The IMIS Syllabus is divided into three grades, as follows:

Foundation Diploma
This leads to IMIS Practitioner Grade. It was introduced to provide a route for candidates to gain entry to our Diploma Course examination. This course is also suitable for young people who want to work with computers and need some entry level education. All modules defined within the course structure may be taken individually or collectively to form a Foundation Diploma. Each module is designed to introduce the student to the basic elements of information systems practices.

Diploma
This leads to IMIS Licentiate Grade. It continues on from the Foundation Diploma level although access at this level is also available to candidates who comply with the entrance requirements. Completion of these examinations awards a Diploma Certificate and the general standard equates to the National (ONC) Certificate. Candidates having completed the Diploma Course are working at the equivalent level of early entry analysts.

Higher Diploma
This leads to IMIS Associate Grade. It extends and complements the Diploma Course to give students a comprehensive knowledge of the entire field of operations, programming, systems analysis and design, and computer management. A Higher Diploma award equates to the Higher National Certificate/Diploma (HNC/HND) and prepares candidates for work at the equivalent level of analyst/team leader.
