Digital and Communication Methods

ICM Professional Diploma Unit

Digital and Communication Methods aims to provide Learners with a foundational understanding of communication within social and professional environments. Learners will explore the principles that underpin effective communication, examine different modes and forms of communication, and recognise how communication skills support personal, social and organisational interactions.

The unit also introduces the role of technology in contemporary communication practices and considers emerging issues such as globalisation, digitalisation, information overload and ethical challenges. Upon completion, Learners will be equipped with knowledge and skills to communicate clearly, appropriately and responsibly across a range of contexts.

This unit forms part of the Community Development and Social Change Qualification.

Example Candidate Response Booklet

Example Candidate Response (ECR) Booklets are a source of crucial information for Centres and Candidates as they use real candidate responses. We ask Senior Examiners to comment on five or more responses in terms of why the mark was awarded with commentary about how to improve the answer (if necessary).
