CXL gave me a big lift in my career.
Few months after my Growth Marketing Minidegree, I got a job.
Ever since then, the story has been different.

2. Is a good tool in keeping our staff (they’re growing and we aid in that).
3. Is an awesome source of new opinions/methods to try out on our clients.

Anyone interested in genuinely understanding the math behind CRO and A/B testing absolutely has to use CXL.
My whole team has a great time discussing the material and aligning our views on processes we use, and to come up with ideas to implement in the future.

Yasmine de Aranada, Growth Strategist @ Market 8
This course is packed with gold! Momoko is an awesome teacher – I took the course late so only got access to recordings, and even with that, I am able to use every bit of it in my deliverable.
Josh R.
CXL has lead to more professional growth than any other year of my life. The best educational investment I have ever made.
Chris Out
For the hard skills, we use CXL to enable all our growth hackers and CRO people, who have different clients with different needs. Everybody can follow a tailored course for the stuff that they need to learn. The next thing we do, we create a learning plan per person, and we check in with people to see how fast are they learning. That learning plan is created based on their ambitions, what their clients need, and how they want to evolve.
Crystal Ignatowski, Marketing Content Developer @ Surety Solutions
I’ll be honest, I didn’t entirely understand what the CXL was at first. Then, I realized it was a gold mine. The Institute is jam-packed with courses, certificate programs, and recordings of past events/courses. The CXL was my guide book for many many months and because of that, I am leaps and bounds above the rest. Everything the Institute publishes is part of the top 5%. There is no fluff in the Institute; only real, actionable, and result-driven content. If you think you know stuff, give the CXL a try. You’ll be shocked at how much you have to gain.
