It is highly prized in the corporate world and I have already started searching for suitable work. I was pleasantly surprised when I was named the 65,000th student and am touched by all the attention."

"This is a symbolic milestone for The Chartered Institute of Marketing." remarked Christine "Ever since we first started training and offering qualifications, the profession of marketing has evolved significantly. There is now more awareness with regards to the role the marketer plays in the business game. Today I feel justly proud of all the hard work performed by everyone who has ever worked with us since we first started out nearly a 100 years ago."
