New digital marketer apprenticeship now available

Whyy? Change has added the coveted digital marketer apprenticeship to its list of available courses to meet the growing demand for digital marketing skills. The course is now available, with places for a July start.

Because we’re an accredited Chartered Institue of Marketing (CIM) study centre, we can also make sure that our apprentices get a recognised CIM qualification in return for their study. This would be the level 4 certificate in professional marketing.

The demand for this apprenticeship course is increasing as more businesses want to brush up on their digital marketing capability and keep up with new technology.

Driving sales with digital marketing

The purpose of the apprenticeship is to help learners use online and social media platforms to effectively design, build and implement campaigns and drive customer sales.

Digital marketers need to design, build and deliver digital campaigns across many online platforms to help businesses achieve new customers and more sales. Digital marketing is also used to keep customers engaged and maximize customer retention.

Digital marketing jobs

People completing the digital marketing apprenticeship can expect to secure roles such as:

• Digital Marketing Assistant
• Digital Marketing Executive
• Digital Marketing Co-ordinator
• Campaign Executive
• Social Media Executive

Getting started

To begin the apprenticeship, a learner will need to have some GCSE passes including maths and English, a level two apprenticeship or another relevant qualification, plus some relevant experience and/or an aptitude test with a focus on functional maths.

Apprentices don’t have to be new staff members and they can be any age – you can train one of your current marketing team using the apprenticeship route. The course can be fully funded through the apprenticeship levy.

CIM approved training

The CIM is the world’s leading professional marketing body. It develops the marketing profession by supporting training and qualifications providers, so we’re very happy to be an accredited CIM study centre.

We deliver the CIM level 3 Foundation Certificate in Marketing and level 4 Certificate in Professional Marketing as an accredited CIM study centre. This supports our Digital Marketer and Marketing Executive apprenticeships.
