FAQs

 Is ICD really an IH partner?
Yes — verified directly on IH World Organisation's own site, which lists IH Lahore, IH Karachi, and IH Islamabad as ICD's centres, affiliated since November 2025.
Why do some courses show no ICD discount?
The Self-Study bundle and the single-module "How to Teach IELTS" option are IH's standard fee only; the ICD discount applies to the other courses, including the 4-module IELTS bundle.
