By Ray Murphy our Distance Learning Manager
The Distance learning route that allows everyone to study for their CIM qualifications the Oxford College of Marketing way, wherever you live, whatever your circumstance and however busy your life is!
With our unique on-line Blackboard Student Learning System and our distance learning support team you really can progress through the CIM qualifications at your own pace and around your life!
You will study each level in a flexible manner in a way that suits you, using our on-line system together with the Distance Learning Manager and a wide range of professional marketers who will work with you on your assignments/exam preparation. If you need someone to be there just when you need them or if you need someone to keep you on a very strict timetable to ensure you meet your own personal goals we will be there! We offer a special telephone hotline at certain times of the week and an e-mail query service.
The length of study time naturally depends on a number of factors. It is unlikely that a module can be completed in less than 45 hours study. We recommend that you put aside at least 4 to 6 hours a week for the duration of each module. For a module delivered over 10 weeks, that will involve 40 to 60 hours.
Additional time may well be needed nearer the exams / assignments in order to consolidate your learning.
Combining Home Learning with intensive weekends
You may want to combine distance learning with our intensive weekends if you would like the security of covering the syllabus in a class with a tutor before you start and if you can reach any of our UK weekend centres.

Distance Learning Timetables
There are a number of start dates for home learners across the year so you will never have to wait for long to begin.
Distance Learning for Non-native English speakers
If your first language is not English you will need to have a high standard of written English and the college may require some written evidence that you will be able to complete the work.
Distance Learning Booking and queries
We believe in the importance of developing long-term professional relationships with our students and we do like to discuss the options, courses and costs with you before you start our programmes. We therefore have a selection of open evenings across our centres throughout the year, alternatively we can chat through the options on the phone.
You can book any of these courses online or if you have any queries please contact us.
