"The Butterworth-Heinemann CIM Coursebooks have become an integral part of our blended learning approach to delivering marketing qualifications. They are well aligned to the syllabus laid down by the Professional Institute showing the cross-referencing of chapters to the relevant syllabus areas, which indeed is a critical factor when attempting to study using the continuous assessment mode offered by the CIM. They are concise, easy to read, and well structured. Many of our students have commented upon what an asset these have been to the study programme."

"Here in Dubai, we have delivered CIM courses for the past five years and ten intakes. We have used the Butterworth Heinemann Coursebooks in their various forms since the very beginning and have found them most useful as a source of recommended reading material as well as examination preparation."
