01What it is

Aimed at marketing professionals, this qualification focuses on digital marketing techniques and strategies. It provides an understanding of marketing and integrated communications principles, alongside digital marketing channels. Learners will develop the ability to plan and implement digital marketing campaigns.

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
