Key Benefits

Earn a global certification from DMI

Monarch Institute has partnered with the Digital Marketing Institute (DMI) to offer the Certified Digital Marketing Professional course.  You’ll get the benefit of international lecturers and subject matter experts, with guidance from a local expert trainer who’ll give you unique perspectives and insight on applying your new knowledge to Australian workplace scenarios.

After you complete the exam, you earn a Certified Digital Marketing Professional (CDMP) designation from DMI. It’s highly valued by digital agencies in Australia, and overseas.

Endorsed by the Australian Marketing Institute

The Australian Marketing Association has endorsed this course as one of the best courses available for marketers today. They recognise that CDMP will help you develop skills to perform your job role better than ever before. And they know it’s perfect for anyone who wants to work in marketing or be a marketer at any level – from entry-level through to executive management positions.

Free access to membership portal

When you enrol with Monarch Institute, you’ll receive 24 weeks access to DMI’s membership portal. You can remain up-to-date with the latest tools, trends, developments and current practices in digital marketing.

Made for a fast-changing industry

The CDMP is up to the minute. It’s designed to address real global skills shortages. Because the course materials are reviewed on a rolling basis, you can be sure you’re learning about the platforms, strategies, techniques and tools you’ll be using in your daily practice as a certified digital marketing professional.

Course Accreditation

This is a non-accredited course for the purposes of the Australian Qualifications Framework. However, it’s a professional certification with a single global certification standard.

The CDMP is the international gold standard for digital marketers who are serious about getting great results for their clients. It’s also one of the best ways to advance your career, within your current organisation or elsewhere. The CDMP is recognised around the world.

Note that you will be required to take (and pass) the exam to be awarded this certification. If you choose to exit with just the statement of completion, you’ll be able to use what you’ve learned in your work – you just won’t be able to use the CDMP designation.

Specialisations

Course Assessments

Once you’re enrolled with Monarch Institute, you’ll be able to register to sit the certification exam online.

The certification exam is multiple choice (120 questions), and the time limit is two hours. Your exam fee is included in the course fee however if you need to resist the exam, there is a fee to do so.

Interested in lots of different disciplines? Want real variety in your career? You’ve come to the right place. From SEO and PPC to social media and analytics, studying digital marketing really lets you flex every part of your mind. The CDMP will help you master the fundamentals of digital marketing. So even if you end up specialising in a particular role, you’ll have the breadth of knowledge you need to work well with the rest of your team.

You’ll be able to take your skills to a variety of different roles. CDMP graduates work in a variety of roles and organisations, from SMEs, start-ups and non-profits to multi-disciplinary marketing teams in large businesses. Whether you’re upskilling, certifying your knowledge or changing careers, the future’s looking good.

I’ve worked in various digital marketing and business development roles for regional airlines, hotels and cruise liners. I managed a hot air balloon business, Global Ballooning Australia which took me around the world as I helped launch the experience to the international market.  I penned what I learned in a self-published book, Adventures of a Balloon Girl.

In 2014 I followed my calling to teach and became a certified trainer and assessor launching my own training and mentoring practice. Since launching I have developed over 30 online and group training programs specialising in digital, social media marketing, and tourism.

What gets me out of bed in the morning?

Igniting excellence in people! I love spending time with my family and using all the digital tools available to help business and careers grow. What really gets me out of bed most mornings though is my 4.30am alarm. I love to start the day with a morning run or strength training to keep me fit and energised.
