Adult Post Secondary Education
I’m a mom (34F) of two and looking to go back to school when my youngest starts kindergarten in the fall. After at least 2 years of thinking what kind of new mom identity I want, I’m looking at doing an online Marketing certificate course to slowly get something under my belt. I have my own small self-taught photography business and I very much enjoy doing social media posts for myself and the small business I work for. I feel a marketing course is a great choice for myself.
There’s so many options and time and time again when I bring up post secondary education options my outside family who raised me is very critical about my choices and seemingly make me second guess myself all the time or make me feel like I’m not capable. So I’d rather ask here from strangers (make it make sense I guess).
As a manager/business owner l, are there individuals you will NOT hire just based off of what school they went to?
What level of education do you prefer to see in a marketing field? (Certificates, diplomas, etc)
Which schools are “scammy”? I know SAIT and Bow Valley are reputable, but what about others like CDI or Reeves?
Please feel feee to leave any other feedback or suggestions. I just want to make the right choice and not waste my time.
