Amazon AdsIIDE offers two certification tracks under its online digital marketing courses: the Advanced Certification in Digital Marketing and the Professional Certification in Digital Marketing & Strategy. Both tracks include a Generative AI specialisation and a campus immersion experience, where students can experience IIDE offline over five days.
The main difference between the Advanced Certification in Digital Marketing and the Professional Certification in Digital Marketing lies in the learning experience and the knowledge it provides to the learners. The Advanced Certification in Digital Marketing is a 4-month program primarily preferred by college students, freshers, small business owners, and influencers. The Professional Certification in Digital Marketing is a 6-month program primarily preferred by working professionals, medium-sized business owners, and freelancers. The latter includes a focus on agency and leadership skills and provides an agency visit.
ACDM - The eligibility criteria are a 12th Grade Pass (10+2) with a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate or equivalent. However, any individual who is 16 years and above can also apply for the program. PCDMS - The eligibility criteria are a Graduation in any field with a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate or equivalent. However, any individual who is 22 years and above can also apply for the program.
Your lectures will be scheduled based on your chosen weekday or weekend batch. Lectures for Gen AI specialisation will be scheduled on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays - running through the first two months of the program. Additionally, expect 2-3 hours per week dedicated to hands-on projects and assignments.
A digital marketing course with placement can significantly impact your career by improving your skills, knowledge, and employability. Here are some key benefits:
-Validation of Skills and Knowledge: Earning a certification in digital marketing ensures your skills and expertise are recognised by a reputable authority, making you a credible candidate in the field.
-Competitive Edge: While many people pursue free digital marketing courses, having a specialised certification from a reputed institute sets you apart in the job market.
-Networking Opportunities: Enrolling in a digital marketing course often provides access to super sessions, seminars, and guest lectures with industry professionals, allowing you to expand your professional network.
-Enhanced Earning Potential: Professionals with certifications from a digital marketing course with placement reportedly earn higher salaries compared to those without formal training.
-Career Advancement: A recognised certificate in digital marketing can open doors to better job roles, enable career progression, and support a smooth transition if you’re aiming for a career change.
Batches are kept small deliberately so every student gets the mentorship, placement support and personal attention they deserve throughout the entire course. Speak to a program advisor for current batch details.

No, IIDE does not provide any digital marketing courses in Hindi as of now. Since IIDE’s digital marketing course caters to a diverse audience from different parts of the world, the common language for training is English for the comfort and better understanding of students.
"Here are the top 2 specialised courses to consider based on your requirements:
-Professional Certification in Digital Marketing & Strategy (PCDMS) - A 6-month program designed specifically for working professionals looking to upskill while managing their jobs.
Advanced Certification in Digital Marketing (ACDM) - A 4-month course designed for students seeking to boost their credibility alongside their bachelor's degree."
Yes, you can! IIDE offers comprehensive Online Digital Marketing Courses that range from 4 to 6 months, covering essential areas like SEO, SEM, SMM, and content marketing. The course provides flexible learning, allowing you to study at your own pace from anywhere.
Scholarships are available on a merit basis. Speak to your program advisor to find out what you qualify for.
Quite a bit beyond the curriculum. You'll be part of small, intentional batches where every student gets personal attention, mentorship, and dedicated career growth assistance. Throughout the program, you'll get access to exclusive masterclasses with some of the biggest brand builders, CMOs, and digital agency leaders in the industry. The Gen AI specialisation and campus immersion experience add another layer entirely.
Yes, a laptop is required for the program. Most of the tools and platforms you'll be working with are best experienced on a full desktop setup rather than a phone or tablet.
Plan for a minimum of 4 hours a day. Your live lectures run for around 2 hours depending on your batch - weekday students attend on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while weekend students attend on Saturdays and Sundays. Gen AI specialisation lectures are additionally scheduled on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays during the first two months. The remaining time goes into projects, assignments, and hands-on practice. It's designed to fit around your life, but consistency is what gets you results
Yes, attendance is mandatory and it directly impacts your career growth assistance eligibility. If you know you're going to miss a class, communicate it with your program manager in advance. Recorded versions of sessions are available so you never fall too far behind, but staying consistent with your live classes is what makes the real difference.
