An Irishman, employed in the docks in Dublin was experiencing family problems. It badly affected the family budget so he felt he had to bring his studies for his Institute exams to a halt.  He had already passed Shipping Business, Port Agency and Liner Trades.

The Trustees of the Education Trust Fund looked into the case and felt that he had already shown commitment by studying and passing three subjects with quite reasonable marks. They therefore assisted him with support to enable him to gain his Professional Qualifying Examinations (PQE). These form the pinnacle of ICS qualifications and completion of these exams is an illustration of one's developed knowledge and understanding of the commercial shipping industry.

Passing through this phase will enable the candidate to gain advancement within his chosen career path in shipping, a demonstration that charity begins at home.
