2022 course underway – next intake January 2023
The course’s extensive Study Notes are split into six separate modules which must be read over a 6-month period. The learning model incorporates an assessment system comprising assignments which must be completed to demonstrate that the Study Notes have been read and understood. Students are also required to complete a course project (called the Set Brief) which is a real-life marketing challenge and must be handed in at the end of the course. All work is assessed and marked by a cross-section of industry experts. Each student receives a grade reflecting their level of overall performance. Passing the Diploma enables graduates to use the initials ‘Dip ESA’ after their names in perpetuity.
As well as the Study Notes, the learning experience is supplemented by a series of regular live seminars which consist of insightful presentations made by leading industry experts often covering subjects being studied at the time. Students can also take advantage of a range of networking opportunities to make introductions and swap notes with other students on the course. All of these course elements are accessible via ESA’s course website – www.sponsorship.org.
