Save Time and Money - Advice for marketers looking for training

For those interested in pursuing a career in marketing, it is probably necessary to seek advice about entry levels.  By beginning on the correct level, it is possible to save a lot of time and money.

The Chartered Institute of Marketing qualifications offers four levels that can act as a helping hand into the world of marketing.  These levels are: Introductory Certificate, Professional Certificate, Professional Diploma and Chartered Professional Post Graduate in Marketing.

Speed up your entry level and save money and time...

It may be possible on the basis of work experience and/or qualifications to enter at the higher levels. We will be happy to make an assessment of your entry level, according to supporting evidence you can provide, and will help you with your application. Oxford College of Marketing will try to help students with marketing experience (but no marketing in their degree) to gain entry to a higher level of study.

In case you are a little rusty on theory, we will give you a Graduate Foundation Programme with material that will help you to revise basic marketing theory covered in the lower level courses. This material is available to all students who apply for the Professional Diploma and the Professional Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing and will help you to prepare for the CIM level entry tests. The test, along with advice from the college, should help you to decide your level of entry.
