and integrated material regarding CRO. It is well worth the money. The coaching classes are accompanied with lectures and lessons from some of the best known people from digital marketing. The entire process of CRO is divided into logical parts that flow from each other fluently. And Peep is very good at giving lessons. Recommended.

I took the Gimme Growth course (http://www.gimmegrowth.com/) and I totally vouch for Dominic Coryell in putting together this awesome course. The material covered is very informative and the approach to the course is very hands on. Dominic brings a good framework to think about growth marketing and I personally benefited from taking course.

Being a part of the free growth hacking course by Rishabh Dev has helped scale a lot of marketing projects by providing a process-oriented approach to growth hacking. You can check out his course at https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/230593?ref=opsr

CXL Institute has a dedicated Growth Marketing certification training program: https://conversionxl.com/institute/programs/growth-marketing-training/

Hi everyone, I've been working for 10 year in eCom and digital marketing and now I'm looking for an advanced level online course of Growth Hacking. Which one would you recommend to a senior marketers who already have a Hacking mindset? Many thanks

I recently created a free email course that helps business founders and digital marketers alike check their growth framework. Too often, in my 10+ years of digital marketing, I come across small and large businesses who don't have their customer audience identified properly or are just not tracking the right metrics. This course aims to help companies sort their basic growth framework out.
And for advanced marketers, this course can act as a checklist with extra details and tips.
It's been up only recently and would love any feedback on it :)

Hi Keith!

Most of the growth hacking courses out there are just a bunch of definitions and buzzwords as well as tactics that worked at one company but might not apply to others.
Some of them teach you how to use fancy tools to enhance your marketing efforts.

Very few though offer fully customised courses which help you introduce growth hacking techniques to your specific business case.

If you're looking for more practical training I'd strongly recommend to follow RockBoost growth hacking course (you can choose from 3 different packages).

After this course you will:

- Have a clear roadmap to success + backlog of growth hacks generated based on your unique business case
- Learn how to create and implement a growth strategy as well as how to align the whole organisation with it
- Learn to leverage data to inform all your decisions
- Work in a structured and process-driven way
- Implement the culture of rapid experimentation
- Have a list of marketing tools selected to meet your specific needs
