Do I get a worldwide recognised qualification?
YES! The CIM Diploma in Professional Digital Marketing is an Ofqual registered, highly respected professional qualification, recognised the world over. It’s equivalent to an undergraduate degree – but you can study as you work, instead of having to attend university (and at a fraction of the cost!).
How much are the CIM fees – to join CIM & get my work marked?
To study for the CIM Diploma in Professional Digital Marketing, you’ll need to join the Chartered Institute of Marketing (£65) & pay £190 for them to assess and mark your assignments (there are 3 of these so the total is £570).
You have a full 12 months to complete your diploma – but if you need to renew for any reason, it’s £149 + VAT for 6 months or £249 + VAT for 12 months.

If English is not your first language, you will also need to provide evidence of achieving one of the following English Language qualifications within the last two years: IELTS Academic Module with overall score of 6.5 (each component pass mark must be 6.0 or above) or Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English grade B or above. CIM will consider other equivalent alternatives.
You’ll be required to create 3 x written assignments to graduate (all around real-world business plans, reports or strategy, rather than dissertations!).
Not sure if you have enough experience, to embark on a level 6 qualification (equivalent to undergraduate degree)? The diploma includes foundation content, teaching you best practice across all channels, from the ground up. But do bear in mind that it may take you longer to complete your studies.
If you are experienced in digital marketing, then you could graduate in as little as 12 weeks. If you’re brand new or just starting out in digital or marketing in general, looking to graduate within 12 months is more realistic.
On this basis, as long as you have good written English skills, we will honour your application - with the mandatory foundation across all modules ensuring best practice is observed (as many are self-taught in the digital industry).
Once you enrol, you’ll get instant access to all modules so you can study at your own pace & in your own time. 24/7!
