MICA's Advanced CCC Programme is India's answer to this gap. Over two intensive years, we transform passionate creatives into versatile leaders who don't just make ads - they shape narratives across film, digital, social, experiential, and emerging media. This isn't about learning faster. It's about learning deeper.

Stage 1: Depth Over Speed
One year teaches you the craft. Two years lets you master it. You don’t just learn skills — you evolve into a creative force. Copywriting becomes your voice. Art direction becomes your language. Briefs become visions.
Stage 2: Industry-Ready, Future-Proof
The creative industry moves fast — and expects more. By year two, you’re not just portfolio-ready — you’re launching live campaigns, managing teams, and navigating creative business with confidence.
Stage 3: From Execution to Leadership
Most programs train you to work at agencies. We prepare you to lead them. Creative leadership, team dynamics, and entrepreneurial thinking aren’t electives — they’re built into your foundation.
