The Diploma in Professional Marketing is best suited to those already working in a marketing role, perhaps in a management, supervisory or operational context.
We find that most Diploma candidates feel ready to move to the next level and are keen to update or refresh their marketing knowledge and skills.
Completing the Diploma assessments will require you to apply all learnings to solve real marketing problems and the output is often a valuable report containing action plans and marketing approaches that you can implement straight away in the workplace.
