| To join the Institute, you need to have passed the Professional Qualifying Examinations (PQE).Alternatively you can write a 15,000 word dissertation on a subject of your choice that has to be approved by the Institute. Most people though qualify through the examination route.
In addition ICS offers the internationally recognized qualifications - the Foundation Diploma and the Advanced Diploma. The Diplomas are designed for those who are either new to the industry or do not want to take the full ICS course and qualify as a member of the Institute but do want to further their knowledge of the Shipping Industry. They are internationally recognized qualifications.
Staff with ICS qualifications subscribe to a common worldwide standard of professional competence and conduct. They have a thorough understanding of all aspects of shipping including law, insurance and economics enabling them to all communicate effectively with specialist professionals.
"ICS is the only source of professional and vocational qualifications in shipping. Take it from us, all other things being equal, the ICS qualified candidate will get the job."
- Phil Parry, Managing Director, Spinnaker Consulting
