REAL Chartered Marketers acknowledged

Sandra Gordon. After a long and sometimes painful process the Chartered Marketer SA qualification has come of age. At a function in Johannesburg on Wednesday, 18 February 2009, Ivor Blumenthal CE of the Services SETA congratulated all those who had worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that the standards and momentum of the CM SA qualification remain intact.

He singled out the interim council, chaired by Dr Ivan May and spoke highly of James McLuckie who has extensive knowledge of the marketing sector and who has worked been working behind the scenes with Sam Isaacs of SAQA (South African Qualification Authority) to make the CMSA a reality. Of the 250 Chartered Marketers who held certificates issued over the years, 100 have kept their CM SA status via Continuing Professional Development (CPD) initiatives organised by the council.

These 100 individuals represent the academic cream of SA's marketers and were presented with dated certificates. An important element for CM's is that of keeping up with the CPD point process which is assessed and recertified annually. Blumenthal is confident that the number of CM's will more than double over the next 12 months.
