+1 to : "best" depends on your goal (SEO, ads, analytics, content, email), budget, and whether you want a credential or just skills. If you are starting from zero, pick one track and go deep. Solid, current options to consider:

A simple 30-day plan that complements 's advice to learn by doing:

  • Week 1: Finish one foundation course and pick a niche (e.g., local service).
  • Week 2: Build a basic landing page and set up GA4. Define a single KPI (leads or sales).
  • Week 3: Run one small campaign ($50-100) on either Google Search or Facebook. Use clear UTM tags.
  • Week 4: Review CTR, CPC, CPA. Kill what underperforms, double down on the winner, and write down what you learned.

Quick vetting tips so you do not waste time: check the last updated date (look for GA4, privacy, and first-party data coverage); favor courses with hands-on projects and quizzes; and match the course to the platform you will actually use. Certifications help with hiring, but portfolios (even small experiments with real numbers) usually speak louder.

As we know such would need a definition of "best." For some this means the right price, the right access (not all will travel to France today for the best courses) and then we need to define what digital marketing is.

Try to be more specific next time about what you call "best."

For me, the best experience has come from reading webmaster forums and then experimenting. Check out Digital Point, Sitepoint, Black Hat Forums, and WebmasterWorld. WebmasterWorld used to be the beer resource for me years ago, but I’m not sure how they stack up today.

Also, I would highly highly recommend Aaron Wall’s SEOBook ebook. It’s a great overview of everything you need to know. However, this was many years ago, so I’m not sure how up to date it is today.

Good luck!!
