There are no specific requirements for this course. All that it needs is your open mind and creativity
Like Swimming, Marketing is only learned by practice. So try to apply the course content at your organization
I would say that the content is intensive. I have extracted and summarised data from more than ten marketing books, 20 case studies, and many examples from my experience in the private, public, and academic sectors
