2023 course underway
The ESA Diploma’s extensive Study Notes are split into six separate modules which must be read over a 6-month period. The learning model incorporates a revised and simplified assessment system comprising assignments which must be completed to demonstrate an understanding and empathy with the Notes. Students are also required to complete a course project (called the Set Brief) – a real-life marketing challenge which is 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 digital seminars which consist of insightful presentations made by leading industry experts, as well as a number of opportunities to engage in valuable networking with classmates.
Achieving the prestigious Diploma now enables all successful students to join the newly-formed ESA Diploma Alumni Society, which is set to become the industry’s largest and most influential networking group with already +200 members.
The course is available via a special Diploma section on ESA’s website (www.sponsorship.org) and is accessible from 20 January 2023.
