Distance learning revision programme (Professional Diploma)

This is a complete email-based revision course with phone support. It is ideal for Professional Dip students who are unable to attend the pre-exam revision Workshops held in London but require some expert Tutor-led support in the run-up to exams. This programme lets you focus on the practical application of syllabus content. It also allows you to:

  • study at times and locations that suit you
  • be ‘nicely-nagged’ - your Tutor will be keeping track of where you are in your schedule
  • email your Tutor for more work if you are ahead of schedule
  • get a mock exam paper marked by an SSG Tutor (who is also a CIM Examiner)

Programme structure

  1. The course consists of 10 modules. It is designed to be completed over 5-10 weeks with each module requiring 3-5 hours of study. Students with more time may complete it sooner. Each module includes:
    1. directed reading – the relevant pages/chapters from the CIM core texts
    2. exercises/tasks designed to bring textbook theory to life. If you wish your exercises to be marked by a SSG Tutor, we would be delighted. However this is not included in the course fees and will be charged at the normal tutorial rate. Please call us for details.
    3. list of recent CIM exam questions relevant to each syllabus topic
    4. Examiner’s hints and tip
    5. weekly teleconference to review progress
  2. The course kicks off with an online Diagnostic quiz helps you see your current subject knowledge strengths and weaknesses and identify where further revision is needed.
  3. Your SSG Tutor will agree a revision schedule with you when you sign up and will then send you the first module by email. He or she will then contact you before emailing the 2nd module – and so on.
  4. The course finishes with a mock exam. This will be marked by your SSG Tutor and includes detailed feedback on your performance, the additional information required to achieve an A grade pass and recommended next steps.

Please note our Distance Learning Programme is a revision course. We are assuming some College course completion. Revision exercises focus on the CIM’s core text books, which cover most, but not all of, the knowledge that the CIM Examiners are seeking to test.
