Testimonials

Course and internships

The teaching method was more practical. I learned by doing, not by listening. And above all the quality to become more autonomous was very useful to me. Icam helped me identify my potential and helped me choose the right career path. It opened a new world of opportunities and also a new culture. When you work with a team you can see exactly what the practical use of a theoretical idea is. I had a wonderful cultural exposure in terms of: Work Attitude, Communication, Sharing burdens, Professional approach, Emotional balance, Stress ; Client/Student interaction and Networking ; Employee work environment in a service based industry.

 

Housing and cultural assimilation

It was a wonderful experience which really helped me in both personal and professional frontiers. This experience really brought a new perspective to my life and with its memories and friendship to cherish for a long time. It wasn’t easy at the beginning, because of the French language and cultural differences. But with efforts and good accompaniment from Icam, I knew I was in the good way. The challenges I faced helped me become more independent. I appreciated the fact that there is no hierarchy. Student life experience was primarily what I cherish the most.
