Bookkeeping is a career that is constantly evolving with new jobs and skills being added in the field. This means there is a great number of jobs in the market and studying ICB will afford you the opportunity to grow in your skills and land your dream job! According to ICB '' The bookkeeping field is constantly growing…The noble bookkeeper does everything from maintaining financial records, problem solving to taking on the role of trusted financial advisor. And it can be lucrative!" However, to tap into this field you need the right skills and a recognised qualification. Stay ahead of your peers - study and work at the same timeThe ICB course is done part-time through IBTC. This allows you to build a career and stay ahead of your peers while you study. It important to understand the business from all sides and working and studying gives you the knowledge you need to do just that. It exposes you to different scenarios where you can apply what you’re learning.

A course that is designed to give a broad, encompassing overview of ALL sides of business will allow you to gain the understanding you need to get where you want to go." says ICB.

Each of the ICB programmes is broken up into 3 - 4 levels and you receive a certificate for each level. This means you do not need to finish the whole qualification to have a recognised certificate, which you can use as proof of your skills. With ICB no studying is ever wasted.
