Are you interested in sharpening your financial or business knowledge while working full time? Looking to jumpstart your journey up the corporate ladder and stand out from the rest? An Accredited Business Qualification from the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) provides the perfect starting place for YOU.
A diverse offering
ICB’s 5 study programmes cover a wide range of fields and competencies meaning that there truly is something for everyone. Financial and Public Sector Accounting courses will equip you with all the practical and theory knowledge you need to become an accounting whizz. If you prefer to be your own boss, the Entrepreneurship and Business Management offering will help you on your way to making your mark in the business world.
Exemptions
Do you have credits from previously completed courses? You can use them to get a head start on your ICB certification. Credits from NQF qualifications completed in the past five years can be used to qualify for bursaries and exemptions with ICB. Applicable work experience can be transferred into credits, granting you valuable time and money saving exemptions.
Climb the ranks
Many ICB certifications share a group of ‘core’ subjects. This means that once you’ve completed one course, you may only have to take two or three extra subjects in order to get a completely new qualification. This makes it easy to broaden your skillset quickly and add to your growing list of achievements.
Desne’ is a former student who completed her ICB qualification with us. She excelled in her studies, was recognised as an ICB top achiever numerous times and has since started her own bookkeeping and accounting services business.
“Studying ICB played a huge role in me starting my own bookkeeping and accounting services business. Had I not done ICB, I would never have had the skills to even try.”
This is a testament to the life changing potential of YOU and a qualification from ICB.
Level up
Financial certifications completed through ICB can be used to enroll and receive exemptions for CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) and ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) qualifications making your path to CFO that much easier.
No Matric? No Problem!
ICB offers several courses which require a gr.10 (Standard 8) for you to enroll. No matric certification or prior financial/business knowledge is necessary. With ICB, everything you need to know will be learned as you progress through your business qualification journey. This means you will develop a full understanding of your selected subjects from the ground up.
Flexibility
We know what it’s like – We often plan everything down to the finest detail, but sometimes life gets in the way – Have to free up time to deal with an increased workload? With ICB, you’re free to put your studies on hold and pick up where you left off, whenever it suits you best.
ICB makes financial and business education accessible to all and is the perfect place to begin your journey into the corporate world.
