Firstly, we are Independent External Examination body - we assess competency. This is important, as it means that we are not a training provider and we don't run the courses or provide training materials. Our Accredited Colleges to that.
We are endorsed by an International External Examination Body IQB - www.iqb.org.uk which gives the ICB courses and programmes international recognition. Bearing in mind that ICB in itself is a highly respected institution and been in business since 1931 offering world class courses and programmes to learners.
In order for our Programmes to be delivered, we have about 500 Approved Training Providers, who are all registered with DHET (Department of Education and Higher Training), to run ICB courses and training for our programmes.
Before getting started, there are 3 big decisions, that will determine how you join the programme. Please take some time to go through these on our website (click the links below)
- What to study (which of the programmes will suit you)
- How to study (classroom, correspondence, full/part time, etc.)
- Where to study (ICB accredited training providers)
Once you have decided on a programme, we highly recommend that you enrol via one of our accredited Training Providers. The easiest way to connect with possible Training Provider's is to use our "FIND A PROVIDER" facility on our website: Simply go to www.icb.org.za/where-to-study, choose a few colleges close to you, and ask them to send you options and a free quote!
If you rather decide to register with us directly, you can simply click through to the Student Portal from the website, and:
- Create a student Profile (no payment needed)
- Register with the ICB as a student (Registration Fee payable)
- Enter for exams
- Pay your ICB fees using a credit card, or EFT
After registration, you will receive confirmation emails and guidance on the next steps.
After you have completed an ICB programme, there are various routes thereafter. See this article about ICB Recognition for more information.
