01What it is

The Level 6 Award in Digital Strategy enables learners to evaluate digital strategies and understand the impact of digital technologies. Successful candidates will be able to develop a digital strategy. It is aimed at marketing professionals.

These are the units Chartered Institute of Marketing registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.

Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with Chartered Institute of Marketing. It does the teaching and the mapping. Chartered Institute of Marketing sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

05The credits

The credits, and who awards them

Level 6 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by Chartered Institute of Marketing rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.

What you would be collecting

Digital Strategy

Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.

This is your Mind Palace on learn.zavmo.ai. Every skill above comes from this role's own record, not an example borrowed from another job. A node lights up when you evidence it, and what you build stays yours between jobs. That is the part a course cannot do.

This qualification is no longer awarded.

Ofqual lists it as no longer awarded, so it cannot be started today. The last day to be awarded it was 9 April 2021. It is here because people still hold it.

These are open to new learners in the same subject.
