Take your marketing career to the next level with a globally recognised qualification that could ultimately lead to your Master of Marketing.
Open Colleges (formerly Cengage Education) is able to offer this distance learning course through its partnership with the Australian College of Marketing (ACM), the only accredited national study centre for the UK's Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). It provides vocational training at a level equivalent to the first year of a degree and is ideal for those in marketing support roles who wish to advance their careers. It is also a valuable qualification for individuals such as small or medium business managers whose roles encompass some marketing responsibility.
Giving you the skills to devise and execute tactical marketing activities, the course will help you assess your marketing environment, understand marketing research processes and communicate effectively with stakeholders.
As a blended online and correspondence course, the Professional Certificate in Marketing is self-paced and thus highly suited to those who prefer or need a flexible learning program. Enrol anytime, study when it suits you and progress at your own pace. You will still enjoy the advantages of trainers who are practising marketing professionals, opportunities for networking and the prestige of studying with an organisation whose courses represent the international benchmark for marketing qualifications.
