Process

Choice is the key word when considering a CAM qualification.

You have a choice in terms of how and where you study: part-time, intensive or distance learning.

For a typical student we recommend a minimum of 30 hours for the single modules and 60 hours for the double module including tutorials/lectures from one of our accredited providers. In reality this can mean 10-15 evening sessions in a college, or even intensive training over 2-3 days, plus guided and own study, including keeping up to date on developments within the industry through the trade press.

Completing all five modules leads to the CAM Diploma in Marketing Communications. The qualification is only awarded to students that pass all five modules.

Entry points

There are no exemptions available for any modules on this qualification. Students must pass all five modules to be awarded the CAM Diploma in Marketing Communications.

Successful completion of the CAM Diploma in Marketing Communications allows entry onto the CIM Professional Diploma in Marketing.
