PROSPECTUS
2015
The ICB was established in 1931 – which
means they’ve been around for 84 years, and
they’re still extremely passionate about what do!
Their role is to improve and maintain the quality of bookkeeping,
accounting, office management and financial management
training and qualifications in southern Africa.
With over 80 years’ experience, they really do know what’s what.
Which is why they’ve been a Quality Assurance Partner of the
Finance and Accounting Services Sector Education and Training
Authority (Fasset) for years. ICB is not a training provider – they
are an examining and certification body for several of Fasset’s
business qualifications.

learning areas (subjects) you’ll get your first
qualification.
You can then build on this by completing more
groups of learning areas, upgrading your
qualifications as you go.
What’s great is that you can take a short break
between qualifications
Should you choose to continue your studies later,
you can pick up where you left off.
Just don’t take too long a break, as subject material
does change, and if you leave it too long, you
might need to do some make-up courses.
Want to be able to offer indispensable
bookkeeping and accounting skills, or
become a certified accountant someday?
This is the course for you.
There are 12 learning areas – subjects –
which build on each other. You can get
your first qualification (National Certificate:
Bookkeeping) after completing just 4
subjects.
Then work your way up through the next
levels until you ultimately achieve the
National Diploma: Financial Accounting.
This programme could be right for if you are: Aiming to be
employed in a finance department, Juggling the finances of a
growing company, Running a small business, Considering

WHEN TO WRITE EXAMS?
ASSESSMENT TIMETABLE
The are important for when you’ll write your final assessments and submit your Portfolio of Evidence. It is quite important that you
register for each assessment by the closing date.
IMPORTANT
These assessment timetables are subject to change and the ICB reserves the right to cancel any assessment at its own discretion.

SO…..HOW ARE YOU ASSESED AS AN ICB LEARNER??
It’s pretty simple. 30% of your final mark comes from the
activities and evaluations you undertake during your course.
Your Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) is a folder given to you at the
start of the course, once you’ve registered for an assessment
with the ICB. You’ll need to put any assignments given to you
as well as the tests you take in it. Your PoE is complete when
your final assessment is added to it at the end of your course.
When you sit down to write your final assessment – which
counts for the remaining 70% - you’ll include it in your PoE,
which an ICB registered assessor will then check to see the
levels of competencies you have achieved. The activities and
evaluations are essential, as they prepare you for the final
assessment, and also provide evidence of the hard work and
effort you’ve put in leading up to it.
MAKING THE GRADE
A passing grade (‘competent’) needs to be at least 60% for the
overall course, and you need to get a minimum of 50% for the
final assessment.
If you’re assessed as ‘not yet competent’, you still have a
chance to write one (just one) supplementary assessment,
which has a pass mark of 60%. You must do this within 12
months of your original summative assessment date. We do
recommend that re-assessments are written ASAP, as subject
content will change and it’s your responsibility to make sure
you are aware of what’s changed.
Final assessments are held at ICB-approved assessment centers
around southern Africa.
RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING
Get credits: Recognition for work experience and prior studies:
If you have previously picked up registered qualifications or part
qualifications; Or have acquired solid experience working in a
relevant field then you might be able to get credit for these
towards an ICB qualification. All you need to do is follow the
ICB’s procedure to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning
(RPL).
To apply for RPL you’ll need to submit the relevant form and
pay an RPL administration fee. Submit these along with your
detailed CV and transcripts of any formal registered
qualifications you hold. ‘
The ICB will review your application and offer you credits based
on subjects you’ve already passed, or they may ask you to
complete a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE), which we they supply.
If you wish to accept these credits, you will need to pay
another fee to be granted full or conditional exemptions, and
remember: you must be registered with the ICB too.
