The exam behind the numbers

What our apprentices are sitting

The CIM Level 3 Award in Content and Channels is an externally assessed Chartered Institute of Marketing exam. Our Multi-Channel Marketer apprentices sit it as part of their programme with us, on top of the apprenticeship itself.

It’s marked by CIM, not by us — so these grades are an independent measure of how well our teaching lands.

How we count

Figures cover every CIM Level 3 Award in Content and Channels exam sat by our apprentices in the 24/25 and 25/26 QAR years. Grades are awarded by CIM. No results are excluded. The distinction rate is distinctions as a share of exams sat, and the average score is the mean mark across the year as reported by CIM.

The 89% figure is the distinction rate for the CIM Level 4 Award in Social Media Marketing. The year-by-year breakdown on this page covers Content and Channels only.
