Hi everyone! I would like to share with you how I made the right choice in taking the online course in Digital Marketing Nanodegree Program.

For the past month I have been attending Udacity’s Digital Marketing Nanodegree Program and this is something I was looking for a long time.

After I did my Master in marketing management few years ago, I actually did not know what career path should I take, what marketing department should I join.

I have not had much practical experience, so I thought how can i get it.

As online education getting more traction from the students and offers high quality material. I started to search online for different online courses. I found one that was particularly interesting for me. It was a course offered by Udacity.

In the information page of Digital Marketing Nanodegree Program I had read all the information needed and in the syllabus there was a short explanation about this course.

My main three requirements were real life projects, available online, and flexible schedule. Digital Marketing Nanodegree Program offers real time projects I can run on the major platforms. It has real time feedback and it is 100% online. The course consists of ten modules. Each module has a deadline and has to be completed in three weeks. The work should be done till the deadline and rest of the studying I can do any time.

As a result, I have decided to enroll to Digital Marketing Nanodegree Program. When I started this course I already knew what to expect since I can see all the information on the web page. But, I had no idea it will be that interesting and organize, each module include a bunch of the lessons and great, handful quiz. I already knew what is marketing fundamentals, how to create a content, and where to post that content, and by the way thanks for Digital Marketing Nanodegree course I am finally posting my first blog post. And so much to go!

I believe Udacity’s Digital Marketing Nano Degree course will bridge the gap between real-world skills, relevant education, and employment.
