Business and Office Administration 3

You can start at any time, study from anywhere and set your own pace. Apart from study material and exam practice questions, you also get a Study Plan and unlimited tutor access until your exam. Study at your own pace and in your own space. You can speed up your studies if you want to qualify quickly - no waiting for classes to begin. Or you can take it slowly if you wish.

Good office managers need three attributes in particular. They must be well organised, be good communicators and have a particularly large dose of common sense. The role not only needs someone who has authority and is respected, but also the knack of persuasion for all those trifling little things that need doing but tend not to get done. In addition, a basic knowledge of accounts or budgets is an advantage as usually the role involves monitoring or authorising expenditure and invoices and keeping basic office expenses as low as possible.

Written exams can be taken in July and November. Exams can also be taken online at home in April, June, Aug, Oct, Dec and Feb of each year. 

The ICB academic year runs from 1 April to 31 March every year. This means your last exam on your existing study material will be in April of each year, and the first exam on the new study material will be from June onwards. 

The ICB examines Business Literacy at three NQF levels (3, 4 and 5) in one subject. The three levels have been bundled into one subject and the PoE and final exam will cover all three.
