      I’ve put a number of people through CIM qualifications during my career, having done so myself 20 years ago, […] I know from my own experience and from what I’ve gleamed from others, just how valuable the learning experience is. Importantly, CIM qualifications give hands-on, practical areas of expertise which you can deploy immediately in your daily role. This adds even more value to your work and the impact marketing has in your organisation.
