What is a Diploma in Digital Marketing?  If you are thinking of training in the area of digital marketing, then you might like to consider a Diploma in Digital Marketing.

Digital Marketing Institute has been delivering a Diploma in Digital Marketing since early 2009.  You can take this Diploma in Digital Marketing in either of the following formats:

• Part Time evenings over 12 weeks, or
• Full Time for 1 week.

Course modules include digital marketing strategy, SEO, Online Advertising, Mobile Web, Social Media, Online PR and many more.  Trainers include Ian Dodson, Web Kitchen; Krishna De, BizGrowthNews; Don Farrell, Circulator; Shenda Loughnane, ICAN and Gareth Dunlop Ion Online Marketing.

In designing this accredited Diploma, we have identified the core skills required for effective digital marketing, identified the best trainers - who are all industry practitioners – and draw on our considerable experience in course delivery.

We are often asked are we FETAC accredited.  I am afraid that the answer is always the same - there is NO Diploma in Digital Marketing that is accredited by FETAC.

Let me explain: in order for a specific course to be accredited by FETAC, they MUST (a) have all of their lecturers registered on the National Register of Trainers, and (b) the COURSE must map onto one of the existing FETAC approved courses.  There are NO digital marketing courses FETAC accredited.  So there cannot be a Diploma in Digital Marketing FETAC accredited course.

So, how come some of the Diploma in Digital Marketing courses that you will see listed claim to be FETAC accredited?  They are not!  What that training company is doing is saying that the course is accredited by virtue of the fact that the company is accredited to deliver a DIFFERENT FETAC accredited course.  For example, the Digital Marketing Institute could apply to FETAC for accreditation for, say, a Microsoft Excel course - there we could proudly announce that we are FETAC accredited.

But perhaps this would be a bit disingenuous, don't you think?
