- CIM qualification success celebrated at the Titanic Hotel, Belfast
The success of the Chartered Institute of Marketing’s (CIM) students’ high achievements, was celebrated at the Titanic Hotel, Belfast.
The inaugural celebratory lunch sponsored by recruitment consultancy, MCS group and the Titanic Hotel, reflected the successes of CIM students in Ireland who have gained a full CIM qualification since April 2018.

The event recognised professionals and students with the following qualifications: CIM Level 3 Foundation Certificate in Marketing, CIM Level 4 Certificate in Professional Marketing, CIM Level 6 Diploma in Professional Marketing and CIM Level 6 Digital Diploma in Professional Marketing.
Ciaran O’Hara, employed at Fujitsu as a business support administrator, who graduated on the day said: “My CIM qualification helped me to secure my job at Fujitsu. I studied while I was working full time which was challenging but I learned to balance everything and now want to go on to do the diploma. Hopefully this time next year, I’ll be graduating again.”
Susan Wilson from Queen’s University said: “I completed the Digital Diploma in Professional Marketing Level 6 which allowed me to upskill in an area that is essential to the role of marketers now and in the future. It helped me to become more agile and it will be incredibly useful in my current job and throughout my career.”
