The E-Marketing Professional (EMP) Certificate provides a world-class digital strategy qualification that is geared to help you deal with the business challenges of today. The EMP gives you comprehensive digital skills, methodologies, and strategic know-how. And it empowers you with the inspiration – and the ability – to change your world.
Why get the EMP Certificate?
Whether you are a fast-track career executive or an ambitious entrepreneur, you need to know your digital stuff, and have credible qualifications that help you stay ahead of the game. You must have the ability to craft the strategies that will keep your business competitive. You need to understand how your customers use technology to form opinions and make decisions. And you have to be able to architect your business models, your marketing strategies, and your communication tactics so that your brand becomes your customer’s preferred choice.
Other courses or tutorials merely teach the mechanics of various digital tools. The EMP programme goes well beyond this, focusing on big-picture strategic commercial performance as well. As an EMP graduate you’ll have the board-room skills and stature to set direction, lead digital change initiatives, and apply proven methodologies to achieve maximum competitive success.
Trainers with Stature
At Britefire, we don’t leave you in the hands of junior trainers with no actual digital marketing experience. Your dynamic faculty members have succeeded in corporate and entrepreneurial roles, are currently engaged in major digital strategy projects, and are internationally acknowledged thought leaders in their field. Throughout your training, you’ll be exposed to their wisdom, experience, and inspiration.
A Serious Qualification
The EMP programme gives you a respected certificate that puts you on the short list for any promotion or recruitment. And you get a wealth of leading-edge knowledge, methodologies and skills for brilliant online business success.
EMP certification is awarded worldwide. Anyone certified through this programme will be competent to lead digital business and innovative marketing initiatives anywhere in the world.
