Loughborough College achieves commendation from leading international marketing and business organization for eighth consecutive year

A leading international marketing and business organization has commended Loughborough College for the eighth year in a row.

The Chartered Institute of Marketing thanked staff, tutors and students for their hard work and commitment and congratulated the College on its success.

The Awarding Body at the CIM commended Loughborough College ‘for the excellent standard of results achieved’ for the Digital Marketing module of the Certificate in Professional Marketing for assessments submitted in the July 2018 assessments session.

It was a double celebration for professional qualifications lecturer Renee Lee Brown, who has taught marketing at the College for ten years - with the course reputation and success now drawing students from as far afield as Peterborough, Grantham and Lichfield.

“The Chartered Institute for Marketing qualifications at Loughborough College have consistently produced fantastic results. This is the eighth year CIM have commended the Professional Qualifications Department on this success and with Renee Lee-Brown having delivered on this qualification over the last ten years, it is no coincidence that the program has done so well,” said Loughborough College curriculum manager for degree level engineering, creative and professional qualifications Dan Apparicio.

“This consistency of support for the students is clearly a key factor in the success over a long period of time. We must also give credit to the students that are attracted to the program. We are fortunate every year to recruit an excellent cohort of students from local industries. This is a credit to the sector and the effort they put in.”

George works full time in an executive role and decided to develop his qualifications by studying as a part-time mature student on the CIM Marketing courses at Loughborough College. “From the time I made contact to enquire about the course's structure, through to handing in my final piece of coursework, it was a positive experience. My tutor was knowledgeable and approachable and able to cut her industry experience into the academic requirements of the CIM. I came out the other end with a better understanding of a new sector and a distinction to freshen up my CV. I'd very much recommend it.”

Bill is a graphic designer working in a marketing department and admits he found the course challenging but “I certainly enjoyed it much more than I could have imagined. And that was very much down to Renee with her years of experience, real life, and often amusing, case studies and incredibly engaging and relaxed teaching style. I wanted to get a thorough overview of marketing which the CIM L3 and Renee's tuition provided perfectly. The distinction mark I achieved wouldn't have been possible without encountering Renee's marketing-sector insight and highly valuable advice. I really got lucky choosing to do the CIM course at Loughborough College and being guided and taught by Renee."
