Are you a Graduate?
CIM syllabus changes - This may impact on you!
A new Professional Diploma in Marketing will be introduced in September 2009 and open to students with a business degree with one third marketing content. This means that if you are a non business degree graduate with little or no marketing understanding you will be asked by most colleges to do the new Professional Certificate in Marketing which is being launched this coming academic year. Some colleges may already be suggesting to non business studies graduates that they do the Professional Certificate this coming September.
Please note that Oxford College of Marketing will still be offering the Professional Diploma to its non business studies graduate students in 2008 - BUT in 2009 we will offer graduates who feel they know enough about marketing, but do not have any marketing in their degree, the chance to take a cramming session to be able to pass the CIM Level 6 test (Professional Diploma) should they wish to enter at a higher level.
We will also be able to offer access to our on line learning system so that non business degree graduates will be able to self study and read what they want from the Professional Certificate Syllabus and catch up on what they feel they may not know enough about. But for some people from September 2009 it will be better for them to take a more thorough approach, start at a lower level and do the CIM assessments which they may be more able to pass as the basic learning will be covered here.
You will be able to see if you are ready to enter on to the NEW Professional Diploma in September 2009 as there will be a test to see if you know enough about marketing to enter at this level. Otherwise you will have to complete the Professional Certificate in Marketing in order to gain entry to the Diploma and Chartered Post Graduate in Marketing qualifications.
Oxford College of Marketing will be offering the new Introductory Certificate as a Distance learning course and the new Certificate in Marketing will be offered as a part time evening course in Oxford and Brighton and as an Intensive Weekend and Distance learning course from September 2008.
We will be happy to advise you about your level entry after we know a little more about you.
