I recently finished my Certificate IV in Financial Services with the Institute of Strategic Management, and it was such a great experience! The course was easy to follow, super practical, and the trainers were really supportive and understanding. I felt encouraged the whole way through, and it’s helped me grow so much in my role. I’d definitely recommend ISM to anyone wanting to build their skills or confidence in the financial services space! 🌟Posted on Suzie OttTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Spoke with Kiarah, she was an absolute delight to speak with, honestly she was straight to the point but still so confident and informative with her explanation of course details (there were definatley things I needed clarification on) i have completed my Cert IV with ISM, content and virtual learning structure was on point, and now I’m starting the journey to complete my Diploma, client satisfaction for the WIN in my books.Posted on Marcelo EncinaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience with the process for Cert IV via RPL with ISM. Course coordinator Kiarah was super helpful and responsive and RPL assessor Craig was also great to work with.Posted on Kourosh TabandehTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 visa-related purposesPosted on Michael CampbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Diploma course work was well laid out and easy to follow, the staff were very responsive and obliging. Support was always on hand and the Fast Facts Friday virtual drop in sessions were very helpful.Posted on Tom WrightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a new to industry mortgage broker, I’ve been impressed with the ISM course content & learning resources for the Cert IV & Diploma. I have found the team to be responsive and helpful when additional assistance has been required. I am happy to recommend them to anyone considering undertaking the training to become a Mortgage/Finance Broker.
