Don't get me wrong the course is good, but if the explanation of how of the things were done and where each things are, I personally feel it would've helped me more. Otherwise great course.

By Subhasmita Senapati on 8/26/2026

For me, this is the best course on Udemy after completing 2 other courses on Meta ads. He explains each topic very well and tries to cover every topic. If you are a beginner like me, you can definitely choose this course. Only I feel some topics are a little lengthy; no need for 18 hrs. It can be minimised.

By Ben on 7/9/2026

I completed this course in entirety, it is an amazing primer. I went from knowing nothing on Meta ads to now knowing how little I know! (Jokes aside, well structured and well made, I do recommend.) For improvements: It would be nice to have projects to follow along with, but I'll be making them for myself. Thank you!

By Chantell Botes on 6/10/2026

I am learning alot iro anderstanding although alot of my settings done previously was by hook and crook correct. Really looking forward to learning more.

By Anna Samvel Khachatryan on 5/28/2026

The course was god and informative l, but it was too detailed, when sometimes it was not necessary. Too much breakdowns. Not the main stuff.

By Matteo Ferrando on 4/9/2026

Great job, Jim Esen! Really well done. Finally, a course that touches every aspect of the ads process. I would have added a little bit more about Meta Business Suite, showing how it is the technical flow of working for other clients using our dashboard, but it's ok. This is a full 5 stars for me.

By Sekinat abdulwakeel on 2/13/2026

I left this rating because the course was well structured, easy to follow, and very practical. The instructor explained concepts clearly, and I was able to apply what I learned immediately. It exceeded my expectations.

By Maxime Richerd on 1/4/2026

It's a great course. He knows what he talks about. I wish it was a bit more accessible. I hoped to see exercices that I could implement easily.

By Athiya Farida Bilqis on 11/14/2025

it is really good, Jim explained it very clear and easy to understand. Also, i really lovehow this course not just focus on technical/operating skill like how to set up, but emphasize the fundamental.

By Kamran Ali on 11/1/2025

(listen on 1.25x speed) Thank God this course is actually up to date with many of FB and meta features seen today. BE CAREFUL of courses which have higher ratings and larger amounts of students enrolled. Unfortunately I've been caught out before with out-dated courses. Nearly finished section 2. The teacher has done a great job and fully explained things. I had no actual idea of what some of the other options were, and I've been posting for a short while now. will update as i get further through the course.
