Here is what some of the students are saying:
Troy - AWESOME COURSE! I bought like 4 courses (including stuff for google tag manager) on Udemy to teach me this and NOTHING came close to what Anil delivered in this course! I don't usually rate courses and place comments but I will make an exception in this case. The phenomenal class covers everything, & well worth the money!
Kate Proyka - The course is well structured, and clear, and covers all elements of the tool. There are several examples that can be easily implemented and make sense.

Excellent intro for begginer, I had different variables on my site that didnt let me follow to the T steps shown in the videos but that pushed me to troubleshoot it, and find solutions making my learning even more impactful and interactive.

Instructor has low energy throughout the course. In the first three parts, it feels like he is reading a boring user-manual instead of engaging the audience with practical examples and working alongside us. He opens every menu and gives a sentence or two about each item instead of actually showing how a person might use it. There is little thought to the order of how these concepts are introduced--just whatever we see in the menu is the next thing that is discussed even as the audience has little concept for what these things do. I would much prefer seeing him walk us through example use-cases while explaining why he's making the choices he's making. I want a professional to teach concepts...not just have a dry user-manual read to me.

Yes, it did help so far, however, sometimes, depending on the theme already used, the child theme had to copy more file than the ones available (headers for instance). If you are confortable with all the website stuff, it goes quite fast, but for another audience, might be quite difficult to actually follow :)

This is an amazing course because it not only provides an overview of Google Tag Manager but it also demonstrates basic steps and discusses common scenarios. Irrespective of whether you're a pro or a novice, you'll find this course helpful!

HI do a lot of Udemy courses and hardly leave a review. This guy is very deep and he knows his stuff. I saw many Tag Manager courses and you tube videos, but this is the expert. I don't use this lightly, this guy is a class that, he is excellent, and I really learn things that took me time before and I was confused. So, I highly recommend this dude and just if you want to know about google tag manager, don't miss him. Best of class. Thank you Mr. Barta I really respect you after I watch your course. Boyko

I have honed my skills in a brief period of time. Thanks to this course by Mr Batra. Though certain things as mentioned in the topics should have been covered in detail without glossing over. Like banner view tracking mentioned in the course but not explained, etc. The lightening response time to the query being submitted is worth appreciating. I’m still not done with the course. Overall satisfied with what I have gained in a brief period of time.

Amazing course. Anil updated his course with the new changes to GTM after more than 2 years of having this course online! That speaks to his character and his commitment to his students. Having found myself in need of GTM again, and having been lost, even after Anil patiently explained all of the functions and features of GTM back-in-the-day, I have to say I am still thrilled to give this course 5-stars.
By Zsolt Borsi on 5/11/2020
Thank you very much for your course! You explain very clear I understood everything, and it was very good that you answered prompt to my question. It was my one of the best investment into my knowledge, I definitely recomend to everybody who would like to understand and use the GTM!
By Eduardo Dohrmann on 1/14/2020
The one course to have on Udemy if you know nothing about tracking and want to become a pro. Anil is an authority in the area and this is evident in the way the whole course is carried out. Yes it is fast-paced but this helped me think harder and quicker ( as it is a video lecture I could go back as many times as I wanted). I solved a critical client issue by using the events feature taught in the course. Thanks Anil

When I started this course, I don't even have much experience in the tag manager and so don't know about its functions. But right now I can integrate schema codes, event tracking codes, video tracking, etc without the help of a developer. I strongly recommend this course if you want to excel in GTM. It will be better if include a video about e-commerce tracking implementation.
