If you, or a member of your team, is interested in studying for a professional marketing qualification to help grow your marketing prowess, work towards becoming a Chartered Marketer and further your career prospects, there is a network of accredited study centres across the region.
Choosing an accredited study centre gives you peace of mind that their method and syllabus meets CIM’s exacting standards and that they are Ofqual regulated.
CIM’s study centres give you the flexibility to learn in a way that suits you and your lifestyle – from bite size flexible modules through to full qualifications. You can choose how you want to study from, face to face, distance learning, or mix of the two. Each CIM module is based on its unique Professional Marketing Standards designed to help marketers meet the increasing demands of them at every stage in their career.
CIM Network Manager South West Maureen Wincott explains: “Our accredited centres in the South West provide some or all of the four levels of CIM professional qualification ranging from the level 3 Foundation Certificate in Marketing, the level 4 Certificate in Professional Marketing, the level 6 Diploma in Professional Marketing to the level 7 Chartered Professional Diploma in Marketing.”
