Program overview
The Graduate Certificate - Advertising - Creative and Digital Strategy at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Toronto is a graduate certificate that gives you a practical, career-focused education in this field.
This graduate certificate develops creative and digital advertising strategy — ideation, copy and art direction, digital content, campaign strategy and portfolio development — on top of your existing qualification. Graduates pursue creative and account roles in agencies and in-house teams: junior copywriters and art directors, content creators and campaign coordinators.
Delivered at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Scarborough, Toronto. Note that this field is not among the priority categories in Canada's post-2024 PGWP rules, so the program may not support a Post-Graduation Work Permit — if working in Canada after graduation matters to you, confirm the current position on Centennial's official PGWP-Aligned list and with IRCC before applying.
Graduates are well placed for roles such as Copywriter, Art Director and Digital Content Creator, gaining hands-on skills and real Canadian experience in Toronto's large job market.
Beyond technical learning, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.
Studying at Ontario's first public college — one of Canada's most multicultural campuses, with automatic entrance scholarships of up to $5,000 for eligible new international students — you get supportive services and a welcoming community.
