We would ask all current and prospective ICM students in Zambia to note that ICM (UK) has no connection or relationship with the Zambian Institute of Commercial Management.

Those operating ZICM have previously been warned that they face a potential legal action for ‘Passing Off’.

If you pay any money to the ZICM you do so at your own risk.

The following gives a summary of the revised assessment methods for Units on the Postgraduate Diploma in Management to be implemented for all exam entries for March 2013 and subsequent exam periods. Please note that from March 2013 all Units will be assessed by formal examinations. Where appropriate, supplementary material including Case Studies will be issued in advance of the examinations.

Unit assessment methods

1. Financial Decision Making: 3 hour Examination – 100%
2. Management of Change: 3 hour Examination – 100%
3. Operations Management: 3 hour Examination – 100%
4. People in Organisations: 3 hour Examination – 100%
5. International Marketing Strategy: 3 hour Examination – 100%
6. Contemporary Strategic Management: 3 hour Examination – 100%

In preparation for these examinations, where appropriate, a case study or other supplementary material (e.g. management accounts, descriptions of problems/issues, other pre-reading material) will appear on the ICM website two months before the examination date.

For some units, students will be allowed to take up to two pages (4 sides) of A4 notes containing notes and analysis of the pre-issued material into the examination. This will be clearly specified for each Unit in the pre-issued material, shown on the website, prior to the examination.

Purchasing Management will now be held on Friday 14th of December in the afternoon commencing at 2.00pm.

Countries this will apply to are as follows:
Australasia
China
Europe & all EU Member States
Gulf States
Hong Kong
Malaysia
North America
Saudi Arabia
Singapore
South America

This decision was reached following a Review of the results obtained by those undertaking studies on their own at home.

We know and recognise that tuition fees at schools and colleges are a barrier to many young students and their families but without the support of teachers, in excess of 85% of Home Study students fail their examinations. This compares with fail rates of 36% for those studying at a school or college.

Our view is that for the Home Study student, the costs of entering and failing an examination is far too heavy a price to pay.

It demoralises the candidate and is a waste of both theirs and their sponsors hard earned money.
