About the Advertising Certificate

In modern society advertising is all around us; even when we don’t even notice it. In such a competitive market, advertising professionals have to be clever, entertaining and memorable at the same time if they want their campaign to succeed. Whilst studying an advertising course with learndirect, you will focus on nine specific modules which aim to give you a foundation knowledge of how the advertising world works.

First of all, you will consider the important factors you should take into account when entering advertising. You will then go on to examine possible costs of advertising and the platforms which are available to you. During the course of your studies, you will also learn about the importance and the functions of agencies, public relations and advertising for the small business. Altogether, the course spans over 110 learning hours, but at learndirect we encourage you to take all the time you need to complete your work.

Who should study this course?

This course has been designed for anyone who wants to get into advertising. If you have a creative mind and the drive to succeed then this diploma could be the key to your future career. The Advertising Certificate would also be beneficial for small to medium business owners who are looking to learn the skills they need to promote their companies.

All we ask is that you have the motivation to engage in home study, and an interest in pursuing advertising. Also, as this is a distance learning course, it is suitable for people with all schedules. All you need is a computer with access to the internet.

What happens after the course?

By the end of this course you will know all the important factors that professional advertisers must consider. You will also understand how an advert progresses from the initial idea phase through to the production.

If you enjoyed studying this course, you may decide to take your studies further. A course like this one may gear candidates towards further distance learning courses, or even an undergraduate level degree. There are plenty of degrees in advertising and related subjects offered across the UK.

On completion of the course you will possess a certificate of completion which could help you into employment right away. Roles you may be able to pursue include but are not limited to:

  • Advertising
  • Marketing
  • Copy writing

Missed the sale (40% off) but was called and they honoured it!

I saw by chance they had a 40% off flash sale (2.5 hours only) and tried to pay, but my banking app failed and the window of opportunity closed, meaning it went back to the full price. I got a call shortly afterwards from a lady called Holly who not only talked me through the purchase, but also honoured the original 40% discount which is amazing. She was lovely to talk to and very patient especially when my app froze again ;)

I had a great experience enrolling…

I had a great experience enrolling thanks to Solomon Watson. He was so patient and he made it easy to get through the enrolment, he also broke it down for me so I could have a better understanding. We spoke via phone call and he made me feel welcome which made me want to join even more as it was all good vibes.

The adviser was helpful & professional & put me at ease.

The lady i spoke with, was called Courtney, she was very pleasant & really helped with my decision on moving forward in starting my Grade 3 in Dog Grooming, she talked me through the payments, & my commitments, there was nothing I didn't understand. She put me at ease, as I find most things overwhelming.
