Marketing Exams and Assignments

Professional Certificate in Marketing

This level is taught by module. Two modules are assessed by examination and two by assignment.

Exams

You will be prepared to take the CIM exams for Marketing Essentials and Assessing the Marketing Environment. Each module is examined twice a year in June or December. People who are happy with the exam route and who have in the past done reasonably well in exams will continue to do so. Oxford College of Marketing is a top performing college and will help to prepare you for the exams should you decide on this route. Exams can be taken at any of CIM's 300 centres around the world including our Oxford centre.

Assignments

You will complete a CIM assignment for Marketing Information and Research and Stakeholder Marketing. There are two assignments each year with strict guidelines on submission dates. People who choose the assignment route often do so because they don't enjoy exams or prefer the experience of an assignment-based project. With this option you need the time to produce fairly long reports. Some students find they need to complete the study for the module including the reading before they are able to tackle the assignments. As a result they may take longer to complete their qualifications.
