An Excerpt from the above written by me needs to be shared as an intro to the reply:1. Linear Editing is a thing of the past in this digital and technology-led age. Hence, it is the Non-Linear editing that remains the way video production is done for all forms i.e. films, documentary, TV serial or music videos etc. Even news reporting videos are also customized. The career prospects for a certificate course are not that high, even in India or Abroad. But, the condition in this skill and creativity, Innovation based job profile will decide the success of the candidate. If one is skilled enough to match the professional acumen of Degree or Master's degree holders in production skills, the job and career are going to be good. If there is a delay in getting the same course recognized and noted, the person has to work very hard and make some works to be shown as a portfolio. Career prospects are good, both in India and abroad.

Final Cut Pro is the globally acclaimed and used software or tool to edit and make movies/films. As we all know and acknowledge that in India, there is a great demand for quality video editing because most of the mass media or film making children are less exposed to the actual work they are required to do. FCP-If the candidate knows the know-how of the tool and possesses a certificate as well is a selling commodity for sure.
-Creativity
-Improvisation
-Quick Response Skills are the three major things needed in an FCP user. If these are present and the Final Cut Pro user is well-versed with the skills-shortcuts there are ample opportunities in production houses, news channels, filmmaking, local level production houses and educational Institutions, other than the ones teaching mass communication and media subjects, also demand people who are good at FCP because this is an age of MOOCs as well as virtual learning, smart classrooms have enhanced the demands for educational programmes. So this video editing software remains the winner all around. The certificate in FCP will certainly get one a job proving the skills and knowledge of FCP.

After editing and proofreading course, you can become an editor/proofreader/writer/ book publisher/ book writer/ website content writer/ content editor, etc. The world has now been digitalized, so the scope of editor and proof-readers have increased both in India as well as abroad. But, the job of an editor and proofreaders is quite different. An editor has to check the Writing style, sentence formation, add or delete words/sentences/ paragraphs whenever required. Whereas proof readers check grammar, punctuation, spelling and other necessary elements of a content. One may join a newspaper agency, magazine, publishing company, or become a freelance editor or proofreader. This work requires very high concentration power and very strong hold on your language. You must have an excellent knowledge of the language, both grammatical as well as vocabulary. A good editor/ proofreader must avoid mistakes excessive use of words.

If you want a career as an actor or a model, this course can help you. After completing your course, you can become an actor, a model, a screenplay writer, a theater artist, an anchor, or a TV host, etc. You may also proceed with a career in Radio as RJ, script writer, recording artist. Basically these courses open up a door into the world of glam, where you can only succeed if you own a talent along with a degree/ certificate. You don't have things to mug up and write but to observe and adapt. An actor can't be successful by just speaking the dialogues provided to him/her by a scriptwriter, but by speaking them with apt feelings and expressions. In the same way, a scriptwriter just doesn't write away a script, he understands the story and writer's dialogues after feeling it. A career in these fields requires lots of hard work, creativity and excellence.

The Question has two sides to Answer- Is it worth to Do a course of this kind via distance learning and the other side is should it be done from INDIA? Let us discuss the first thing First.
1. Linear Editing is a thing of the past in this digital and technology-led age. Hence, it is the Non-Linear Editing that remains the way Video Production is done for all forms like films, documentary, TV Serial or music videos etc. Even News Reporting Videos are also customised. Seeing the DEMAND of this task amd knowing the essentials and challenges, it is NOT Adviseable or suggested that one should go for a NO Classroom Model of Learning "Editing" of any kind and level. Distance Learning, anywhere in the world it is, has its limitations. There are Virtual Platforms and ways like video conference classes etc. Or MOOCs that offer such learning. BUT, we must understand that the actual Learning of skill through Practical and Hands-on while doing the course. If the place offers somewhat like near-regular classes or the student arranged for himself some training then ONLY the distance learning course can do some good.
2. Based on the conclusion above, if the arrangement is made for proper practical training, then do it from INDIA otherwise NOT. IGNOU has offers some courses like this, other institutions might also offer, but it is not suggested to.

Media, especially the Electronic Media has become quite a vast domain of learning as well as jobs today. The considerations of Abroad or national are gone because the digital revolution has trespassed the boundaries. Cinematography has not just remained restricted to films and entertainment anymore. The scope of Cinematography is quite big all around. There are projects that are done on global level and even for a certificate course the scope remains good. As cinematography is learning the CAMERA it's Direction and Use, Photography -Still or Motion - hence the career prospects are always there. The course can work winners for those who have been searching for an opportunity to learn the nuances of Cinematography work. The Certificate Course, however, shall be done preferably from an acknowledged and recognised place.
