“I applied to Springboard to undertake the Post Graduate Diploma in Digital Marketing Practise for 2 reasons; firstly to study something outside of my comfort zone that would help me to develop a new skillset and secondly to apply the learning within my current field of work. The course was delivered once a week for a full afternoon/evening, a block that was easy work around whilst maintaining my job. The delivery mechanism which included class slides/videos being available on the Moodle portal was invaluable. A key focus on group work throughout the course also provided me with an opportunity to learn hands-on with people that brought different skillsets to the table. . The learning has already benefited my work and I would recommend the process to anyone thinking of enhancing their skills and education”. Liz Riches, 2020
“This programme provided a practical high level deep understanding and knowledge of digital marketing, and equally provided the professional digital marketing skills to operate effectively in the ever changing modern workplace. Lorraine Quirke, 2021
