Another advantage of studying at IPC is the individual attention you can receive from friendly, approachable staff. Because of small classes (15 students per class on average), unlike in larger institutions, individual support and attention are readily available for all students.

Most student at IPC have their own lap-top computers. They can also access computer laboratories with the latest equipment available. Students learn many applications through instruction in class, but they develop their own computer skills by using them for assignments and projects as well as personal interest and hobbies. Computing is a vital part of IPC life.
