A seven month 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. Having completed its fifth intake, the ESA Diploma is now widely regarded as a mandatory qualification for those wishing to pursue a career in any area of sponsorship or sports marketing.

The seven-month web-based distance learning course (mid-January to mid-August) is designed for anyone looking to advance their career in this sector and 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.
