Good Online Learning
I thought ICS was great, and l enjoyed doing my Diploma in Business Management. The content was easily to follow, relevant and grading was always expedient.
Pet Grooming Course

Great student services people
Great student services people, super helpful every time
Excellent
Excellent course. Well detailed and with top of the line text books. Worth it. Effective and friendly customer service.
A little outdated
I liked everything about this program except I feel the context of the whole program is outdated. A lot of it was based on 2007 stats and I had a lot of knowledge about nutrition and do not necessary feel like the version of the study manual is correct. I got my certificate fast. I am rating it 4 stars just for the outdated manual. Mandy
Would recommend
Customer service was very helpful, informative and nice. Took time to answer all my questions and concerns, wasn't rushed or made to feel stupid. It was nice to deal with someone who treated you like you mattered not just a number. Everything went smoothly I got all the supplies I needed as soon as I needed them. Would recommend this program to anyone
It was good over all course
Employers don't accept course as certification
My course was not accepted as certification by employers within the targeted job market. The course itself was fine, but a waste of money when employment is the goal. I regret spending so much money on something that covered skills I already had and hasn't increased my employment prospects at all.

Material out of date.
Given the $800 cost of the course, I expected that the material would be up to date. Although many aspects of small engine mechanics have not changed much over the time, there were many points that were too old to be applicable. The photographs were so old they were funny. The outboard engine module was only concerned with two-stroke engines, with little mention and no material on four-stroke engines. The entire course needs to be updated and edited. Overall, I'm unsatisfied.
ICS Bookkeeping course
Thanks to the ICS Bookkeeping course I was able to secure a position with in a CPA Accounting Firm and put all my knowledge and expand my experiences in my accounting career.
Quality courses
Quality courses. I highly recommend ICS Canada.
Easy enrolment and you can take the courses at your own pace, although I recommend a disciplined schedule.
Good program, user friendly.
The website and materials were user friendly.
There are three reasons I took off one star (all minor hiccups): Some of the material was outdated. I.e. An entrie chapter on how to fax, I felt, wasn't required. In the industry, fax machines really aren't used often or in they way they were. Secondly, other online education platforms generally offer options to do mock multiple-choice tests via the student portal as pre-testing tool, which ICS did not offer. So, I would've liked it, but I get that not everyone would use it and it isn't really a necessary training tool. Third: their automatic emails. I signed up for emails prior to enrolling and I got enough spam mail reminding me of sales and to enroll. Once I enrolled- they didn't stop. I was getting emails as a student and as a respective student. When I tried to "unsubscribe" from the pre-enrollment emails- I believe it also took off my student emails. Also, I didn't get an email after finishing all my courses, which is strange. (I have yet to email them to see what is next.)
The program is straight forward. Pay attention to their "schedule" guide to study outline (you can choose to update your schedule plan based on what you've finished at any point in time) it does give a fair indication of how long each module (aka reading/work involved) should take you to complete.
There is a lot of reading, although, I believe if you read material at least once; you will be able to take exams and refer back to material with ease when needed.
99% of the instructor feedback was clear (only one case I was not sure what the issue/concern with assignment was- feedback seemed like a generic copy/paste answer, but I got a passing grade so did not question it).
I already work in the field, so cannot comment on how it helped get a job. I believe it's always a good idea to stay educated with current processes. It did provide alternate ideas to put to use in my current job.
Overall, I would recommend ICS.
Outdated material
I found some material out dated and some wording not appropriate by todays standards.
