What qualifications to I need to get into Advertising and Marketing?

Question

I have a degree in Psychology degree. Would I need to get a business degree as well? Is there a "certificate program" or something like that which would qualify me?

Answer 1

In this field, to be good, one always needs to learn.  The "qualifications" depend on the job.  The most important qualification is the ability to learn.  Depending on the "job" you usually can take additional training courses:  i.e. media: maybe certification in media buying and analysis.  Promotional Items: CAS or MAS, most of the specializations have advanced training programs through trade organizations.  Plus you need to know the basics.  The more you know, the more valuable you become.

Answer 2

We would always promote from inside our company.  You don't need a degree.  You have to have a mind that works differently than 99.9percent of the population.  Either you have it or you don't.  Fill out some applications and see what happens. /

Answer 3

There are college programs that you can finish. You can probably transfer some of your credits and sit in second year or do it part time.

You'll also need to find some co-op or internships to get started.

All the best.
