Level 3 Digital Marketer (Standard Pathway)
Become a digital marketing expert
Digital marketing apprenticeship standard
(standard pathway)
The standard pathway is a balance between the social media and SEO pathways, which provides an insight into digital marketing as a whole with a blended focus. Each pathway has a standard set of masterclasses and workshops that encapsulates digital marketing, ensuring you receive the ultimate digital marketing programme, whichever you choose.
This level 3 apprenticeship training programme is available in three different pathways: Standard, Social Media and SEO. All have their own focus and will help you develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to define, design, build and implement campaigns across a variety of online, digital and social media platforms.
You’ll usually be part of a team and report into a marketing or IT manager, working to briefs and instructions which are focussed on driving customer acquisition, as well as engaging with and retaining existing customers. Over time, you’ll take on increased responsibilities and may begin to lead on certain aspects of plans or campaigns during this programme.
It is suitable for those at the beginning of their digital marketing career, be that new to work entirely or looking to reskill into one of the fastest growing trades in the world.
Your job title may be Digital Marketing Assistant, Digital Marketing Executive, Digital Marketing Coordinator, Campaign Executive, Social Media Executive, Content Coordinator, Email Marketing Assistant, SEO Executive, Analytics Executive, Digital Marketing Technologist, or something similar.
On completion of this programme, you will have achieved accredited qualifications and will be able to apply for a place on the independent Register of IT Technicians and joining the Chartered Institute for Marketing (CIM) as an Affiliate (Professional) member.
