ICCE recognises that students benefit from engaging with learning contexts that extend their thinking beyond the immediate acquisition of subject knowledge and understanding into the application of higher order/critical thinking skills. Coursework, therefore, is a vital component of the ICCE qualification.

It is intended that ICCE students will benefit from coursework by:

• Developing critical thinking and analytical skills
• Being able to express thoughts clearly and logically
• Gaining more knowledge about a particular subject
• Improving writing and communication skills
• Being prepared for the demands of employment or tertiary education
