CIM Foundation Certificate in Professional Digital Marketing

The CIM Foundation Certificate in Professional Digital Marketing is aimed at those either in a job that already involves marketing or those who wish to find out about marketing with the intention of starting out on a marketing career.

It is not necessary to have any previous experience or knowledge of marketing and you can choose to study in a way that suits your requirements and availability. We do, however, ask that if English is not your first language, you provide us with evidence that you have achieved – within the past two years – either an IELTS Academic Module with an overall score of 6.5 (each component pass being at 6.0 or above) or the Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English at grade B or above. We are prepared to consider other equivalent alternatives.

The assessment methodology for all modules contained within the CIM Level 3 Foundation Certificate and Extended Foundation Certificate in Professional & Digital Marketing are Onscreen assessments utilising either Multiple Choice Testing or Scenario-driven short and extended answer response tests. All assessments are employer-driven, practitioner-based, relevant, and appropriate for business needs.

Assessment Type
Onscreen Multiple-Choice Test
50 questions
90 Minutes

Frequency
6x On-Demand windows (results issued after each close
of On-Demand window)

All courses are delivered through WebEx/Zoom which allows us to stream HD-quality video of our courses direct to your laptop, desktop or tablet.

This means you can participate from the comfort of your home/office, anywhere. All of our modules are recorded (as long as we have permission from everyone) so students can review the class afterwards. And we can now offer Zoom tutorials for draft feedback of Level 3 and 4 Assessments if students prefer. Learn more about CIM Virtual Classrooms.

Our qualifications and bite-size awards represent a sound investment in your future and your employer may therefore be willing to sponsor you.
