"The course was comprehensive and straightforward.  All the materials were well organised and I didn't need to use the specific tutor help, even though it was reassuring to know the support was there if I needed it.  I took the course to increase my knowledge in the area and it has been very useful in my job as a maintenance fitter. I would recommend ICS to anyone!" Chris Wiekowski, ICS Graduate, London
