THE MARKETING PARTNERSHIP- PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
Welcome to The Marketing Partnership
Hello and welcome to the Marketing Partnership. We are a company with 30 years marketing experience and the Island’s only Accredited Study Centre for CIM professional qualifications. Please see below for all the services that we offer.
Who We Are
The Marketing Partnership was started approximately 15 years ago in the Isle of Man and in that time has worked in a variety of strategic and tactical marketing projects for a wide range of Organisations in the profit, not for profit and government sectors.
Whilst company director Heather originally initiated the CIM qualifications programmes on behalf of the Isle of Man Business school, the programmes have been running independently via the Marketing Partnership for the last 4 years.

The Courses
There are two professional CIM programmes that we offer here at The Marketing Partnership, the first is the CIM Certificate (Level 4) In Professional Marketing and the other is the CIM Diploma (Level 6) In Professional Marketing. Each qualification can be studied through blended learning over a typical regular 10 week programme. Our qualifications enable you to learn in a way that suits your lifestyle – from bite-size flexible modules to full qualifications.

Starting a job in a big company was a bit intimidating at first, but I love every minute of it. I am getting involved in social media activities, building webpages and going to events shadowing the Marketing Executive. Wednesdays are great, when we have our lesson with Heather, but I wish it could be for longer as I want to learn more, and it’s much more relaxed than school.

It felt like a step back to take two steps forward, But this is a great way to get a wage, a professional qualification and learn. It is a good work life balance.

It has really been good, I like the structure, it is a step into working full time and I want to carry on my CIM qualifications. Employers may see taking an apprentice as a bit of a risk and university might often seem to be the preferred route, but we are all willing to learn and university is a three-year commitment whereas this is just one year and a great experience.

I don’t know what I would have done without the Apprenticeship Scheme, it is a great opportunity for people to better themselves. I have been able to build on my creativity and skills gained from my studies in planning marketing campaigns. A lot of people apply for jobs and aren’t successful because they lack experience. This Scheme gives you work experience, a wage and a new skill, even if you don’t decide to carry on with it afterwards. If anyone is thinking of an Apprenticeship, do it!

I thought Marketing was what I wanted to do and I was aware of CIM but didn’t really know how to go about getting started. Now I know that Marketing is definitely for me. I have travelled to Jersey and met a lot of different people and it’s great to work for a such a large company. It was definitely a worthwhile decision.
