Exams

The Institute's academic year 2025/26 opens on 19 June 2025.

Online registration is now open.

(All educational courses are taught online through our ICS Online Academy).

To sit exams during the 2025/26 academic year, you need to register as a student. This can be done online at https://shipbrokers.org/.

New students - If you have not registered with the Institute before then you can use https://shipbrokers.org/ to manage your new student account with the Institute. As a new student you will need to register by clicking on the Register button at the top of the page.

Returning students - If you are a student who has previously taken exams with the Institute you will have a login username and password already. This means that you can start registering as a 2025/26 student. This can be done online at https://shipbrokers.org/. Simply use your registered email address, requesting a new password via the 'Forgot Password' button.

Please email education@ics.org.uk if you are unsure how to obtain these details. You must include your student number, date of birth and your email address used at the time of your last registration so that the Education team can quickly locate your records.

Once registered online, you can manage your own account, update your contact information (this information is only used by the Institute to send important information) and also view previous years' exams as well as other information related to your profile, such as any subject exemption granted.
