The ICM Diploma in Commercial Management programme is also suitable for working supervisors and managers who require recognised management qualifications for career advancement or promotion purposes.

Holders of an ICM Diploma in Commercial Management may enter the ICM Advanced Diploma programme and completion of this will enable entry to the final year of appropriate Honours degree programmes. Similarly, Graduate Diploma holders will be able to gain access to appropriate postgraduate courses.
