Demand for Specialist Expertise sees the Digital Marketing Institute Launch Four New Courses
As hiring trends shift towards digital specialists, with expertise in specific digital marketing disciplines, the Digital Marketing Institute (DMI) today announced the launch of four specialist Professional Diploma courses. According to a recent digital marketing talent study, 22 percent of marketing decision makers said the need for digital marketing specialists is growing with 35 percent looking to hire both generalists and specialists.*
Just launched this month is the Professional Diplomas in Search Marketing, with Social Media Marketing and Digital Strategy & Planning going live in July. Each comprises 30 hours of lectures, hundreds of learning resources and multiple practical exercises that can be studied anywhere in the world at any time via the Digital Marketing Institute's dedicated online Class Network. As with all Digital Marketing Institute courses the new Professional Diplomas have been developed in conjunction with industry experts who have helped craft, validate and teach a formalized syllabus for each.
According to Ian Dodson, Founder and Director of the Digital Marketing Institute: “The new DMI programmes enable students to deep-dive into each of the specialist areas and follow a very targeted career path. Becoming a master of your craft in the digital marketing sector makes it easier to stand out and quickly propel you to senior positions through rapid growth in your specialist area. The courses are delivered by a panel of expert tutors, who are all working digital marketing professionals themselves and so can bring the very latest digital marketing knowledge to their area of expertise.”
The courses are available to study flexibly online via desktop, tablet or mobile with lectures delivered by video and fully downloadable documents and supporting resources available for students to access at a time and pace that suits them.
