Is it worth to pursue an advanced certificate in advertising management from distance learning in India and why?

If you are working in the field of advertising Management and you want to enhance your knowledge base, then it is beneficial only when you can have opportunities to apply that knowledge. Advertising Management is a practical field and any sort of distance programme will be of limited help, if you are not getting any opportunities to apply that knowledge.

Any distance learning course can only be beneficiary, if it doesn't have any practical knowledge and only theory is associated. But, mass communication is a field of practical, it is the only stream, where your physical presence is required, so having additional certificates aren't bad, but you need to have a full time degree course to pursue your career in this stream. If you don't have the knowledge of how to use a Video camera, then no study can make you fit for any company. Practical knowledge and training are needed and are the backbone of mass communication. These distance education courses will only make your theoretically strong, but won't give you the right and proper exposure that is being needed the most in the fields of Mass communication. So, choose your path wisely and select the best without wasting your time.

Learning and certificate is never worthless. So, if you see yourself in an advertising company, you must surely pursue a certificate course in advertisement management. But, distance learning is only beneficial if you are already working in a media organization. If not, distance learning can be a waste of time or a mode of certificate collection. This is because distance learning doesn't give you any practical idea about the industry. So, if you are interested in this course, you must first join an advertising company, and then pursue your distance learning so that you are gaining bookish as well as practical knowledge. There are several universities offering distance learning such as: - Symbiosis Center for Distance Learning, NMIMS, Sikkim Manipal University, Amity University, Indira Gandhi National Open University, Annamalai University. Hope, this will help you in choosing your career smartly.
