Covers the core of modern marketing: the fundamentals and the marketing mix, customer service, advertising and integrated marketing communications, applying marketing in practice, digital marketing, and the basics of entrepreneurship. A well-rounded foundation for anyone starting out in marketing or running their own business.
How the programme works
The Certificate of Knowledge in Marketing is made up of 6 subjects. You apply for a minimum of 2, and can add more at any time — including subjects from our other programmes.

Each subject is broken into a sequence of self-paced lesson topics. Work through them in order — you mark a topic complete before the next one unlocks, so nothing is skipped.
No sit-down exams
There are no invigilated exams on this platform. Once you've completed a subject's lessons, you answer a set of multiple-choice questions online. Pass, and your Certificate of Knowledge for that subject is generated automatically — instantly, with no manual processing.
If you'd like a formally invigilated exam and a recognised professional qualification, you can register separately with a professional body such as ZICA, ZIM, or the Zambia Institute of Purchasing and Supply — see how it works. For ZIM exams and lessons specifically, visit zimassociates.captain37.com.
Certificates
Every subject you pass earns its own Certificate of Knowledge, complete with a unique code anyone can use to verify it on this site. Passed several subjects — from this programme or others? You can request a consolidated certificate combining them into one document, for a small additional fee.
