The NSMC are proud to launch our first online training modules. We have combined the materials from our classroom courses - delivered to over 5,000 people - with the tools and resources we have developed over the last four years.
Who is the course aimed at?
The course is aimed at people working in a wide range of fields (transport, environment, health, financial services, crime etc.) who are seeking to influence people’s behaviours. The content will be particularly useful for local authorities, third sector, workforce development or HR staff (private and public sector) and public health bodies internationally.
What are the course aims?
The course provides an introduction to social marketing, from basic principles and terminology through to more detailed guidance on how to plan, manage and evaluate your own behaviour change programme.
How is it structured?
The complete course includes seven online modules which you access via your web browsers. These contain videos, animations, scenarios and quizzes with prompts and feedback to reinforce what you have learned. Each module also contains downloadable content such as guides and tools to help you to apply your new knowledge to your work.
Each module should take approximately one hour to complete. At the end of each module there is a multiple choice assessment which will test your understanding and ability to meet the learning outcomes listed at the start of each module. There is also a final assessment which you will need to complete for a certificate to be awarded.
The modules are divided into manageable topics and can be completed at your own pace within three months of starting your first module. These are available in three options:
Each module contains videos, links to the relevant National Occupational Standards and interactive content that will take you through the process of planning a social marketing programme. The presentation below shows a preview of one of the topics from the Introductory module. The full version contains sound, video and animations to accompany the content.
