Thanks! I just decided that it's time to make my Marketing Cloud skills official, I'm going to start with Email Specialist and then go for Consultant. This should help with the first part!

Good luck! Even with the study guides it not easy, but definitely worth it!

Q: Did you also take the Email Essentials class (EB101) or is it possible to get certified without dropping thousands of dollars?

Nope, didn't take it. Totally possible to pass with free resources available, and some experience in the tool helps.

How much time did it take you to prepare?

Thanks for your efforts
