Courses

This comprehensive learning path, open to all, will commence with certifications in the basics of Walmart Connect retail media and the Sponsored Search ad products that are foundational to a successful investment framework.

Each certification is made up of a series of e-courses — some have as few as two, while others are more robust, with ten or more. Participants can expect to spend anywhere from thirty minutes to two hours for a certification. To earn a badge, participants complete coursework and a knowledge check, or simply go directly to a final time-bound assessment, requiring a passing score of 80%.

Upon receiving a passing score and completing the feedback survey, participants are granted a LinkedIn-enabled digital credential to signify mastery of the skill, which is valid for one year from date of issuance.
