Entry to the Course
International students will be tested on entry to determine their English level.
Students should also have completed at least a basic level (high-school) of education in order to follow the course successfully.
Students will be monitored by the teacher throughout the course and if there are serious gaps in the student's basic knowledge, extra study may be suggested by the tutor.
Our Students
Most students are aged between 22 and 35, although we have a full range of ages in each class and anyone aged 18 or above is welcome.
Each class has a good mix of students of different ages and from different backgrounds to encourage a lively exchange of ideas and debate.
Terms
Each term is 12 weeks in length and start in January, April, June and September (please contact reception for exact dates).
Classes run for 10 weeks, then the exam is in the 11th week, so students do not have formal classes, but the teacher will be available for revision queries and students will be able to spend time in the college completing private revision study.
The 12th week is a course break: so students can relax a little and also start to prepare for the next module by reviewing the new textbook and syllabus.
Teachers
The ICM course teachers are carefully chosen for both their teaching experience and industry knowledge.
They will have worked in the field and will have plenty of practical examples to give to you a thorough understanding of business related concepts and theories.
Tutorials
Your tutor will meet with you to discuss your progress on the course at least once in each module (although quite often they may spend on-to-one time with you throughout the module).
This helps you to tell your tutor about what you are finding difficult and they can give you advice about how to solve these problems.
Books
The core textbooks for year 1 are included in the course fee and will be given to you at the start of each module.
Examinations
The exams take place at LITE and are closely monitored by an invigilator to make sure they are completed following ICM regulations.
All exam fees are included in the course price (excluding re-sits). Once you have taken the exam, your answer sheet will be sent directly to ICM and an examiner will mark and grade it.
The exams take place in March, June, September and December (at the end of each term).
