ICM for Students

Integrated Care & Management Training is one of the few training organisations able to offer individual students the opportunity to study a wide range of nationally accredited Health, Community Services and Business courses. Most of our students choose to study by distance learning, either via traditional print-based distance learning or via our state-of-the-art elearning platform. We work closely with our partner organisation, Open Colleges, to provide individual students with outstanding support and a fantastic learning experience.

Flexible, Creative Training

At Integrated Care & Management Training, we recognize the need to deliver our courses in a flexible manner. Students have different training needs, workplace requirements and lifestyle pressures. As such, our flexible distance learning courses are ideally suited to meeting varied needs.

Our flexible learning options means that learning can be free from the time and place requirements of traditional learning environments. Flexible learning is all about:

  • Making learning available to all learners, irrespective of their current level of knowledge or working experience.
  • Expanding choices in respect of what, when, where and how people learn.
  • Reducing barriers to entry.

With flexible learning, the focus is on learning rather than teaching, and a move from pedagogy to andragogy. By embracing a multitude of learning options, students are provided with access to a wide range of learning tools and opportunities.

Real World Experience

We employ a large number of highly skilled industry professionals who have many years of experience in their chosen industry. Many have had successful careers in both the public and private sectors and have now joined ICMT to share their skills and knowledge. Not only do we have the technical expertise to support your training, we also focus on ensuring that our trainers are passionate educators who have a flair for teaching and learning.

Distance Learning

For many of our students, distance learning is the best way to undertake training. Distance education courses are flexible and convenient and offer the same high quality education and training that one would expect from face-to-face learning experiences. One of the greatest benefits to students is that distance learning provides flexible options for learning outside of the work environment. This means that learners can fit their training into their hectic work schedules and pace their learning to fit in with their lifestyle.

At ICMT, we offer our students two options when it comes to distance learning - either traditional distance learning or internet based elearning.

The introduction of new technologies has lent itself to new ways of delivering distance learning. ICMT are gradually introducing these technologies:

  • Teleconference and videoconference – internet communication has allowed for distance education to be provided through virtual classrooms and webinars. Students and tutors can interact in real time, sharing computer screens, presentations and other resources online.
  • Computer-assisted instruction – advanced computer training programs have been developed to help guide students through the instructional material of the course. The programs can also provide an assessment that students must progress through, completing relevant tasks.
  • Internet-based courses – these courses can combine a number of elements to provide a complete distance education solution for off-site learning. Lectures and broadcast type instruction can be presented online, supported by webinars, live videoconferencing and computer-assisted instruction.

Government Funding

ICMT works closely with our students in determining what funding options may be available to them. A number of government funding initiatives for workplace training are available. These funding initiatives have been developed to assist organisations with upskilling their staff as a consequence of the extensive skills shortages being experienced. This is an opportunity for employers to access funding in order to train and develop their staff at a low or zero cost to the organisation.

Traineeships

ICMT offers a range of Government funded traineeships in NSW. For more information on Government-funded traineeships, visit our Traineeships Qualifications page.
