Think twice before choosing your Marketing college to study at in Cape Town.
For those of you not fami**** with AAA School ofAdvertising they are a Marketing College based in Cape Town City Center and Johannesburg.
They offer three main courses, Copywritting, Desgin and Marketing Degree.
I completed the 3 year Marketing Degree course in 2017, this was my experience...
1st year 2 Lectures will teach you all 6 of your subjects, all of which will happen in the same classroom. Both these lectures have no experience in the marketing industry unless you include retail and hospitality as related experience. The lectures battle to explore ideas beyond the confines of the textbooks. Students only read as much as they feel like or what is necessary for tests and exams. The college doesn't provide much feedback on the textbooks at hand or is conducive to reading extensively. Writting s****s are barely developed, no essays are required or completed, more orientated around short assignments. No time will be required to work on computers at Campus, Marketing Degree students will get no formal training on any software, editing, photoshop, logo creation - This is not only the case in first year but throughout the entire three years.
Second Year 2 Lectures will teach all subjects, one of which is the same from the first year. The main subject called Entrepreneurship where student form team and have to brand a product which they then sell to the college can be bought. Teams who make over 10 thousand for this assignment receive 100% for the assignment, no questions. Doesn't matter your business plan, product originality, social media, attendance... 100%
Third Year Basically done by one lecturer, students only specialise in the last 6 month of this three year degree. Questionable lectures are brought in to run these modules, pushing their own side projects in between. Covering their specific topics only at the surface, especially Digitial.
Summary A small facility which are easily worked up, unprofessional and disorganised. The pool of information with regards to work and case studies are outdated or virtually non-existent, how long have they been in business...? No quality printer on campus. Don't help you put a decent CV together. No creative development,
