    I'm considering doing a one year Springboard course in Digital Marketing while I am doing a Jobbridge marketing internship. The Springboard courses are paid for by the government and the current ones on offer are in DCU and Dublin Business School.
    Has anyone done these courses or Springboard courses like them and if so are they worth doing? How would they compare with say a certificate in the Digital Marketing Institute?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I would love to know about some of these courses too. There are lots and lots on offer (not all Springboard though).

    Has anyone any advice on the different courses?

    As far as I can see there are in and around 100 different courses to choose from when it comes to Digital Marketing training in Ireland.

    I've done the Diploma with the DMI and am now on their PG course. I can't compare them against others, but I've learned so much from them it's unreal. (And gotten a new job too!)

    I think, if you're proactive and smart about where you're applying, and how, then yes, very much so!

    I know it is very basic compared to what DMI etc are offering, but has anyone heard of this one?

    http://www.cmit.ie/courses-management-business-finance-distance-learning/fetac-certificate-in-internet-online-marketing-distance-learning-level.html

    I cannot commit financially to one of the more expensive ones at the moment so I am considering doing it.

    Any info appreciated!

    Hey I did the Certificate in Digital Marketing on the Momentum initiative last summer (April - July) and gained an internship in a web agency from it where I'm still working. I echo what BrianBlaze said about being pro-active though, nobody is going to force you to do anything and the bulk of the work with the course was an ongoing project which required some outside of class hours to work on. It's worth doing though, and you will definitely get a lot out of it if you apply yourself to it, as there is an absolute labyrinth of information on the topic and course content online which you can research to support and expand on what the lecturers deliver in class.
