2018 enrolment now open

A part-time web-based training course to further your career in sponsorship

The ESA Diploma is the first-ever academic qualification designed specifically for the needs of the sponsorship industry, and, six years in, is now widely regarded as a mandatory qualification for those wishing to boost their career in any area of sponsorship or sports marketing.

The part-time web-based distance learning course, held mid-January through August, is aimed at all levels, including those with no experience or just starting out.

The diploma course has been developed by ESA with contributions from a broad cross-section of industry experts. Our aim is to provide a 360-degree view of the industry within the marketing landscape without bias towards the sponsor, the rights holder or the agency.

The ESA Diploma is essentially about the industry training itself, raising standards and providing a qualification which prepares candidates for a long and successful career in marketing, with an emphasis on the sponsorship sector.
