The Certified Digital Marketer course is 100% claimable course, under the HRD Corp Signature Programme.
Technology and digital media have evolved over the last decade and completely changed the way that people communicate, discover, and consume products. With 3.2 billion people on social media and eCommerce sales expected to reach $4.5 trillion USD by 2021, every business is embracing digital marketing to tap into new audiences, boost brand engagement, and drive bottom-line growth.
According to McKinley Marketing Partners’ annual trends report, 61% of surveyed companies expected to add digital marketers to their teams. And yet supply has struggled to keep up as companies compete for qualified talent, particularly at junior- to mid-levels of seniority. Investing in this future-proof skill set can help you advance in your current profession or explore a growing field.
Digital Marketing is our best entry-level course for junior marketers and others exploring a career that bridges business and tech. You’ll find a diverse range of students in the classroom, including:
Traditional marketers or specialised marketers who want to upgrade and diversify their skill set and gain confidence with digital tools.
Designers, copywriters, salespeople, and product managers looking to collaborate more effectively with their marketing counterparts.
Junior marketers, recent graduates, or career changers who are seeking a foundational skill set and confidence to succeed on the job.
Entrepreneurs and freelancers who want to grow their own business, expand their client base, or turn a passion project into a reality.
Ultimately, this programme attracts students that have an interest in running smart, customer-focussed campaigns that are backed by data.
Here are just some of the benefits you can expect as a GA student:
40 hours of expert instruction designed to build a well-rounded foundational digital marketing skill set.

GA’s Digital Marketing course is well-regarded by many top employers, who contribute to our curriculum and use our marketing programmes to train their own teams.
This is a beginner-friendly programme with no prerequisites, although many students are familiar with basic marketing concepts and have worked on campaigns. Whether you’re brand new to the field or you’re looking to get more from existing campaigns, our curriculum will enable you to explore the full suite of modern marketing tools and put them to work for you, your company, and your career.
Yes! All of our part-time courses are designed for busy professionals with full-time work commitments. If you’re able to dedicate a full week to learning, we also have a full-time, accelerated 1-week option.
You will be expected to spend time working on homework and projects outside of class hours each week, but the workload is designed to be manageable with a full-time job.
If you need to miss a session or two, we offer resources to help you catch up. We recommend you discuss any planned absences with your instructor.
It’s up to you! Our Remote courses offer a learning experience that mirrors GA’s on-campus offerings but allow you to learn from the comfort of home. You’ll still get access to the expert instruction, learning resources, and support network that GA is known for.
If you prefer to learn alongside your peers and can make it to campus, our in-person courses allow you to take advantage of our beautiful classrooms and workspaces.
Our Admissions team can advise you on the best format for your personal circumstances and learning style.
For your final project, you’ll work on a real-world marketing problem, crafting an end-to-end campaign plan across multiple channels. You’ll set objectives and KPIs, engage with customer research and storytelling, lay out tactics and a creative brief, and harness data to optimise your campaign. You’ll also deliver a final presentation which can serve as a campaign case study for stakeholders, future employers, or your portfolio.
We encourage you to tackle a marketing challenge that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.
Throughout the course, you’ll also complete a number of smaller projects designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit.
