Transition Arrangements for the Professional Diploma in Marketing effective from June 2009

The new Professional Diploma in Marketing will still have the same course title and previously and will remain a level 6 NQF qualification. The course will still continue to have four modules, but these modules have changed their syllabus and titles.

• The (old) Marketing Planning has become Marketing Planning Process
• The (old) Marketing Comunications has become Delivering Customer Value through Marketing
• The (old) Marekting Research and Informatiom has become Project Management for Marketing
• The (old) Marketing Management in Practice has become Managing Marketing

Each of the above is worth 15 credits

Yes they do. By way of explanation, if students have started the Professional Diploma in Marketing on the old syllabus but not completed all four modules on this syllabus, they should follow the ‘Mix and Match’ rules that enable modules to be substituted for each other - as referred to above.

Which qualification students will be awarded depends on how many credits they have gained from each syllabus. Students will be awarded the qualification where they have gained the majority of their credits. If students have two units (30 credits) from each syllabus, the award will be determined by the final unit (for the old syllabus this would be Marketing Management in Practice, and for the new syllabus, this would be Project Management for Marketing). If students have both these units, they will be awarded the Professional Diploma in Marketing (2009 syllabus, i.e. the new course).
