Sara's story: Taking a career in marketing to new heights through online education

sara's marketing career story

As a marketing and events executive working full-time, Sara was eager to find a flexible learning solution that would expand her knowledge and future-proof her career. She found the perfect fit with our online home-learning courses and chose to enrol on our Social Media Marketing QLS Level 3 and Public Relations QLS Level 3 course.

Sara already had social media experience under her belt when she joined the course, but public relations was unchartered territory for her. The course, offering modules for both types of marketing, was exactly what she needed to take her marketing career to new heights!

Sara’s studies have not only boosted her academic expertise, but have also positively impacted her soft skills:

‘This course has boosted my skill set and allowed me to grasp further knowledge needed for my role. I am more confident in my day-to-day role after the course, and it has made me realise it is never too late to learn and support your knowledge base.’

Regarding her next steps, Sara shared her excitement about continuing to grow in the world of marketing and social media: 

‘I hope to keep working in this sector now for the foreseeable future. Online learning gives people a new confidence that can help them in job hunting in their new career. I have been given a new confidence to then work further in my current role, but if I had done this course without a job, I would feel ready and set to start applying for roles within the sector now.’

If you’re inspired by Sara’s story and looking to invest in your learning, here’s her key advice:

‘It is really positive. You are not alone as your tutors are there to help you and answer fast. You can study at your leisure; no set dates or deadlines and you really do feel a sense of achievement when you submit an assignment.’
