Significant events
- “The Covid-19 pandemic has been the most significant risk to ICM, and the situation was monitors and managed through adapted assessments and financial mangement initiatives to secure the future of ICM.”
- “Cyber security is an ever-increasing risk to all businesses and ICM employ a third-party company who provide training to all ICM members of staff, including testing staff on their ability to identify cyber security attacks.”
- “The launch of the new CBQs resulted in an increase in income in 2024 and the various initiatives in 2025, including a partnership with the Department for Business and Trade, will lead to new income from 2026.”
- “Most significant development over 2024 and 2025 is the addition of further CBQs to the portfolio of qualifications. CBQs assess practical skills in order to work towards closing the global skills gap and support learners through assessing their practical skills rather than through a traditional examination.”
