    Yes.
    But the precise level of "good" depends on the individual's aptitudes and motivations.

    A single course is unlikely on its own to make you a good project manager. In the company you're interested in such a role, what do the existing managers believe?

    A course may or may not help, and a marketing background may or may not help. It depends on a client's or an employer's needs and your personal interests and skill set.

    yes. Marketing Communications requires a good ability in project management to be successful. And people management.

    So basically what I understand is first your interest ,second your skill set and the requirements of employer.

    Being good is one thing, getting better is another. The latter boils down to seven things: commitment, focus, willingness, consistency, tenacity, ability, and opportunity.
