Where the qualification took them

Students who studied with us online, in their own words.

I nearly didn't sign up because I work full time and thought there was no way I'd keep up. I did the digital marketing course over nine months, mostly on Sunday mornings, and it never once felt like too much.

Marketing Assistant

The CIM name came up in my interview before I'd even finished. My manager spotted it on my CV and we spent ten minutes on it.

career changer

I moved from posting on our socials to running the whole channel about six months after the social media course. I still second-guess myself sometimes, but I know what I'm doing now.

Common questions

If your question is not answered here, get in touch and we will come back to you with a straight answer.

How does online study work?

Everything is delivered online, so you study from anywhere in the UK. There are no fixed class times to travel to — you work through each module around your existing job and commitments, and your tutor and course materials are available online throughout.

How much time will it take?

Plan for around 6-8 hours of study a week. That is a realistic figure for working through the modules steadily alongside a full-time job. The CIM Specialist Awards are shorter than the full Diploma in Professional Digital Marketing, so they ask for less time overall.

How do I pay, and is there a payment plan?

Enrolment is completed online, and you pay for your course as part of that process. If you have a question about paying for a specific course, contact us before you enrol and we will talk it through with you.

What is your refund policy?

Our refund terms are set out in full in the academy's published Terms & Conditions & Refund Policy. Read that page before you enrol so you know exactly where you stand — it is the document that applies to your enrolment.

Is the qualification recognised by employers?

Yes. It is a CIM-accredited qualification, and we are a CIM Accredited Study Centre — so you are studying for a recognised professional marketing qualification, not an in-house certificate.
