UK's First Internet Retailing Diploma Launched
The first postgraduate qualification developed in the UK specifically for ecommerce professionals, has been launched today by internet research and training specialist, Econsultancy.
The Postgraduate
Internet Retailing Diploma has been designed in partnership
with Manchester Metropolitan University and Ian Jindal,
editor-in-chief of Internet Retailing Magazine,, to provide a
unique combination of cutting-edge training delivered by industry
practitioners, together with exceptionally high academic
standards.
The two year syllabus, which is aimed both at individuals already
involved in ecommerce plus those from a more traditional retail
background, guides delegates through all aspects of internet
retailing, from marketing, buying and merchandising, through to
logistics, engineering and technology. In addition to training by
leading ecommerce practitioners, the diploma is also closely linked
to industry through the Leadership Council.
The course has been designed to allow delegates to fit it in
around work with applications being accepted now for September 2009
entry.
Explaining why he became involved in developing the course, Ian
Jindal, editor-in-chief of Internet Retailing Magazine said: "There
was a very clear need for a professional qualification to help
develop the next generation of ecommerce experts who will need to
be knowledgeable, commercially minded and experienced. We've
focused on helping deliver competitive advantage to the delegates
by making the course directly relevant to industry."
Craig Hanna, Training Director at Econsultancy said, "This
diploma, along with all of Econsultany's public training courses,
has been designed to adhere to the highest possible academic
standards. For this reason it will be hugely beneficial to the
individual in addition to having credibility and meaning for any
employer."
