Privacy Policy
Digital Marketing School operates a robust internal quality assurance (IQA) system to ensure that all our training delivery and assessment meets the assessment standards set by the awarding bodies (AO) we work with.
Recognition of Prior Learning Policy
DMS recognises that you may have a broad range of prior knowledge, skills and experience (academic, professional or vocational) to bring to your DMS life. Such previous experience/qualifications may allow you to be exempted from certain elements of study in your DMS programme.
In addition to the recognition of prior informal (experiential and certificated) learning, DMS has also adopted one of the key components of the flexible learning system - the principles of credit transfer, which are also referred to as “recognition of prior credit”. However, previously achieved UK/EU academic credit cannot be transferred to any of the DMS programmes automatically. You should contact DMS to find out whether you meet the entry requirements for the programme of study you wish to transfer to and whether there are spaces available.
Learner Recruitment and admissions policy
We recognise that the foundation of Digital Marketing School is its learners. In order for us to enable our learners to achieve and to facilitate growth within our organisation, strategies that enable us to recruit with integrity must be in place. This policy sets out to define the minimum standards that all applicants to the school can expect when seeking information, advice, guidance and enrolment at the school. To this effect, we recognise that this must be implemented through two closely related, but distinct areas: Recruitment and Admissions.
