About > Company Profile
Interactive Computer Aided Learning or ICAL as we are better known has been at the sharp edge of the 'Police Training' product market for over years and have been trading as a 'Limited Company' for of those years.
ICAL were the first company to develop a windows based study program - The early program ran on the Windows 3.1 and was unique! It had an easy to use user interface and a question database that was based around the current study material called the 'Law Files'. Since then the software has been re-written using the latest C++ programming language to cater for all the modern operating systems from Windows 98 to XP and Vista. As of this year with the introduction of QuestionMaster Online we can now offer our Questions to Mac OS and Linux users as well!
As well as adding a Timetable system to our popular 'QuestionMaster 2', we have also recently finished creating a brand new 'QuestionMaster Online' system. The great thing about QuestionMaster Online is it doesn't matter what computer system you have - Windows, Mac OS or Linux! - it will work on all of them!
