Enrolment questions
Price, payment, start dates and what happens next. For questions about the course itself, see the CADME course FAQ.
Is GST included in the CADME price?
No. CADME is $4,789 + GST, which comes to $5,507.35 including GST, and that price is locked in for 2026 and 2027. It covers the 11 modules, unlimited one-to-one mentoring, coaching, the online exam, your certificate, a real internship and post-graduation support.
Can my employer pay for CADME?
Yes. Instead of paying online, we can invoice your employer directly. Send the organisation’s name and billing email and the intake you want to godigital@id.ac.nz, or book a free call. Eligible New Zealand businesses can also get up to 50% of the cost through the Management Capability Development Fund (MCDF).
Which intake will I start in?
You choose. CADME starts on the first Monday of January, March, May, July, September and November, and enrolments for each intake close on the Wednesday before. The upcoming dates are listed on this page, and we confirm your start date by email after you enrol.
What happens after I pay?
You get an order confirmation by email straight away, and we confirm your intake with you. Your portal login and welcome pack arrive the week before you start. In your first mentor session you set your goals for the 11 weeks, and module 01 opens on the Monday your intake begins.
Is CADME an NZQA qualification?
No. CADME is an industry certification issued by the Institute of Digital Marketing New Zealand (IDNZ), so StudyLink loans and allowances don’t apply. If you need an NZQA qualification or a student loan, a diploma may suit you better. The certification comparison page sets out the differences.
Can I talk to someone before I enrol?
Yes. Book a free 15-minute call with a New Zealand mentor to check CADME suits your goals, or email godigital@id.ac.nz.
Where can I see the full CADME course outline?
The CADME course page lists all 11 modules and what you build each week, introduces the mentors, and answers common questions about the course, the internship and the exam.
