To start your studies, you will need to enrol with one of our Accredited Study Centres at cim.co.uk/study-centres. You will need to decide how you wish to study; face-to-face, online learning or blended (a combination of online and face-to-face tuition). Once you have enrolled, you can then join us (cim.co.uk/join) as a studying member and have a wealth of study resources at your fingertips.

The duration of your studies will depend on your chosen study method and the study timetable of the centre. Please discuss your expectations and requirements with our Accredited Study Centres to ensure that you can study in the most appropriate way for you.

You will need to contact one of our Accredited Study Centres to have your entry level assessed. They will consider your previous qualifications and experience to determine which level is right for you.

We would recommend that you only study one module at a time. However, on completion you can progress onto studying a further modular Award of the same level, eventually building up to achieve a Professional Marketing Qualification.

The assessments can vary per modular Award. Dependent on the Award you choose, you may be assessed via an exam or assignment. This will be confirmed by your chosen Accredited Study Centre.

If you studied at one of our CIM Accredited Degree Universities you will have gained exemptions from our CIM qualifications, this means you will only need to complete one module instead of the usual three for the Certificate in Professional Marketing/Digital Marketing and two instead of three to achieve the Diploma in Professional Marketing/Digital Marketing.
