How Much Does It Cost?
Advanced Learner Loans may be available (subject to meeting criteria) through our City & Guilds centre. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
The only additional fee is the cost of the purchase of a domain name and hosting for your website. This costs from £95 + VAT per year, if purchased through us, but you are welcome to go elsewhere. You will also receive a copy of Mary’s book, “Social Media Made Simple”.
How Long Does It Take?
You can expect to be learning about Digital Marketing for around 15 months and it progresses fairly quickly. Everybody who takes the qualification starts at a different level of knowledge and the time it takes to complete will vary appropriately. We suggest that in order to complete the learning within the time scale, approximately 10 hours a week is needed, but that does depend on your knowledge base of the topics. If you wish to take longer, that is also possible as the qualification is designed to fit around a busy working lifestyle.
When Can I Start?
We run 3 cohorts during the year – January, April and September. Each cohort is a maximum of 10 people so that you can each be given a high level of personal support. Our next cohort starts on 19th April 2021.
