No, but we do teach this stuff to IT students, some of whom are doing

There doesn't appear to be anything on this in vocational qualifications
for marketers or financial advisers. The closest I could find was for

"1.2 Prepare messages according to organisational protocols for
language, tone and format.
1.3 Check content, structure and recipient addresses for electronic mail
for accuracy."

person qualified in Cyber Security.
