"I really can't praise this course enough. I LOVED every minute of it - it's so detailed, clear and thorough. There are so many types of shoe you learn about, but it also gives you the skills to develop your own designs and styles. As a result of ICMS I have been able to launch a shoe brand of my own - something I never imagined possible. Would give it 100/5 stars if I could."
