Awesome, good job on getting a quote. I looked through Search Engine Academy of Oregon’s list of certified students. It looks like most of the students are either business owners or people in some sort of marketing position. Do you think a graduate of this program, or of PSU’s SEO class has a better chance of landing a SEO job over someone who learned SEO on their own?
Chris – it couldn’t hurt.
