Gain an internationally recognised qualification with an ICS Diploma

Institute Qualifications > Diplomas

These qualifications are awarded when a candidate succeeds taking two exams within the same exam session:

·       for a Foundation Diploma candidates should appear for the Introduction to Shipping exam plus one other subject of choice.

·       for an Advanced Diploma, candidates should appear for the Shipping Business exam plus one other subject of choice.

Below please find the list of all 28 ICS Diplomas available.

> Foundation Diploma

The Foundation Diploma is ideal for people with little industry experience but who would like to gain practical knowledge and a sound qualification. It involves taking the Introduction to Shipping paper plus one other subject from Group 1 (except Shipping Business) or from the Group 2 list of optional papers from the Institute's syllabus.

The Foundation Diploma is a stand-alone qualification in its own right, but because it can count towards your membership examinations it is also a great way to ease into study and gives you an overall view of the business.

A Foundation Diploma is awarded if both subjects are passed in the same exam sitting.

Foundation Diplomas:

Diploma Qualifications also contribute to PQE credits.

>  Advanced Diploma

The Advanced Diploma has been designed as a stepping stone into full professional qualification and suits those who have some industry knowledge. Like the Foundation Diploma, the Advanced Diploma is a recognised and respected qualification and it can count towards your Professional Qualifying Examinations. It involves taking the Institute's benchmark paper Shipping Business plus one other subject from Group 1 (except Introduction to Shipping) or from  the Group 2 list of optional papers from the Institute's syllabus.

An Advanced Diploma is awarded if both subjects are passed in the same exam sitting.
