Why study Advertising foundation course? It may feel impossible, but getting a job in advertising without a degree is entirely possible. The field of advertising is changing, and a traditional degree may not be required for all positions. In fact, many universities don’t teach all the actual skills needed for these in-demand jobs. So, the Level 4 Advertising course is intended for those who wish to acquire a background of the core activities found in an advertising agency or a marketing and communication department of any company in order to get a job in the industry or manage their own advertising campaign.
