Terms
Each term is 12 weeks in length and starts in January, March, June and September. Classes run for 10 weeks, then the examinations are held during the 12th and 13th weeks, so you do not have formal classes, but the teacher will be available for revision queries.
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.
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.
