Hello Everyone, Welcome to KDMI’s another Digital Marketing blog. Under this blog, I am going to tell you everything about digital marketing certifications and help you to get all Major Digital Marketing certification which is important to showcase as a digital marketer.

Is Digital Marketing Certification Mandatory to get the jobs?

No, but sadly in Indian society, certification is considered one of the most valuable assets because our education system is based on certifications. But things are changing in today’s world and now companies are checking skills more than certifications and they are hiring candidates based on skills competency not on the number of certifications candidates are possessing.

Is Digital Marketing Institute certifications are valuable?

So far Digital Marketing course hasn’t become mainstream subject like engineering and MBA so university affiliation is not there,

Any registered company can create a digital marketing course and can provide a course completion certificate. Some names it Basic, some names it Diploma & Master in Digital Marketing, some say Advance Digital Marketing Certification. The fact is the valuation of the certification goes with brand equity.
