Throughout your self-paced and self-directed learning, you will be supported by a dedicated Subject Matter Expert who will be your Online Academic Tutor. The Online Academic Tutor will provide you with the necessary subject guidance; constructive feedback on assessments; facilitate online discussions and monthly live classes; and respond to your queries to help you achieve academic success.

The Student Success Coordinator (SSC) team will support you with any query that you may have about the environment, systems, and general utilisation throughout your learning journey.

The Student Success Coordinator, who is assigned to your course, is trained to build each student up to reach their fullest potential. Students can expect their Student Success Coordinator to answer questions, offer advice and provide further clarification on any non-academic aspects.

Certification and beyond
The course ends. Your new life begins.
But first comes The Test. Yes, it’s an assessment but not as you know it. The Test is punchy, focussed and dynamic. It happens via a screen (of course). Questions come in different formats including text-based multiple choice; image-based multiple choice, matching and hot spot questions. We use the Pearson VUE test centre network which has over 5,200 centres in 180 countries.

You can take The Test anywhere in the world; everybody gets the same experience. It lasts 2 hours, 100 questions, and afterwards (fingers crossed) you are never quite the same. You are a new kind of marketeer, a DMI Certified digital animal ready to thrive in the digital jungle. What’s more, your slick new DMI Certification works as a virtual passport. It looks sharp and is recognised at the door of (just about) all the best opportunities. That’s because it comes with true authority.

The Pearson VUE test voucher is included in your course fee.
