hat’s a lot of students!). ICB programmes are registered on the South African National Qualifications Framework (NQF). We’ve been around since 1931, which means we really know our stuff. At the end of your ICB studies, you get a qualification that’s credible, reputable and valued by employers. You can study an ICB programme full time or part time at a college, or via correspondence at your own pace. Just choose the option that fits in best around your life. Courses are modular and build on each other, so you can do them a step at a time. And you’ll be surprised how quickly you achieve your first qualification.

*How the ICB works with our accredited training providers:*

The ICB’s role is a bit like that of the Traffic Dept when you get your driving licence. We don’t teach you, but we set the test and assess whether you’ve passed or not. Our accredited training providers are like a driving school, your parents, or a friend who you persuade to teach you to drive!

🌟 From Self-Study to ICB Ambassador! 🌟

"I chose to study through ICB because they recognised my prior learning, allowing me to continue my studies without starting over. The flexible self-study option, affordable costs, convenient exam dates, and coursework that closely reflects real business requirements made it possible to balance my full-time job while preparing effectively for my exams.

By staying committed to my study phases and putting in the effort, I felt fully prepared. I’m honoured that my achievement in Management Accounting and Control Systems has allowed me to serve as an ICB Ambassador."
