Drop those shoulders. Let the worry

lines fade. Smile. Because this is your

chance for a career that’ll give you

stability, stimulation and growth.

A career that opens doors in almost

every sector of the economy.

A career that could see you being

in high demand – even during

economic cycles when just staying

employed is achievement enough

for some.

Financial quali!cations are no longer

‘just for university graduates’.

Times have changed and tuition has

evolved. And "nancial literacy is a

scarce skill. So whether you’ve just

left school or are already working, you

can study towards an internationally

recognised ICB certi!cation and become

a !nancial accountant, an o#ce manager

or learn how to manage the !nances

of a small business.

PRE- QUALIFICATIONS

You might be a new learner ready to

hit the books 24/7. Perhaps you’re a

working mom with a tiny tot, lots of

ambition but very little time. Maybe

you want to qualify in six months

– or you’re working to a secret !ve

year plan. Via ICB-accredited tuition

providers, you can study in the way

that best suits your needs. If only

everything in life was so $exible.

STUDY YOUR WAY

TO STUDY YOUR ICB COURSES

WAYS

Full time at a college of your choice. This is the fastest way to move into, forward or

laterally within the job market. Most school leavers

opt for this route, because they aren’t yet working

or tied down with too many commitments

(lucky them!).

Part time at a college of your choice – after hours, with 4 hours’ face-to-face time per

week. Perhaps you’re already employed, but looking

to upskill and increase your job security – or even

change jobs. It’s never too late and part time studies

can really widen your options.

Video studies are an option at certain

colleges. You can set your own tuition times, and

watch recorded lectures that you simply pre-book at

your college. This is a good option if you’re juggling

lots of commitments and can’t make scheduled,

!xed classes.

Correspondence from home (a good option if you do have a tiny tot). This is the

most $exible and a%ordable route and allows you

to complete ICB studies at your own pace.

You simply register with a correspondence college,

which then sends you the relevant tuition material.

You’ll normally also have access to the college’s

helpline and support structures, so you’re not really

going it alone.

?correspondenceor Face-to-face

With any of these study options,

you have access to valuable online

tutoring or telephone support

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

“As I continue my studies with

the ICB, I really have to say that

you are very well organised.

I love the ICB and I will

continue my studies with you

until the end.

Emmanuel

“I started with ICB by doing

my Junior Bookkeeping up to

Senior Bookkeeping. Today, I’m

a qualified Senior Bookkeeper.

I am currently working for a

medium to large rated company,

have my own car, and a business.

I am even able to do my own

business’s books, thanks to ICB.

I’m now studying towards

my Technical Financial

am aiming for much greater

heights. Studying through ICB

is very simple, convenient,

The pass

mark

MAKING THE GRADESo how are you assessed as an ICB learner?

It’s pretty simple. 30% of your "nal 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 !nal

assessment is added to it at the end of your course.

When you sit down to write your "nal assessment – which

counts for the remaining 70% - you’ll include it in your PoE,

which an ICB registered assessor will then check to see if you

really know your stu%. The activities and evaluations are essential,

as they fully prepare you for the !nal assessment, and also

provide evidence of the hard work you’ve done leading up to it.

final

50%

A passing grade (‘competent’) is 60% for the overall

course, and you need to get a minimum of 50% for the

!nal assessment.

If you’re assessed as ‘not yet competent’, you still have the

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 centres around southern

Africa. You can !nd a list of the centres on www.icb.org.za.

Assessments take place at these centres in February, May,

August and November – see the timetables on pages 22-23

for dates. Colleges hold assessments on-site every month.

REMEMBER,

you can only be

assessed if you are

registered with the ICB

as a Student Member.

www.icb.org.za 17

You will be sent a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) for every ICB subject

that you register for an assessment for. It is a folder which contains

important documents like the Administration Book, which tells

you how to complete your PoE. It also contains important forms

which you must !ll in and submit.

It is YOUR responsibility to make sure you have a correct PoE,

so ask your college or contact us if you’ve not received any

communication from us within two weeks of registering for an ICB

assessment, or if any personal details on it are incorrect.

Start working through your PoE right away – use it to guide your

learning. Read through the Administration Book very carefully

and follow the instructions in it.

At the end of your course, ICB assessors will !gure out if you

know your stu% or not. We do this via a formal exam (summative

assessment) as well as via exercises, assignments and practicals

(formative assessments) that you’ve done over the period of your

course. All the formative assessment work must be added to your

PoE as you go along. This is proof that you have done the work

and understand the subject material. So keep it in a safe place!

When you go to write your !nal exam, you must

hand in your completed PoE. Both your exam and PoE are

assessed together, to see if you are competent in the subject.

WHAT’S A PORTFOLIO OF

EVIDENCE? It’s what your studies

revolve around!

