Testimonials

Banker
“I regret that I did not take the CIPM USA members only courses years ago. The self-study aspect of the program scared me. I really did not think that I could go it alone – but I set aside time four times a week – read the texts and other materials and before I realized it, I became engrossed in the subjects. I needed the information. I work in a large banking corporation and without academic credentials, I doubt if I would have ever been promoted. But what I learned in the courses, I applied at the bank. It soon became obvious that I knew a lot more than what my superiors thought I did. I was rewarded with a raise and promotion in less than one year.”
Teddy M. (Los Angeles)

Entrepreneurs
“I own my own home inspection franchise company. I did not know how to prepare a market plan or how to manage cash flow or other assets. I learned this in my spare time from the CIPM USA courses. I am glad I did because the company that franchised my business never did get around to providing the kind of marketing guidance I needed. I only finished three courses but hope some time in the future to take another one or two that may help.”
Rosario R. (El Paso)

“I just finished Project Management, the first CIPM USA course. I worked in construction all of my life and thought I knew it but I realize now that without theoretical and technical planning knowledge, it is impossible to maximize profits.”
Barry B. (Chicago)

“Entrepreneurial Finance” is one course every self-employed business person should take, even if they never take another one. I learned how to prepare a business plan and how to sell it to venture capitalists for the funds that I needed. After being turned down over a two year period everywhere I went, I credit this CIPM USA course with giving me the information I needed for successful fund raising.”
Gloria T. (Toronto)

Australian Manufacturer
“I can never thank CIPMUSA enough for all that it did while taking the Integrated Marketing Communications course. I thought I knew something about advertising and promotion but I realize now that what I knew was not any where near enough. Learning how to do research, studying buying habits and measuring advertising results are all things I take for granted now. I plan to take another course later this year.”
Sylvia O. (Sydney)

Other Comments
“I was told in very plain English the courses are “self-study” and I know what that means. But I had a little trouble with some of the language in “Strategic Marketing”…contacted the Registrar at CIPMUSA and she found a professional mentor who I was able to hire to help. Thank you!”
Omair V. (UAE)

“Self-study means you are on your own. But not really! I asked for some help with “Economics of Organizational Management” and got it!”
Roberto (Argentina)

“Take the courses. It took me over a year to finish all of them but CIPM USA approved my work schedule. I studied at my own pace. My job performance increased so noticeably I was promoted!”
