Frequently
Asked Question |
At ICS, we aim to make achieving your learning
goals as straight forward and flexible as possible by providing you
with all the information need before, during and even after you have
completed your chosen course.
Here are some of our students' most frequently asked
questions.
|
|
|
|
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?
Yes! All our courses are available to overseas students. If you
there is an exam as part of your course you may be able to arrange
to sit the exam at your local British council. Further information
will be provided with your first study shipment.
|
|
What
will I receive at the end of my course?
For all courses you will receive an ICS Diploma or a recognised
qualification from the awarding body of your course.
