International SEO School Opens in Barcelona

18th May 2012

Education is very important and with a quickly evolving industry like the search industry it is difficult to keep up. Especially if you are not just focussing on one specific country or region. So some extra education when it comes to International SEO and Social Media is not a luxury to leave aside.

This week at the International Search Summit London Webcertain, the leading international SEO company who also organize the ISS, launched the “International SEO School” in Barcelona to give marketers the opportunity for that extra piece of international knowledge. Courses so far are International SEO, PPC and the Search / Social Media connection. Trainers include Andy Atkins-Krüger, Anders Hjorth and Bas van den Beld.

The International SEO School is based in Barcelona, close to Barcelona’s main El Prat airport. This does not mean the courses are focused on Spanish marketers alone. Far from. The courses have a very international character, both in content, location as well as in the trainers who all come from different parts of Europe.

Andy Atkins-Krüger is thrilled with the new initiative:

“In our searches for the ideal location Barcelona was chosen because it’s a very popular destination which means there are direct flights from the US, the east and from virtually every major airport in western Europe – including a wide selection of cheap flights. It’s also a city with a great deal to offer delegates in terms of places to visit in the downtime from their studies.

 

We believe there is a need in the market for face-to-face intensive training and have designed our courses around a carefully balanced combination of presentation, question & answer, exercises and business games. Places are strictly limited to 12 delegates to ensure a high level of attention and engagement. As well as being educational, the courses will be a lot of fun!”

The first course of this new initiative is already starting next week, on the 22nd of May. This course will be lead by Andy Atkins-Krüger. course covers everything from the initial research and planning for international SEO through geo-targeting and geo-selection approaches and onto managing inbound links and social media connections.

As said the courses (find a schedule here) are all very internationally focussed. Important on the content is that it has different levels and different elements within it. It is not just about language, cultural aspects for example play a big role in the courses.

A list of all scheduled courses, as well as detailed course programmes, can be found at http://www.internationalseoschool.com/ Further course dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
