The Certificate Course spreads over a period of three months. It consists of three main modules — editorial production and marketing. To give the students a thorough understanding and an in-depth knowledge, the course comprises lectures, practical assignments, workshops and interactive sessions. Ample care is taken to ensure that students get practical exposure along with theoretical instructions. The course covers communication, finance organisation structure, legal framework, distribution and customer service, rights management and international marketing, apart from the three main modules.
