Chartered Institute of Marketing exam revision programmes
How to Study -> Revision programmes
The Oxford College of Marketing exam revision programme offers students not studying with us the opportunity to join us in the run-up to the June examinations (and December ones for some modules). The college has an excellent reputation and exam pass rates are substantially higher than the CIM average.

The full-day revision programme includes:
- a brief overview of the syllabus and Part A questions
- practice of Part B questions in groups and sharing of answer structures
Case study preparation sessions
It is also possible to prepare with us for your Professional Postgraduate Diploma Strategic Marketing in Practice case study.
You will attend one preparation day and four weekend days (or as many as you can) after you have received the case study and work in groups on:
- Producing an audit on the case study
- Examining and producing the strategic options
- Implementing the plans to support chosen strategies
- Taking a mock exam
- Working with the tutor individually ensuring that you have followed the correct methodology, examined the correct strategic options and are able to implement and adapt to any changes in the external environment
Case Study timetable - students who have failed their exams at other centresbefore will find our sessions very helpful!
