UK-based
professional examination and awarding body, the Institute of Commercial
Management has ironed out challenges with holders of ICM-UK certificates with
Ghana’s National Accreditation Board.
A meeting
between the two institutions sought to address discrepancies in the equivalence
of ICM-UK certificates with other accredited tertiary institutions in the
country.
ICM was
established in the 1970s in United Kingdom as an international examining and awarding
body.
It
is aimed at providing globally recognized Awards for business and management
students with hundreds of affiliate centers in over 80 countries across the
world.
In
Ghana, the institution has over 20 thousand students pursuing their programmes
from over 40 affiliate centers nationwide pursuing various disciplines form
Diploma to Professional Degree, equivalent to MBA in Ghana.
However,
some students in the country over the years have been challenged with
certificates recognition, course progression route and certificates equivalency
from the National Accreditation Board and other educational institutions.
Chairman
of ICM-UK, Adair Somerville-Ford has been on a five-day working visit to Ghana.
The intent of the trip, among others, is to address challenges faced by ICM
students and graduates in Ghana.
He has
assured ICM-UK students of continues support from the National Accreditation
Board in certificates evaluation and recognition.
Mr.
Somerville-Ford has entreated Ghanaians to take advantages of ICM programmes,
which are designed to address the personal development and socio-economic
development of the country.
He
engaged center coordinators from the Greater Accra and the Ashanti Regions on the
sustainable future of ICM programmes in Ghana.
Centers
such as the Oxford Institute of Acting and Journalism in Kumasi and the Central
University in Accra appealed to Mr. Ford to consider exchange programmes to further
develop capacity of students.
Mr.
Addair Somerville Ford was accompanied by the Examination Officer for Ghana,
Chris Pullen, Country Director for ICM, Madam Getrude Nyarko, Country
Administrator, Ephraim Denteh and other dignitaries.
