About The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB):

The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers are the largest book-keeping institute in the world, representing and accrediting international bookkeeping members and promoting bookkeeping as a profession. There are many ICB courses which range from beginners through to expert levels. A trainee will normally start at the beginners’ level and take incrementally more challenging tests throughout their career, although it is not uncommon for students to start at a more intermediate level if they already have relevant experience.

The ICB qualifications attained as a result are enormously beneficial in gaining employment as a bookkeeper. Although the ICB provide the examination body, they don’t teach the courses themselves.
