In a world where the internet is key there has never been a better time to choose this as your career. The power of the written word is immense in this 21st century and good communicators and marketers are thin on the ground. If you have a way with words, if you can crawl under the skin of a brand, adapt it as your own and then persuade customers to buy it from you, you should consider the apprenticeship with Universal Training UK. Not only will it train you in using words to sell a product, it will also give you the skills you need to sell face to face, communicate with the public and gather information from a variety of sources. So whether you’re a Del Boy on a Market Stall or an aspiring Company Mogul, this is the apprenticeship for you.

Career Opportunities

Just a few of the exciting career paths on offer are:

Event management assistant Market research interviewer Marketing assistant Marketing manager Advertising account executive Media researcher Public relations officer

What’s more, increasing numbers of organisations are employing specialists in order to understand just how the new evolving forms of media are affecting their business, making an apprenticeship in Marketing and Communications increasingly sought after.

Qualifications

Apprentices should possess an enquiring mind and a keen interest in the changing face of media together with an adaptable character and a good head for collecting and analysing information.

There are two types of apprenticeship available

• Certificate in Marketing and Communications (Level 2)
• Diploma in Marketing and Communications (Level 3)

Both levels include a number of mandatory modules covering core subjects such as numeracy, literacy and communications skills. In addition to these important core modules, learners can select a number of additional modules in order to tailor their chosen apprenticeship to suit their career path. These optional modules include: planning marketing strategies, identifying and assessing marketing opportunities, the designing of market research and analysis of the data, and how to develop advertising, direct marketing and online communications campaigns.

It can take anything up to 2 years to become fully qualified. On completion, the newly graduated professionals will be the proud owners of a QCF qualification in Marketing and Communications, and a long and rewarding career.
