Marketing provides interesting and varied career opportunities with roles that can be very creative or highly analytical, depending on where your interest lies. This ABE qualification in marketing allows you the advantage to obtain a specialization combined with a high level of knowledge of general business management. With knowledge in a wide-ranging strategic understanding of business management coupled with expertise of Marketing, provides holders with a special skill set. It also provides you with a wider range of career options than a pure Marketing qualification.

The accelerated learning model allows students to complete their qualifications in the shortest possible time. This has become a popular of many undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. CTS College will be delivering the ABE RQF programme using the accelerated model of 3 semesters per year, with each semester running for a duration of 3 months. This allows students to finish a level in as little as 6 months (2 semesters). For students who wish to progress at a slower pace, the semester system allows students the flexibility to study just one unit at a time and finish a level over 18 months.
The ABE semester system works as follows:
Semester | Period |
---|---|
Semester A |
January to March |
Semester B |
March to June |
Semester C |
September to December |
In Semester A tuition is offered for assignment units. While in Semester B tuition is offered for examination units. In Semester C tuition is offered for both assignments and examinations. This structure allows a student to start in any semester (A, B or C) and complete the programme in the next semester, thereby completing the programme in just 2 semesters.
Each unit is assessed via an assignment only or an examination only. Assignments may be submitted in any of the three semesters (A, B or C) however examinations are only held at the end of Semesters B and C (June and December).
CTS College will be providing tuition for each unit however tuition for the Assignment only units will be done in Semesters A and C and tuition for the Examination only units will be done in Semesters B and C.
