If you can commit fully for a few months, a full-time course is the quickest way to switch into digital marketing. I am Rajesh Menon, and I have run Digital Market Academy since 2010. Full-time is intensive by design: you learn faster, build a portfolio sooner, and reach placement in the shortest calendar time. Here is an honest look at who it suits, what the days look like, and how to judge whether it fits your situation.
TL;DR
- Full-time is the fastest, most intensive route into a digital marketing job.
- It suits career switchers, freshers and returners who can commit for a few months.
- At DMA the batch is capped at 6, so intensive still means personal attention.
- It is hands-on from day one: real campaigns on Google Ads, Meta, GA4, Canva and Figma.
- Fee is ₹35,400 all-inclusive, in 2 to 3 installments; new batches every 15 days.
- You get 100% placement assistance and reach it in the shortest time.
Why full-time transforms your career fastest
The value of full-time is simple: speed and momentum. When you learn every day rather than once a week, concepts stay fresh, skills compound, and you build a portfolio in weeks instead of months. For someone changing careers, that short, focused window is often easier than dragging learning out alongside other commitments. You go in, you commit, you come out job-ready. The trade-off is that it needs your full attention for the course length, so it is not for everyone.
What a full-time schedule looks like
Full-time compresses the complete course into a short, intensive run, hands-on throughout.
Who full-time suits (and who it does not)
Full-time suits career switchers, freshers straight out of college, and returners who can dedicate a few months fully to the course. It asks for real commitment: your days go into learning and practice. If you are holding a full-time job you cannot leave, a weekend course is the honest choice; if your days are only partly free, look at part-time. Pick by what your life actually allows.
Small batches, even intensive
Speed is useless if you are lost in a crowd. We cap every batch, full-time included, at a maximum of 6 students, so the trainer can keep pace with each person and clear doubts the same day. New batches start every 15 days, so you can begin soon after you decide.
Placement support and outcomes
Full-time students reach placement support fastest, and it is the same support everyone gets: 100% placement assistance, a resume in two versions (an ATS-clean one and a polished professional one), mock interviews, and practice in the DMA Student Portal app. DMA students typically get placed in the ₹3.6 to 6.2 LPA range across startups, MSMEs and sometimes MNCs, and we are rated around 4.9. A few real journeys:
- Vinod A, B.Tech to digital marketing executive.
- Santhoshi Rekha, career break to placed.
- Krithik Shankar, MBA to SEO executive.
Fees and how they are paid
No surprises: the fee is ₹35,400 total, all-inclusive, payable in 2 or 3 installments, with no hidden charges, and it is the same across formats. See the full fee breakdown and the course ROI. Because full-time gets you earning sooner, the payback is often quickest.
Why our students keep referring us: the flywheel
The reason we can keep batches small is a simple loop: we teach hands-on in small batches, students get placed, they succeed and refer friends and leave reviews, and that fills the next batch. Real outcomes, not ads, keep it turning.
Full-time vs weekend vs part-time
| Format | Best for | Speed to job-ready |
|---|---|---|
| Full-time | Career switchers who can commit fully | Fastest |
| Weekend | Working professionals | Slower (weekends only) |
| Part-time | Students, homemakers, flexible days | Flexible, longer calendar |
All three share the same curriculum, max batch of 6, fee and placement support. Only the pace differs.
