On Thursday, 27 January 2022, Lucy and Veronica will be at Carlisle Skills and Careers Fair, held at Carlisle College between 2.30 pm - 6.30 pm.

Veronica and Catherine initially met in 1999 when Catherine was studying for her CIM Marketing Certificate. With their mutual interest in marketing and Leadership and the CIM Marketing Leadership Programme, one of the qualifications available to study at nesma, the pair found they had a lot to discuss when they caught up again.

The CIM Diploma in Sustainable Marketing programme enables learners to explore key aspects of sustainability and identify those which could create long-term value for your organisation and its customers, alongside meeting the requirements for the sustainability of the planet.

Veronica caught up with David Cook about Northumberland 250, a destination and experience business that encourages you to embark on a memorable road trip across Northumberland's vast and varied landscapes, whether that's using your own car, bike or one of their adventure-ready Land Rover Defenders!

This qualification provides a platform for senior marketers to tailor their learning around their own career development needs or their business needs.

Veronica Swindale met with Dr Helen Goworek, Associate Professor in Marketing and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Lead for Durham University Business School for Northern Insight Magazine. It was brilliant timing, too, as CIM has now launched its Sustainable Marketing Module as part of the CIM Diploma in Professional Marketing (L6), which is very exciting.

It was great to attend a CIM graduation ceremony in September and we are looking forward to the next one Saturday 13 September.

What a fantastic set of results achieved by our CIPR students last term. They accomplished a 98% pass rate across six different CIPR qualifications.

Veronica caught up with Dr Sarah Bowman, to discuss why mastering public affairs and deepening internal communication capabilities are becoming increasingly important for communication professionals.

Following hot on the heels of our 100% pass rate we have been awarded six new CIM Commendations for the July 2021 examination round to our collection bringing the total to 77.

We are delighted to announce a record CIM pass rate and top grades for our students once again! Our students are celebrating a 100% pass rate and an 81% merit or distinction.

As well as following their passion, both Amy and Lauren have completed CIM qualifications with nesma, which has helped them devise a strategy and develop clear and precise knowledge of the market.
