Wendy Hughes, Marketing and Communications Professional

Sarah Martin-Tyrrell, Marketing Executive

‘The online learning environment is absolutely great I cannot speak more highly of it! It suits my lifestyle perfectly and is great with the live course tutor. I think this is a invaluable learning tool, it’s just like being in a classroom (and on a Saturday morning learning feels much better in your slippers & a cup of tea.’

Rene Power, Business Development Director

‘There are a number of benefits to studying online…the ability and flexibility of studying in your own time, particularity if you have a very demanding job. One of the reasons I chose the course with MMC was because it was accredited by the CIM and also contributed hours towards continued professional development, allowing me to use it to become a chartered marketer. The impact of the course on my day-to-day work has been very significant…I needed to be able to talk more knowledgeably and credibly about digital marketing to my clients and to bring the confidence of my team up a level. I would really recommend the course at MMC Learning to anybody who wants to get a head start in digital marketing.’
