Most subjects are taught across the semester with a small number taught in half semester blocks. This allows ICHM to prepare students for the demands of the industry during the internships semesters.Students are encouraged to manage their time efficiently and study habits to allow sufficient time for relaxing, playing sport, catching up with family and friends, hobbies and fun.

Group sizes vary over the four years, with operational, service and computer based subjects taught in small groups (e.g. 15-20 students). A lecture and tutorial teaching model is used for the delivery of most subjects.
