Take a look at our list of 6 benefits of a CIM or CIPR course below, not only for when you're studying but also for when your course is complete.

1. CIM and CIPR courses are recognised worldwide

You never know where your career may take you so it's very important that you can take your professional qualification with you. By studying the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) or Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) courses, your qualification(s) will be recognised by employers around the globe.

2. CIM and CIPR courses fit around full-time work

Working full-time and studying a professional qualification is a commitment but with the flexibility to study when and how you want, it’s much simpler to enhance your professional career, knowing you can fit it around you. Choose to study via our range of evening and weekend classes or start when you choose and learn online through Online Learning. Although we will recommend submission periods to you, as long as you are covered by College support, you can pick and choose when you wish to submit. There are a range of payment options available too, so you choose how you fund your course as well.

3. Immediately apply new skills to your workplace

Through work-based assignments, you can immediately start applying the theory you learn to your role. If you are unable to base your assignments on your organisation, you can either use that of a friend or family or volunteer for an organisation in exchange for using marketing activity as an example in your work. There are many options available to you.

4. Immediately apply new models to your workplace

Take special care when being referred to models / theorists in our study materials as you never know how they will shape your assignments throughout the course and also your marketing strategy after you have been introduced to them. Keep a note of these, how they work and shape your marketing strategy accordingly. 

5. CIM and CIPR courses offer a variety of levels
