OXCOM was the best choice I made for my CIM
Professional Diploma In Marketing Cim Level 6 - November 2011
Learning experience
The tutors were amazingly supportive througout the course and really made the weekly sessions fun and interactive. OXCOM went above and beyond to make sure I got the results I needed and now I have the dream job I wanted.
Facilities
Oxford College of Marketing student support website was fantastic, it had all the lecture notes plus additional reading materials and up to date information on lecture times, rooms etc, tips and study guides. The classes were small and personal to get plenty of time with the tutor.
Student life
I have made lots of friends during my time with OXCOM and I hope to keep in touch after exam results celebrations. There is a fun, relaxed atmosphere and time to spend learning from and supporting other students.
Strong support, friendly down to earth tutors

Highly recommended marketing course
Marketing Stage 2 Postgraduate Diploma (Cim) - April 2011
Learning experience
The Oxford College of Marketing takes marketing and breaks it down into very easily digestible chunks. The tutors are all professional marketers who are specialists in their field and they really understand the requirements of the CIM and what is required to understand the subject matter fully - and pass the exams. Homework, although not a requirement, is designed to get you through the course and fully embed the principles of marketing into your head form a variety of deliverable situations. Highly improtant to help you pass. I happily recommend Oxford College of Marketing - their first time pass rate is exceptional.
Facilities
The Oxford College of Marketing use the Headington campus for evening classes. Although not the best, the classrooms are always clean and fully prepared.
Student life
Evening classes are not designed for student life but the Proprieter, Rosie Phipps, makes every effort to make the experience enjoyable - Christmas drinks and end of year parties are not uncommon and a good opportunity to get to know your classmates and tutrs further.
Professional, thorough and well thought through
Marketing Stage 1 Postgraduate Diploma (Cim) - March 2011
Learning experience
Having previously had a stressful and difficult time with a local FE college, the Oxford College of Marketing were a breath of fresh air. The teaching was professional, thorough and well thought through.
Facilities
I took classes at Reading University and Oxford Brookes, benefiting from their facilities.
Student life
Obviously a part time course does make demands on you in ways that a fulltime course doesn't, but the pacing of the evning sessions generally seemed well thought through.
Flexible, Professional and Supportive
Professional Certificate in Marketing - March 2011
Learning experience
OCOM were pro-active in delivering an outstanding level of support throughout my course, whether via telephone, email or in person during study sessions. I found the advice on how to plan for studying invaluable, in addition to this the quality of advice and guidance on marketing topics that could be directly applied in the workplace was fantastic.
Facilities
An online learning system, great tutors and a good support infrastructure in place meant that help was never far away when needed.
Student life
I studied on the intensive weekend courses, so met my studying colleagues and tutors around 4 times over the 12 month period, however they were all great, like-minded people and it was a very positive and open environment to learn in. Furthermore, with the right tutor and it's likely you can arrange a few pizzas at lunch which was always a bonus!
Strongly Recommend the Oxford College of Marketing

I had some difficult times during my studies for the Diploma. The support received from the Oxford College of Marketing was absolutely brilliant and without it I doubt very much that I would have completed the qualification.

Excellent support
Marketing Stage 1 Postgraduate Diploma (Cim) - March 2011
Learning experience
I took the intensive weekends & distance learning approach, and received excellent tuition at the weekend courses. The support via the College's staff and 'Blackboard' learning site was comprehensive and of high quality - podcasts, webinars, reading material. I highly recommend the College and this approach, if you're happy to manage your own workload away from regular classes.
Facilities
Online 'Blackboard' learning site was very good.

Brilliant teaching in Liverpool
Marketing Graduate Foundation Programme - August 2010
Learning experience
The tutors were really friendly and gave us all time we needed to ask any questions - they made the learning process really interesting and couldn't have been more approachable.
Facilities
Liverpool Hope is a lovely place to learn - we were all able to take our own lunch which was kept in the fridge and the surroundings were inspiring - we were even visited by a fox and a squirrel!
Student life
Other people on the course were really friendly and I felt a bit sad leaving them at the end of the weekend. Tutors joined us on breaks and lunch, which meant we all bonded really well.
CIM recently carried out some research on students doing CIM courses. The results show we are a CIM top rated college and this rating is based on exam success, great tutors, student satisfaction, course structure and course materials.
