CIM marketing courses

Peterborough College of Marketing is the education arm of Marketing Ability.

We are the only Chartered Institute of Marketing Accredited Study Centre in the Peterborough area and all four of the courses listed below are available in Peterborough.

We have also built on our success in Peterborough to now offer the Professional Postgraduate Diploma course in Norwich.

Here’s what local Marketer Nicola Fox says about studying with Marketing Ability:

“I was made redundant last year but this qualification has helped me find work elsewhere. It has also given me the opportunity to merge my practical experience with theory and, by being delivered over a short timeframe, it enabled me to get a qualification fast - without taking years out to study. Mixing work life with studying is hard but with the support of the Marketing Ability team, I managed to balance this well and achieve what I wanted to. I am very interested in developing my studies further and will look no further than Marketing Ability to do this.”

Our courses lead to these CIM marketing awards and qualifications:

"With no marketing qualifications I was worried that I would struggle to keep up, but the tutors spent a lot of time ensuring we understood each topic. I have learnt an incredible amount in a short time and apply my new knowledge every day."
