What our students say
"The  course from ICS was ideal - the course materials were excellent,  and I got great support from my tutor when I needed it, which helped me to keep motivated.  When I passed my exam, I was delighted and my employers were really impressed. Soon after I got my promotion and I now love my job as a 'number cruncher!' The course from ICS has really opened doors for me and given me the confidence I needed to
get ahead."   Donna Linden, Glasgow
