Emma graduates with flying colours

I chose to study the CIM Certificate in Professional Digital Marketing because I felt ready to take the next step in my career. However, before stepping into a management position, I wanted to gain a professional qualification.

I spoke to the team at NESMA and we believed the CIM Digital Marketing qualification would provide formal recognition of my skills in this area and without it I probably wouldn’t have got the job at Signable.

The team at NESMA was really supportive of my studies which was all taking place whilst there was a global pandemic. I was also working full-time and then re-located across the country to Bristol in the midst of my studies.

I had to be extremely disciplined with my learning, which at times was hard. At the end of a busy day you naturally want to log offline but I was logging back on. However, online classes opened me up to a wide range of marketers each with their own learning journeys. Some of whom I am still in touch with today.

Studying for my Digital Marketing qualification allowed me to put what I had learnt into practice and successfully progress to a managerial position. Without the skills and knowledge I gained as part of the course, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

I would advise any marketer to tap into their CIM network. I have always found it to be friendly, supportive and a brilliant platform to share knowledge.