Those are the BASICS but be sure to read over the ICB

Assessment Policies & Procedures

(also on the ICB website) before you start

completing your PoE, so that you’re

100% clear on what you need to do.

18

Perhaps you’ve previously picked up registered

quali!cations or part quali!cations. Or you’ve

got some solid experience working in a relevant

!eld. Did you know you might be able to get

credit for these towards an ICB quali!cation?

All you need to do is follow the ICB’s procedure

for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

To apply for RPL you’ll need to submit our

relevant form and pay an RPL administration

fee. Submit these along with your detailed

ALREADY WORKING?

Learnerships: theory +

on-the-job experience

If you’re working already, you could attain

an ICB quali!cation via a Learnership, which

includes both theory and practical experience.

On the theory side, you undertake the ICB’s usual

assessments and compile a regular PoE -

or have your previous learning assessed by us (see

‘Get credit’ – on the left). On the practical side, you

complete a workplace Portfolio of Evidence (PoE), which

is reviewed by an ICB-registered assessor.

Learnerships o%er bene!ts to employees and incentives

to employers. Some students even get their studies

subsidised by their companies. For more information

download the PDF about learnerships from our website –

or speak to your boss.

ICB BURSARIESMaking studying

possible

We know that some of the keenest and

most deserving learners !nd it di#cult

to pay for their studies. So the ICB makes

three bursaries available every year,

worth R5,000 each. The best part? Our

bursaries do not have to be repaid –

we’d just like recipients to put them to

really good use and study hard!

To be eligible to apply for an ICB bursary,

you must already be studying an ICB

programme or quali!cation and have

a good academic and attendance record.

ICB bursaries are awarded according

to academic merit, !nancial need

and any special circumstances. They

are paid directly to an ICB-accredited

institution and/or other relevant ICB-

accredited service providers.

Frequently-asked questions

What if there’s no assessment centre near

where I live? The ICB arranges assessment venues

throughout southern Africa and a detailed list is

available on www.icb.org.za. If you’re not within 150km

of an o#cial assessment centre, you can submit a Private

Invigilator Application to the ICB with the prescribed fee,

which will be considered on an individual basis. If a new

centre opens after you’ve submitted your application we

reserve the right to allocate you to it.

When are the assessment dates?

The ICB has assessments scheduled monthly for learners

studying through face-to-face providers. If studying via

correspondence, you need to preregister for assessments

conducted in February, May, August and November. It’s best

to register as soon as possible with the ICB, so that your PoE

can be sent to you and to give you enough time to complete

it. Have a look at the assessment schedules on pages 22-23.

Once registered, can I postpone my entry? If, before

your assessment date, you realise you need to postpone your

assessment, you can do this by paying a postponement fee.

This must be done at least two weeks before the set assessment

date. If you need to postpone your assessment because you’re ill on

the day, you can apply for a free postponement (include a doctor’s

certi!cate with your request), which may be issued at the

ICB’s discretion.

How do I register for assessment? Correspondence

learners must complete the Assessment Entry form available on

www.icb.org.za and submit it along with the correct assessment

fee to the ICB, indicating the date you want to sit the assessment.

If you’re doing classroom-based study, you’ll hand these forms to

your college, who will enter your class as a group. All learners will

receive an email to con!rm their assessment entry.

I submitted my PoE but didn’t include all

my assessments. Can I submit these later?

No, you need to make 100% sure that everything is included

in your PoE before you submit it. The ICB cannot accept any

additional materials for marking after you’ve handed it in.

IMPORTANT: Only one postponement per

assessment can be requested from the ICB and

your assessment will automatically be moved to

the next scheduled assessment date.

When will I receive my PoE?

We’ll send your PoE within one week of

receiving your assessment entry. If you’re

doing classroom-based study, we’ll send your

PoE to your college. Correspondence learners

will receive their Portfolios via courier or

registered mail.

I’ve studied similar subjects to the ICB’s

elsewhere and done a bit of bookkeeping in

my work. Can I get credit for these if I want

to study ICB courses? Yes, this may be possible.

For more information, check out the ‘Get credit’ section

on page 18 for Recognition of Prior Learning.

Do I return each assignment once

I’ve done it? No, you’ll need to add it to your

Portfolio of Evidence. This must be completed

and handed to your invigilator on the day of your

summative assessment.

How do I become a Commissioner

of Oaths? If you are a current Technical

Financial Accountant or Financial Accountant

member of the ICB, contact our o!ces to #nd

out how to become a Commissioner of Oaths.

When and how do I get my results?

Results are sent out via email by the exam

result release date (see page 23 for these).

Results are never given over the telephone.

Results for college learners are sent to the college

and if you’re studying by correspondence, they’ll

be emailed directly to you (make sure we have

your correct email address!).

