Why ICMS?

A lot of people ask me why I decided to come to ICMS, seeing as I had family in France and could have easily gone to university in Switzerland instead. The answer has always been because of the courses offered, along with the Industry Training programme, as well as the location. No one could disagree that this a great location. We have it all here in Manly, especially the views from most of the classrooms, which sometimes makes you want to be out in the surf rather than in class, but that’s a different point. ICMS offered what Switzerland could not have offered me in 2007 – a Bachelor of Business Administration in Event Management. Since 2001, I have always dreamed of becoming a Wedding Planner, thanks to the movie of the same title. Choosing ICMS for me was a career path in order to become one and hopefully one day open my own Wedding Consultancy Company in Sydney.

The Industry Training Programme was also another point of interest for me in choosing to come to ICMS, as it gave me the opportunity to work full time during my course for up to 9 months, I was going to have experience in the hospitality field before even having graduated. Another great thing about ICMS is having the ability to live less than one minute from your classrooms, which has become so valuable especially during these cold winters we get, as I don’t have to even worry about venturing into the cold and rain in order to get to my classes.
