The minimum scores required are: IELTS 6.0, TOEFL iBT 64 (only if taken on or before 25 July 2023), Cambridge English Advanced (CAE) 169, or PTE Academic 50.

Yes. ICM can grant you credit towards your course for units of competency that you have already completed with another RTO or authorised issuing organisation, as well as for subjects where equivalence can be established. There is no charge to apply for credit — you simply need to fill in the Credit Application Form and submit it as part of your enrolment. Note that granting credit will reduce your course duration.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process where skills and knowledge gained through work and life experience and other unrecognised training can be formally recognised. You should ideally apply for RPL at the time of enrolment, but you may also apply up to 2 weeks into your course. If RPL is determined as a possibility, you will be provided with a kit to guide you through each unit and identify whether you can provide the required evidence, with a trainer/assessor available to assist throughout the process.

Graduates of the Diploma of Leadership and Management can pursue entry-level opportunities across all sectors of the global economy, including Public Service & Government, Education Sector, Health & Service Industries, Manufacturing & Mining, Retail Sector, and E-commerce.
