I also decided to take some exams for certificates. Everything is ok, I liked the way they presented themselves, the materials, the exams, etc.

There is one thing I don’t like at all. It’s the Forum!

When you consider that ICT is the future in marketing, when you insist in the importance of the Internet in building strategies, it’s very odd to have a forum with only few posts.

Below are some statistics about the usage of the forum that I saw today:

114967 registered users have made 551 posts in 272 topics.
Total people online: 535, Members online: 0, Anonymous members online: 0, Guests online: 535
Users online:

It’s strange to see that there are so few comments on the forum…

Ok, I saw the message: “Please note: We have migrated to a new system and due to data protection, were unable to move all the forum threads. We have migrated the main topics. ”

Where are the old messages? How can I take a look over them? Because in fact now don’t have 272 topics and 551 posts. There are only few…

I was expected that, with this large number of registered users, to have big discussions. I’ve searched over the Internet to find discussion about CIM and about the subjects that refer to exams, assessments and I found nothing.

In rest everything works perfect, materials are very targeted and so on. Just the forum isn’t too “developed”.

Anyone, any idea about where to find forums/discussion about CIM and its certificates?

I passed all the exams and now I’m a proud owner of a Professional Certificate in Marketing. I already enroll for a distance learning center ‘coz I’ve decided to go for Professional Diploma in Marketing, the next step to the final goal that I want to achieve, to be chartered in marketing.
