If YOU are an affiliate manager or online merchant with an affiliate program who wants to increase affiliate program sales by attracting Super Affiliates, I can’t recommend any better training than Affiliate Classroom’s, “AC Certified“. HAPPY affiliates make for HUGE returns.

Are you looking for a job in the affiliate marketing industry?

There are TONS of affiliate manager jobs available and new jobs are being posted everyday. To increase your chances of qualifying for these positions, your best best is to take professional training, get certified and get help with career placement.

There’s only ONE training for affiliate program managers that will assist you with all three.

Affiliate Classroom, a leading publisher of educational tools for the interactive advertising industry, has an innovative training and certification program for professional Affiliate Managers called “AC Certified“.

The program is made up of three components:

1. Training
2. Certification
3. Careers

1 – Training

The foundation of the AC Certified program is an automated, online training course. It includes volumes of text, illustrations, downloadable resources and video presentations.

The course offers instruction on a broad range of affiliate program management topics such as how to launch an affiliate program, creating a fair commission structure, and how to recruit, train and communicate with affiliates.

The course consists of 10 modules and the screenshot below gives you a peek at Module 1, Foundational Affiliate Marketing Concepts.

At the end of every module there is a quiz.

To pass, a participant must achieve a minimum of 80% and no more than 5 wrong or skipped answers are permitted.

2 – Certification

At the end of the course, individuals are presented with a final exam. When they achieve a passing grade on the exam, they are awarded their official Affiliate Manager Certification. AC Certified Affiliate Managers receive a digital certificate logo to place on their website, and their names are listed on the ACCertified website.

3 – Careers

The program is rounded out with a career center designed to join affiliate managers with the merchants, networks and agencies that are looking to hire them. Certified affiliate managers can list themselves and search through open positions. Likewise, employers can post their open positions and search for pre-qualified, certified affiliate managers and certified outsourced program management agencies.

In addition to teaching affiliate managers all they need to know, they earn industry-recognized credentials and quickly and easily be connected to the merchants, networks and agencies that so desperately need them.

Industry Professional and Students’ Comments

About the program, founder of Hammock Ventures Lisa Riolo commented, “Having an independent, credible resource offering certifications benefits everyone in Affiliate Marketing. And, with its excellent reputation and years of educational contribution to the industry, Affiliate Classroom is clearly in the ideal position to create and maintain the standards for certifying affiliate marketing
professionals.“

“Certification is a cornerstone in many traditional professions like real estate and accounting. In recent years, the concept has been transferred to the interactive advertising industry as the likes of Google and Yahoo Search Marketing have begun training and certifying marketers.”

Brook Schaaf added, “Affiliate marketing management is more complicated and involved than many – perhaps most – people realize. This certification course will provide a solid groundwork for people new to the industry. This is a welcome addition to the affiliate marketplace that should help to cultivate the next generation of affiliate managers,
who are generally in short supply.”

Affiliate Classroom has been a recognized provider of Affiliate Manager training since January 2006.
