During the September quarter, savings were seen in occupancy costs with a quarterly saving of $48,000 . The company also extinguished $118,000 of loans further strengthening the balance sheet. The company is expecting lower revenue growth in the December quarter owing predominantly to the Christmas break and a seasonal downturn in vocational enrolments as agents focus on the Higher Education sector for February commencements.

The September quarter saw three significant developments for the iCollege Group both at home and internationally.
Opening of Training and Simulation Centre in Dubai
On July 23, the business announced that subsidiary, Risktec International had opened its new training and Simulation Centre in partnership with Proclad Academy. This facility is in Dubai and is well positioned to service the Middle Eastern resources market.
Risktec International is a specialist Crises and Emergency Management training organisation delivering training to major operating companies. Risktec International has been operational for 18 years and during that time has been the recipient of several awards and has delivered training to many of the world’s largest operating and drilling companies including BP and Transocean.
Following the Risktec announcement, iCollege completed negotiations with Parabellum International to enter into a training services agreement. iCollege had been working with Parabellum International to develop a resources-based client specific scope of training services designed to be delivered either at the new Parabellum International Emergency Response site or at the client's premises.
Partnership with Parabellum International
Following a successful pilot program, the partnership agreement was announced to the market on 27 August 2019.
Parabellum International systems are designed for the most exacting clients in the world and under strict legislative frameworks, which makes Parabellum one of the most soughtafter remote crisis and emergency response specialists worldwide.
Training has continued since the signing of the partnership agreement and additional clients have shown great interest in the delivery of nationally accredited training to their employees. iCollege also anticipates the expansion of this agreement to include delivery internationally in conjunction with Risktec International.
Preferred partnership agreement with Cambridge English
iCollege Limited signed a preferred partnership agreement with Cambridge English as the Australian agent for their exciting new English Assessment product LINGUASKILL.
Linguaskill is a quick and convenient online test to help organisations check the English levels of individuals and groups of candidates. It tests all four language skills: speaking, writing, reading and listening. It’s fast and accurate and can be easily administered at a company’s own venue. If required, the test can be remote proctored (securely monitored).
Linguaskill provides accurate results within 48 hours, with clear individual test reports and group reports. Results are aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), the international standard for describing language ability. Linguaskill also reports against the Cambridge English Scale to provide a more detailed understanding of performance. Supported by artificial intelligence, the test is reliable and accurate.
Linguaskill has been developed for higher education institutions, VET providers, employers, student recruitment agencies and can be used to determine suitability for:
-
Admissions : Assess students’ language levels on admission.
-
Graduation : Check your students meet exit requirements.
-
Progression : Measure improvement in language ability over time.
-
Recruitment : Hire employees with the right English skills.
Marketing of the Linguaskill product has begun in earnest through the newly established iCollege division, TestEd. This initiative is expected to provide significant revenue streams.
The September quarter clearly demonstrates the turnaround of the business and provides a solid base to move forward. The business will continue to concentrate on growing student
numbers and stringent cash management processes. I look forward to sharing further successes with you across the coming quarter.
