Choosing ICB
The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers is held in high regard by many employers. Alongside this, there are many reasons why you should choose to study with ICB:
- Scarce skills: Each of the study streams offered by ICB are regarded as scarce skills. This means that not only will your skills be in high demand, but you will also earn a respectable salary.
- Preferred by employers: ICB qualifications are preferred by employers because of their high-quality education. By just having an ICB qualification, you are more likely to find employment.
- Internationally recognised: All ICB qualifications are both nationally and internationally recognised. That means that you can work anywhere you find yourself.
- Further, your education: Each ICB qualification that you do, allows you to further your education just a little bit more. In some cases, you can move on to study at a university level.
- Study via distance learning: Matric College offers all ICB courses via distance learning. That means that you can design your study schedule around work and other responsibilities. Not to mention that you can study from the comfort of your home, in your own time.
- Save money: If you choose distance learning, you will have to pay less than with contact learning. You will also end up paying less money on transport, accommodation and other requirements needed when studying via contact or classroom learning.
The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers acts as an examination body and is not in control of course material. Instead, you can choose a college to study through, such as Matric College.
