The ICMS applied learning and teaching philosophy delivers a student experience that is both relevant and contemporary to the workplace. Our academic faculty has extensive industry experience, high-level qualifications and a passion for teaching. All ICMS courses allow flexibility to follow your individual strengths and passions.
