Every employer needs a marketer…
preferably a qualified one!

So why not pop along to find out about the accredited qualification and short courses we offer in Cumbria.

We work with both individuals and organisations, ensuring they have the right marketing skills to achieve their goals.

Here’s what some of our students who work in Cumbria said when we asked them about the impact that studying has made on them and their workplace.


‘Studying for a CIM qualification has helped me understand and apply recognised marketing tools and frameworks in my day to day role. Working in a specific role means there are many areas of marketing that I don’t undertake very often, so studying has been a great help ‘filling in the skills gaps’. It’s also helped to provide a broader context to many areas of marketing. I’ve certainly benefitted, and I had no hesitation recommending my colleagues start a CIM qualification with nesma.’

‘Completing a CIM qualification catapulted my career in marketing without a doubt. It gave me the confidence to reach that next level and find my dream job. Having a Level 4 qualification in Professional Marketing at the top of my CV meant that I stood out from the crowd of other candidates. It demonstrates much more than just having the knowledge and experience to do the job, and it shows commitment and dedication to personal progression, which ticks the boxes for employers. The senior people in my team take me seriously and trust in my knowledge, giving me the freedom to put my skills to use. I wouldn’t be where I am without it.’

‘A CIM qualification provides marketers with the skillset to think strategically and understand the complete picture of marketing. After studying Journalism and realising it’s not for me, the CIM qualifications I have studied have helped me move from marketing assistant to marketing manager. Of course, It’s vital that you believe in the company and that the company believes in you. The importance of being given a platform to develop and expand your knowledge cannot be overstated. I can honestly say I always looked forward to every session with nesma, and I’ve made friendships with other students and tutors that I hope will last a lifetime. I had such a brilliant personal development experience that has benefited me and the business that I have subsequently sent team members to nesma to enhance their current skillset.’
