Juliet, Emma and Jo - just before their exam! Ouma, Julia, Tracy and Pat after their exam! (All Distinctions in June 2003) Aims of the course The course prepares candidates for the ICB examination that is a qualification recognised world-wide and that equips candidates to practice as a book-keeper. Concepts, methods, techniques and practice materials are presented which enable candidates to gain the skills to successfully pass the examination. The course is fundamental to any further career development in the book-keeping and accountancy field. Successful achievement of the qualification can be accredited as prior learning towards entry onto higher level accountancy courses. Pre-requisites The course is open to anyone wishing to enter book-keeping as an independent occupation; or to find book-keeping related employment in an office. There are no age restrictions or pre-requisite educational qualifications although applicants are presumed to be literate and numerate.

Unique course - Unique opportunity - Only with The Book-keeping Academy Email us with any questions: icbbook@avired.com Taught by fully qualified tutors 4 people per class - maximum Qualification and Certification The course covers the syllabus for the Intermediate Level Qualification issued by The Institute of Certified Book-keepers which contains all fundamental elements of book-keeping and accountancy concepts and methodology. Soon after you are enrolled on the course, you will receive your membership card from the Institute. On successfully completing the course assignments, you will be issued with an achievement certificate from The Academy. After successfully passing the examination, you will be registered as a member of the Institute of Certified Book-keepers entitled to the letters AICB after your name, and you will receive the Institute's formal certificate. You will be qualified to prepare the books of sole traders and small businesses. Qualified book-keepers are in great demand by self-employed people and businesses of all types and sizes. Syllabus Petty Cash - General Ledger - cash book - personal accounts - cash transactions - credit transactions - daybooks - business documents - correcting book-keeping errors - trial balance - trading, profit and loss accounts - balance sheets - suspense accounts - the journal - bank reconciliation - wages, PAYE - control accounts - capital and revenue expenditure - dealing with VAT - VAT return - 2 mock examination papers. In addition, candidates may take away 2 additional mock exam papers for post-course study and subsequent feedback. Don't be tempted into booking yourself onto a computerised book-keeping course instead of a manual book-keeping course. Computerised packages such as Sage, Quickbooks and all the others do all the double-entries for you - but you are unlikely to understand what the package is doing! At the end of the course you will probably only be qualified as a data entry clerk. Many people think they only need to learn a computerised accountancy package - but, be warned, there are no shortcuts to becoming a book-keeper. You have to fully understand book-keeping to be able to appreciate a computerised system. Lia, Vanessa and David working in class (all Distinctions) Teaching methodology and resources The course is not computer-based and all work is completed by hand. Each candidate receives extensive course materials covering the course. The teaching is carried out using modern methods in fully equipped executive-style classrooms. The maximum class size is 4 people to ensure each delegate receives individual attention and immediate feedback. Each teacher-led session covers one or more units of the syllabus. Each of these sessions are followed by practice time with a teacher in attendance. This gives candidates the opportunity to master the methods and techniques they have been taught to enable them to complete the home-study assignments and mock examination papers. The home-study assignments are assessed and marked in line with The Institute of Certified Book-keepers guidelines. Mock examination papers and the assignments contribute towards the final course pass mark. Course timetable Pre-course reading materials are sent out prior to the course start date. The course runs for 2 weeks, Monday to Friday, from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Full time course of intensive study: 50% teacher-led instruction and 50% practice with a teacher on hand to help. Minimum of 30 hours home-study time. Each piece of assigned home-study work is assessed and contributes to the final examination assessment. Tuition is given by fully qualified tutors registered with the ICB. On successfully achieving the assignments, candidates go on to take their 3 hour Intermediate level qualification final examination. The national examinations are held three times a year: February, June and October. Candidates are advised to contact the ICB directly to book their exam before their course in Spain. Successful levels of achievement are: Pass, Merit or Distinction. Results are notified by the Institute within approximately 4 weeks.
