The travel might even have to be to another city for those who live in cities where good classroom training courses are not conducted.

Also, with technology having improved, online instructor-led virtual classrooms are as good as actual classrooms, with webinar software allowing for both peer to peer interaction as well as student-teacher interaction. Webinar recordings are also available for those who miss out on sessions.

Classroom programs would only work best for you if you are the personality type that prefers learning in a classroom environment or if you’re not too comfortable with learning in a live webinar format.

23. Indian Institute Of Management, Kozhikode

IIM Kozhikode also has a course on E-Commerce & Digital Marketing.

Advertising and marketing news portals such as AfaqsCampaign India and Social Samosa are also a great source for live case studies, market trends and career opportunities.

All said, Digital marketing is a field where just taking courses or following the industry alone will not make one an expert. Maximum learning can only be gleaned from actual hands-on, on-the-job experience.

Hence, the success of these courses will eventually depend on the quality of digital professionals they send into the industry and how well they execute the acquired knowledge & digital skill sets.

Remember as I always says simply getting course is not going to make you perfect in this fiedl unless and untill you have got the hands-on experience on live projects and you have actually dealt the problems on real basis.

I never got a chance to enter any university for this Digital Marketing course.Whatever I got or achieved is from my all my experience. I still love this beautiful profession and learning more and more.
