What you will learn

Your curriculum

Week 1: Foundations

The four pillars of the job, the core vocabulary: reach, impressions, engagement rate, CTR: reading and writing to a real brand voice, community management, complaint de-escalation, content calendars, and honest reporting.

Week 2: Writing Content That Performs

Hooks, captions that drive real engagement, and the anatomy of a post that stops the scroll instead of getting scrolled past.

Week 3: Platform Deep Dives

Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn each covered on their own terms: format, algorithm behavior, and audience expectations specific to each.

Week 4: Paid Social & Client Reporting Specialization

Reading organic versus paid performance correctly and building the kind of report a client trusts enough to keep renewing.

Week 5: Advanced Crisis Response & De-escalation

Handling a viral negative moment or a real PR-adjacent situation: when a complaint stops being one customer and starts being a visible pile-on the whole account has to weather.

Week 6: Scheduling & Analytics Mastery

Running a multi-platform queue without errors and reading a real performance dashboard the way a manager, not a fan, reads it.

Week 7: Full Simulation

Running one real brand's account for a full simulated week: calendar, publishing, community management, and reporting, all at once, under realistic time pressure.

Week 8: Final assessment

Written exam, a graded mock client account, and a practical reporting task: pass all three to certify.

Week 9: Practicum, part one

Three timed shifts on Brightline Studio, a fictional agency, plus a real scheduling account on AckPost. Items arrive the way they do in a real shift; every action is graded against the rules of the job.

Week 10: Practicum, part two

Three more shifts including a downtime drill, a peer review of another student's work, and a tutor-marked final. Passing needs zero critical errors.

Prepare to participate

Plan for a computer, headset, reliable internet, a quiet practice space, and time for assignments. Review the student handbook for assessment, access, and policy details before payment.
