What our students say

I loved studying for my Marketing qualification with Cambridge Marketing College - I was able to fit study around my other commitments, (as a distance learner), and I benefited from having a very experienced, helpful and knowledgeable tutor assigned to me. My tutor was contactable via email at any time, and always responded quickly to my (many!) queries. I found the resources, (podcasts, study guides and books) to be of very high quality, being extremely well put-together and written. The staff at the college are always incredibly friendly and ready to help. I would recommend the course highly to anyone wanting to gain marketing skills or update their existing skills.

Giovanna Pierce Technical Officer, BT

I PASSED!!!! So so chuffed, I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for answering every call and message without delay in the final weeks and days. Plus thank you for your feedback on my draft. This has been a new experience for me and I have learnt so much and I know without your input I wouldn’t have been able to achieve it.
