Course Description

 

Please note - this is the new Level 6 Professional Diploma in Marketing Qualification from the CIM. The previous Level 5 qualification has been replaced by this new syllabus and content. Please read through for more information or contact greg.chen@don.ac.uk if you have any questions.

 

This qualification is for you if you are working in marketing management roles, usually within the marketing function, but it could be that you have other management roles where marketing is only part of what you do.

 

You are provided with a copy of each of the core textbooks, refreshments and catering over the intensive weekend workshops, electronic resource access available 24/7 and tutor support and feedback on request.

 

The qualification provides you with a practical insight into the principles and application of marketing at an operational/management level. The typical profiles of previous learners who have taken this qualification include...

  • Operational Marketers

  • Departmental Managers

  • Functional Managers

  • Product/Brand Managers

  • Account Managers

  • Agency Managers

  • Marketing Executives

  • Business Development Managers

 

Aims and Objectives
 
The New Syllabus Professional Diploma is for you if you are looking to build practical skills in operational marketing management and broaden your strategic perspective in marketing.
 

Course Description

The course consists of four subjects and has a pre-defined assessment methodology set by the CIM:

 

Unit 1: Marketing Planning Process

  • Work based assignment involving the preparation of a marketing plan

 

Unit 2: Delivering Customer Value Through Marketing

  • Three hour unseen examination based on a previously given case study

 

Unit 3: Managing Marketing

  • Work-based assignment

 

Unit 4: Project Management in Marketing

  • Work-based project requiring an in-depth study of a specific and focused area of business activity

 

This is a part-time course delivered over intensive weekend so that you don't have to take much time off work and would be more likely to fit into your existing busy diary.  As you are enrolled by each unit, the length of completing the course is flexible and therefore you could study for the qualification over two years or longer.  On top of the lectures, you are expected to do additional research in preparation for class seminars - the CIM specify that at least 6 hours per week are spent completing self-guided study.  Have a chat with the course tutor (contact details see below) to explore various pathways that would give you a good balance between work, study and other life commitments.
 
Tutors will recommend relevant marketing journals, websites and other resources in addition to core texts.
