My experience during the Digital Marketing and Content Creation course was that it was different to what I expected it to be. I thought that it would be more social media focused but was more spread over different areas such as public relations and multimedia web authoring. My time and experience in the college was good as I met lots of new people and learned new things in the course. I am set to do the two year Higher National Diploma for Business in the college this year and next year. From doing this new course I hope to go on and do my university degree in business and pursue a career in business.
