We don’t do tick-box training. We build marketers who can actually market.
Apprenticeships that combine real-world experience with CIM qualifications — because doing the bare minimum isn’t good enough.
Why We Started The Marketing Trainer
We started The Marketing Trainer because we were sick of seeing apprenticeship providers doing the bare minimum. The box-ticking. The buzzwords. The “we care deeply about X” speeches from people who really just cared about profits and exit strategies.
We wanted to do it properly — to actually train people and help businesses grow.
How We’re Different
Unlike most providers, we don’t stop at meeting the standard. Every apprentice we train completes a full Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) qualification alongside their apprenticeship — at no extra cost to them or their employer.
Why? Because if someone’s going to represent a brand, they should understand marketing at a professional level.
The result?
- 98% Distinction rate across our CIM Foundation Certificates
- Apprentices who can actually do the job — not just tick off learning outcomes
The Mission
We believe apprenticeships should be seen as the nationally recognised alternative to university — not the “cheaper route.”
Our programmes give learners practical experience, professional accreditation, and a real paycheque. It’s education that actually leads somewhere.
Our values
Equality, diversity and inclusivity
We are committed to fostering inclusivity by removing obstacles that hinder individuals from achieving an education and starting meaningful careers.
Your success is our success
If our learners succeed our employers succeed and that comes full circle.
Innovate, innovate, innovate
We’re continuously adapting and innovating how we do things with our learners and employers in mind.
Our approach
Marketing Specialists
We only offer marketing-related apprenticeships or those that closely connect with marketing. You NEVER see us offering accountancy, IT, and Software courses.
Provide Progression
Our aim is to form long-term relationships with our clients and learners and offer realistic and flexible professional journeys from level 3 to 6.
Feedback Focused
We care about what you have to say. We’re building a Training Provider that listens to the feedback from its team, employers, and learners.
Quality > Growth
We’re looking to grow the right way without jeopardising quality. Quality in all areas of our business will take president over quick growth. Slow and steady.
