This course is offered by International Compliance Association Commercial Services (ICA’s approved training provider). During the restrictions imposed by the Covid19 pandemic the ICA have made significant investments in technology and resources to create a new student experience – a blend of self-study, instructor-led virtual classroom dynamic discussions around live scenarios, topical reviews of industry events and bite-size videos. All designed to help you get the most out of the course, increase your chances of successes and take away the practical knowledge you need to think differently and perform better in your role.

• 6-month course assessed by 2 written assignments (2,000 to 2,500 words)
• A mixture of guided online study and participation in live sessions:
• 1 x virtual classroom – groups are limited to 36 students to maximise the study experience
• 1 x live, immersive learning scenario – a powerful experience putting you at the centre of a story, helping you bridge the gap between what you know and how you can apply that knowledge in your role
• 6 x monthly “in the spotlight” videos covering the latest industry developments
• Proactive support throughout the course to help you stay on track

It is recommended that you study 6-8 hours per week over the six month period.
