What our students say
"I studied two A' levels with ICS to help me get to university - it was convenient for me because my school didn't offer courses I wanted to do and I'm not tied down to a rigid way of studying. The textbooks were easy to find, and the coursework is very self-explanatory."    Leon Williams
