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.

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.
