## In Short
- Zaio is accepting applications for a 9-week, part-time Digital Marketing Bootcamp.
- The next cohort starts August 6, 2026, and applications close July 30, 2026.
- The programme is online and live, and it targets beginners and career switchers.

## What Happened
[Zaio](/zaio) has launched a new Digital Marketing Bootcamp that runs for nine weeks and is designed for people with little to no marketing experience.

The bootcamp is part-time and delivered online with live sessions. Zaio says each module ends with a portfolio deliverable, meaning students finish tasks they can show to employers, like a campaign plan or an SEO audit.

The curriculum covers digital strategy and funnels, positioning and messaging, SEO (search engine optimisation, the work of helping a website show up on Google), paid search and PPC (pay-per-click ads, where you pay when someone clicks), social media, email marketing and automation, influencer marketing and UGC (user-generated content, like customer videos), analytics, and an AI tools capstone.

Zaio also highlights AI tutors and mentor support. AI tutors are automated chat-based helpers that can answer questions at any time, similar to having a study assistant on demand.

On pricing, Zaio lists an upfront payment option and a monthly finance option through funding partners. It also positions the bootcamp as job-focused, with support aimed at helping graduates land entry-level roles.

## Why It Matters
Digital marketing remains a key hiring need for startups and SMEs that rely on online acquisition, social channels, and performance ads. A short, skills-based programme can be a faster path for career changers than a traditional qualification.

Zaio’s emphasis on AI-integrated workflows also reflects how marketing teams are changing. Many roles now expect comfort with AI tools for research, content drafts, reporting, and campaign iteration, even when final decisions still sit with humans.

For South African learners, the August 2026 intake gives a clear timeline to plan around, and the portfolio requirement may help reduce the “no experience” barrier when applying for junior digital marketing jobs.
