What do I need to get started on an ICS course?
You don't need any previous experience or qualifications. All you need is a desire to succeed!
How does the distance learning method work?
 To make studying as flexible and convenient as possible, all our paper-based courses are divided into bite-sized modules that consist of clearly identified study units. You work through each unit at your own pace. At the end of each unit there is a test paper for you to complete and send to your tutor for marking. Your tutor will return this to you with your mark and any comments.
 
 With all our courses you only move on a new module after successfully completing the previous one - and only when you feel ready. With useful tips and self-assessments at every stage, you'll find your confidence and ability increasing steadily as you progress.
Do I have to complete my course within a set period?
For most of our courses you have three year study and support guarantee which means we will provide you with the materials and assistance you need to complete your course within this period.
How quickly will I receive my course material?
For on line courses you will be able to start straight away once your payment has been processed. For other courses your enrolment should be processed within two days and your course materials delivered within two weeks.
What support will I receive from ICS?

Studying at home doesn't mean studying alone.

For all of our paper based courses, you will benefit from the support of a Personal Tutor, experienced in helping students in a distance learning situation. Your tutor will mark and comment on your work, providing feedback and encouragement, plus answering any queries you may have.

All students have access to our ICS Student Advisors, who are only a phone call away and can provide you with practical assistance throughout your course. So we really are with you 100%!

Will I have to sit an examination?
For ICS Diploma courses there is generally no examination - you are assessed on a continuous basis.
Can I study from outside the UK?
