Start your marketing career with an apprenticeship
Not sure what to do next? A marketing apprenticeship lets you earn, learn and gain a CIM qualification — no matter where you're starting from.
Whatever stage you're at, there's a route in. Pick the one that sounds most like you.
Frequently asked questions
No marketing experience and no degree — we train you. You need to be 16 or over and living in England, and our employers ask for GCSEs at grade 4 (C) or above, or Functional Skills level 2, in English and maths, because marketing leans heavily on writing and data. If you're missing one of those, ask us anyway: there is often a route through.
Yes. An apprenticeship is a real job with a contract, a salary and holiday, and you spend most of your week working in the marketing team. We only work with employers who pay realistic wages — most of our roles pay between £16,000 and £22,000 a year, well above the apprentice minimum wage.
Nothing. The training is paid for by the government and your employer. You will never be asked to pay for tuition, exams or materials, and the CIM qualification is included at no cost to you.
Around 15 months for the Multi-Channel Marketer programme: twelve months of training, then an end-point assessment that takes six to twelve weeks. Market Research Executive runs 15 to 18 months. See the Multi-Channel Marketer programme and the Market Research Executive programme for what each one covers.
The apprenticeship itself, and on the Multi-channel marketer (level 3) programme a full CIM Level 3 Foundation Certificate in Marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketing — a professional qualification most apprentices never get. See how our apprentices have done in the CIM exams.
Your training is delivered remotely by our team of marketing specialists, in working hours, so you never study in your own time. You also have a dedicated coach from your first week to your final assessment. The rest of the week you are doing real marketing work for your employer.
