Our students tell their story​

ICAE students come from different parts of the world and have their own stories. Nevertheless, they all have one thing in common – they have the same goal of getting a nationally certified qualification and land a dream job!

Meet our current and former students and check out their stories below.

We want to hear about what you are up to while you study with ICAE. Maybe you won an award, got a promotion, secured a great industry placement position or are just happy with your training. Whatever it is, we want to know! Email: info@icae.edu.au

We try to publish all student stories and student profiles. You can see recent stories below.
