Digital marketing has become one of the most essential skills for students, business owners, and freelancers today. With hundreds of institutes offering different types of courses, choosing the right training program is often confusing.
Most people end up selecting a course based only on fees and duration — but that’s where the biggest mistakes happen.
To help you make the right decision, here are 7 important factors you must check before joining any digital marketing course, along with how we follow the same standards at Digital Toppers.
1. Check the Trainer’s Real Industry Experience
The biggest difference between average and high-quality training is the trainer’s real-world exposure.
A trainer who has worked with actual brands can:
- Share practical strategies
- Guide you with real case studies
- Teach you how industry campaigns are executed

3. Choose a Course That Matches Your Goals
Every learner is different — and so their training needs should also be different.
Most institutes teach a common syllabus for everyone.
But the right course should be customized based on who you are and what you want to achieve.

A good institute must allow you to:
- Work on real accounts
- Create own website
- Create strategies
- Build reports
- Analyse data
