Important Notice 

It is with heavy hearts that we must advise that MMD Limited, trading as nesma, will be entering liquidation by the end of January 2026, by which time the business will have ceased trading.

We appreciate that this will be disappointing news, and we wanted to provide clarity on the arrangements that have been put in place for all our students.

We have been working hard with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) to ensure that every one of our students can continue their professional qualifications with as little disruption as possible. We have already reached out to every student concerned.

Oxford Professional Education Group will become your training provider for any new study modules/units starting from January 2026 onwards.
