Testimonials

Marketing training that delivers results

'Thank you for your help and feedback regarding the Delivering Customer Value through Marketing course - I did much better than I was expecting in the exam so am mightily relieved. I think the support and feedback through the mock exam made the real difference.'
Product Manager.

Over the years Oxford College of Marketing has helped hundreds of marketing professionals and those looking to move into marketing jobs achieve the results they want.

Rosie made an exceptional effort with me and we formed a great teacher - student relationship. Although I was a long distance student Rosie took the time to meet me, call me for updates, she even called me after my exam results to congratulate me and I am sure that she has many students under her wing!

The Oxford College of Marketing has a fantastic teacher and student support system, and any college that can assist me in achieving an A grade deserves a strong recommendation!

I came to study with Oxford College of Marketing as I needed to complete my final module of the CIM Professional Diploma, having completed the other modules via full time study at another centre. I was nervous going from a full time student to a distance learning student and although it was certainly challenging Oxford College of Marketing provided me with excellent support, professional and timely, all the way through the process from the initial phone call to submission of the final assignment paper.

I would recommend Oxford College of Marketing as the ideal marketing training partner.

Farooq Shah, Distance Learning Student

"From my personal experience Oxford College of marketing has been the epitome of a world class global distance learning institution. They have truly bridged the gap between face 2 face and distance learning. They have a superb and professional support team and fantastic customer service. I never felt alone in my studies. One of the things that also impressed me is their constant innovation and adaption of new technology to enrich the distance learning experience. I would truly recommend Oxford College of marketing to any marketing student wanting to study through the distance learning route."

Shaveen, Distance Learning Student, 2008/2009

'My experiences with the Oxford College of Marketing have always been very positive and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Both yourself and the college are living what you are teaching and it's great to see as a marketer.'

'It is a useful set up, especially for DL students. The information on our online e-learning system is comprehensive and the teaching staff are helpful and knowledgeable.’

A Robinson, DL Professional Diploma student, 2008/2009

'Other members of my team have taken a CIM Diploma also with different colleges, and I would definitely say comparing feedback with them, Oxford College would come out the best in terms of support and the flexible structure of the course.'

R. Bell, St. Giles, DL Diploma student

'I have recommended friends and colleagues on a couple of occasions and have told them that the college has been exceptional with both the preliminary information regarding registration and the courses in general, but also the level of service and interaction from the assignment tutor.

At no point have I been disappointed with the service provided by the college.'

R Carvalho, DL Diploma student

'I am very grateful to the team at the Oxford College of Marketing for taking a chance and accepting me for the PG Dip course as a distance learner. The other two Colleges on my shortlist refused to help regarding my 49 years of age and lack of other CIM course qualifications as not being the best foundation for tackling the course despite my 5 years in a marketing environment and a keen motivation.
Achieving the PG Dip in 18 months was certainly hard work and required more than the estimated 12 hours a week study.

The College team pushed me hard, harder than I would have tackled the course had I been on my own, but it has all been worth it. The course materials provided by the College are extensive and help get you started along the right path of further investigation. The homework responses were extremely helpful in tidying up thinking and giving pointers for developing understanding.

If you are thinking about doing the PG Dip I do not think you will find a more supportive College. Make sure you do as much of the homework as possible it is key to early success!!'
