Great experience doing my Cert IV in Mortgage Broking. Great downloadable PDFs with material & questions - then another with fillable for questions, Great Quiz process, then brilliant last assessment with a "real life" experienced person that I learned a lot of information that was practical and not even on the questions but tested my overall learning not just the process but the practical - great experience and reasonably priced and was recommended by another mortgage broker who had used them and had the same experience.

I also found a thought process of - lets teach and test - but you can prove your knowledge of the subject matter without making it complicated - I found it quite easy to know what was being asked in the question (usually the section question was directly below the material being covered so easy to know what they wanted and respond quickly with the correct answer that aided learning -than worry that they were trying to "trick" you or make you take more time than needed just to try to see who was ranked highest/lowest or try to fail a certain percentage.

I think their courses would suit people well who were ESL (English as a 2nd Language) or ADHD or had other learning difficulties because of the fantastic format and quick focused learning and ease of getting through the material.

I've done my fair share of study too - so I've seen how those assessing can make the learning experience painful by not making it engaging or practical enough.

The cross section of activities made the experience challenging and exciting. I would recommend this program to leaders who are looking to grow within themselves and ready to explore new ideas and concepts. A fantastic experience! Thankyou Gerard Hermens and...

My experience with ISM was disappointing due to their extremely slow and inefficient processing times. Although I completed my course in about a month, it took nearly five months to receive my certificate. Every stage of the process felt unnecessarily drawn out, as if delays were built in just to appear like progress was being made. What should have been a straightforward and timely experience turned into a frustrating, drawn-out ordeal. There's a clear need for ISM to streamline their systems and improve communication, especially for students who need timely outcomes for professional or...
