Take advantage of the best courses to gain extracurricular qualifications to help you get the job you want

Although getting a job has rarely been harder than it is at the moment, we are certainly not short of ways in which to help ourselves stand out from the crowd. One of the ways in which we can achieve this is to gain extracurricular qualifications specifically relating to the industry in which we want to work.

Whether you want to get into marketing, sales, digital or new media, there are courses available from a wide variety of organisations which look fantastic on a CV as they show that job candidates not only have the knowledge to succeed but also the drive and determination to learn on their own and put the maximum amount of effort into ensuring their success. These courses usually require no prior academic knowledge to participate in, but will probably cost a fee to cover learning resources and other small expenses.

The best courses to list on your CV are invariably those run by the best-respected organisations. The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) is the world’s leading organisation dedicated to the marketing industry. Since its foundation in 1911, it has devoted itself to developing and improving industry practices.
