Hello sir/ma'am, I am looking/preparing for my master's from IIMs,but my curriculum for UG was not directly focused on marketing related subjects hence i am looking forward to learn foundations /basic of marketing and complete few marketing based online certification courses which shall help me in my master's.Kindly help me understand, what are the few relevant topics/subjects that i should choose for certification courses via coursera like platforms

Ans: You need not do any specific courses related to any subjects as you will learn what you have to in Management college. Especially Marketing you need not do any course. If you want can do some courses on Digital Marketing or Social Media Marketing or using Analytics in Marketing.
Students from unrelated background usually find difficulty in topics like Accounts, Statistics. If you have issue in those areas then can do some basic course.

I am having 25 years of experience in manufacturing industry. Based on my experience and skills I got promotions and I was serving acting as assistant manager At each & every stage I got trainings to fullfill role & meet expectations. My education is basis equivalent to ITI. I did some courses Diploma in industrial engineering from National institute of industrial research and development, national certificate in supervision from National Productivity council, six sigma yellow belt from MSME, recently I did short term online courses diploma in supervision, diploma in quality management, diploma in operations management from Alison, scientific problem solving from the continuous improvement academy school. Now I am planning to do other short term online courses offered by iit and iim through edx and Coursera platform. I am looking for courses like operations management, leadership skills, strategic management, introduction to business management-winning internally. Can you please suggest which will help & are these courses will be considered if I do from edx or Coursera. Now I am looking for a job for a higher role.
Ans: You did too many courses. No need to go for extra courses. Your negative point is your basic qualification and positive point is your huge experience. Now only based on experience try for other jobs. Too many certificate based course will lead the employer to confusion. Best of luck. Just follow me. May God Bless You.
