Studying towards a recognised qualification

ICS Online Academy offers courses in support of students preparing to undertake the Institute examinations and get qualified with a Diploma or the Institute's Professional Qualifying Examinations (PQEs) leading to membership.

The Institute's PQE forms the pinnacle of the Institute's qualification leading to membership. It comprises seven exams, which can be taken over a maximum of five years. Exemptions may be available to candidates with prior qualifications.

The Advanced Diploma has been designed as a stepping stone into full professional qualification and suits those who have some industry knowledge. It involves taking two exams: the Institute's benchmark paper Shipping Business plus one other subject from the list of optional papers from the Institute's syllabus.

The Foundation Diploma is ideal for people who have little industry experience and would like to gain practical knowledge and a sound qualification. It involves taking two exams: Introduction to Shipping plus one other optional paper.

The ICS Online Academy Courses offer a great structured programme to study part-time and flexibly around existing commitments wherever you are located.
