Thanks for your interest in our CIM Accredited Level 6 Diplomas. In order to support you in making the right decision, we have compiled a list of some of the most frequently asked questions regarding this qualification. We hope you find them of use when evaluating which courses to study. Feel free to call Terrie, our CIM Coordinator, on 02920 005778 if you have any further questions.
How many modules do I need to take?
Each of the three Level 6 qualifications we offer require you to do three modules. They can be found by going to the following pages: CIM Diploma in Professional Marketing, CIM Diploma in Professional Digital Marketing and the CIM Diploma in Sustainable Marketing
Do you deliver courses online?
Currently, all of our courses are delivered ‘live’ through the Zoom or WebEx platform. We have also delivered in-house courses through to clients. Should you miss any sessions, or like most students want a refresher, don’t worry as all courses are recorded.
Do you offer payment plans?
For students paying themselves we are able to offer this facility (and in some circumstances for companies). See the Payment Plan page for more information.
How long does it take to study?
Each module takes three days to complete, though we currently deliver them as six 2.5 hour sessions over Zoom. In addition to this students will also be expected to attend 3 tutorial sessions for the assessment. Students are expected to put in the required self-study and assessment prep time in order to submit their assessments. The Total Qualification Time for each module is 170 hours.
What support do we offer?
Once the course has been completed you’ll be able to contact your tutor with any questions regarding the course. For each stage of your assessment you will receive feedback from your tutor for each of the tasks. You are able to email /phone your tutor with any queries and, where agreed, you can arrange Zoom/Teams calls.
How much experience do tutors have?
Your tutors on this qualification are experienced university lecturers with experience of delivering CIM courses and have many years of professional marketing experience between them.
How practical are the courses?
Do exemptions exist?
Yes, they certainly do. If your degree is recognised by CIM, you can get an exemption from the Marketing and Digital Strategy module which means you need complete JUST 2 modules. Please speak to our CIM coordinator about this.
Is the qualification well recognised?
All of the CIM qualification are recognised worldwide and very often they are a pre-requisite for getting a job or even career advancement within an organisation.
Do you accept applications from ReAct?
Yes we do. We accept ReAct applications for both our CIM and 1-day courses. Find out more on the ReAct Funding page.

What is the pass rate?
Marketing Tom Media has a pass rate of over 98% for the last 6 years. In the rare event that you fail we will still offer support for Free, though you will need to pay your own resit fees.
Do you have to study all modules?
No, you don’t. The great thing with each of the CIM qualifications we run is that each of them act as standolone awards which, taken together, make up a Certificate or Diploma.
Is there a FREE course included?
Yes, that’s right. For anyone who signs up for this course we offer a FREE complimentary Google Analytics course. Once you have booked the Certificate in Professional Digital Marketing course you can attend the 1-day course.
What happens if I fail?
We rarely have people fail but if they do they have the option of resubmitting the same paper (making modifications) as long as they achieved 45-49. Otherwise, they must submit a new “theme” for the next assessment board.

Just a few of our Google reviews from CIM students…
My experience with Marketing Tom Media has been great from start to finish. Alun and his team have been brilliant with communication and were always there to help with any questions about exams papers etc.
I started studying my CIM level 4 so that I could enhance my marketing knowledge and bring these skills to my current role, and I can safely say it has done this. The tutors are very knowledgeable and have hands-on experience in the marketing industry so really are the best to learn from.
The course itself covered not only marketing theory but a range of real business examples that helped me to better understand how marketing principles are applied in practice. I continue to use what I learnt throughout the course on an almost daily basis in my job. 100% recommend Marketing Tom!