How long do ICB courses last?

They range from 6 months to 3 years, depending

on which course you are registered for.

Each learning area (subject) in the course

should take about 48 hours of study prior to the

assessment being written.

Can you send me course materials

please? The ICB doesn’t send out course

materials – courses are run by our accredited

training providers and they will send your

materials. See our website for a list of accredited

training providers.

Study with the ICB and you’ll need to

register as an ICB Member. In your !rst

year of study, you get membership for

FREE. After that, for a small annual fee

you can post internationally recognised

ICB designations (letters) after your

name for as long as your membership is

current. In addition to the letters behind

your name, the ICB will also give you

a membership certi!cate that’s valid

until the end of the current calendar

year (31 December).

As a paid-up member, you’re able to

update the letters after your name as

you achieve each new ICB quali!cation.

Remember that a “quali!cation” is your

actual NQF-registered academic level

of achievement, while a “designation” is

unique to ICB members and indicates

your a#liation to the ICB, an institute

of high regard.

In most professions, practitioners have to spend a certain amount of time every year

learning about new developments in their sectors. You wouldn’t be happy with a

doctor or pilot who’d let his knowledge lapse, would you? It’s just as important that

!nancial industry practitioners keep their skills current.

One of the main reasons to become a member of a professional body like the ICB

is that it shows you are committed to keeping your knowledge up to date. We not

only send you a very informative monthly newsletter, but also let you know

about workshops and seminars – often free to our members. Many of these

learning sessions award you with Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

points. All our members must complete at least 20 hours of Continuing Professional

Development (CPD) every year and provide evidence of this to the ICB. Visit our

website for our detailed CPD policy and procedures.

DESIGNATIONS VS QUALIFICATIONSYour ICB membership and designation are completely separate

from your academic quali!cation. Here’s the low-down:

What is it?

How do

I get it?

When do

I get it?

What does

it cost?

What do

I get?

What’s the

bene!t?

What happens

as I progress

in my studies?

Who is

responsible?

An ICB designation is a title that shows your level of

academic quali!cation AND that you are a current

member of this professional body. It is represented by

letters placed after your name. E.g. CSBIcb(SA) for

a Certi!ed Senior Bookkeeper. (You can use these

letters only if you’re up to date with your relevant

ICB membership fee.)

The !rst time you register for an ICB course, you

automatically get student membership for a calendar

year. After that, you apply every year and pay to renew

your membership. You might also request membership

upgrades as you achieve new quali!cations.

Your designation as a Student Member of the

ICB starts when you begin studying your !rst ICB

course. After your !rst year, you can choose to renew

your membership.

In 2013, ICB membership for 1 year costs just R430

for students and R470 for all other quali!ed members.

You receive a membership certi!cate (valid for

a calendar year), and the other membership bene!ts

listed on page 25. You can cancel your membership

voluntarily at any time, and you lose it if you do not

pay to renew it each year.

Current ICB membership shows employers and clients

that you actively keep your professional knowledge

up to date and boosts your credibility. (See the section

on Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

on page 24.)

Designations change as you progress in your studies

and complete quali!cations – and when you upgrade

your ICB membership to re$ect these. For example,

a Junior Bookkeeper would likely want to upgrade

her ICB membership and designation from CJBIcb(SA)

to CSBIcb(SA) when she successfully completes her

Senior Bookkeeper certi!cate.

Membership, designations and all member bene!ts

are awarded and administered by the ICB.

When you’ve completed a full ICB course and are

assessed as ‘competent’, you are awarded an ICB

quali!cation. E.g. Diploma: O#ce Administration.

All our quali!cations are registered on the National

Quali!cations Framework in South Africa, and are

approved by the South African Quali!cations Authority.

You are awarded a quali!cation when you have

completed all the subjects that make up the course

and are assessed as ‘competent’. Assessment fees are

often included in college fees; for some other study

routes they are charged separately.

You’re only awarded a quali!cation at the end of your

studies, when you are assessed as competent in all

the subjects the quali!cation requires, or through

Recognition of Prior Learning.

The cost of a quali!cation depends on how and where

you study, how many subjects you take at a time, and

how long you take to complete your course. Ask your

college about their tuition fees. You do not need to pay

a yearly fee to keep your quali!cation current.

You receive a National Quali!cation Certi!cate.

Because you don’t have to pay to keep it current,

it can’t be taken away from you.

A quali!cation shows that you have a good

understanding of particular subject matter. It also

shows that you can apply yourself to a course of

study. And it makes you more attractive to employers.

As you complete quali!cations, you will receive

quali!cation certi!cates. And of course, you can

add them to your CV.

Your tuition and study materials are provided by the

ICB-approved college you register with, for either

classroom learning or correspondence. The ICB

administers all assessments and awards NQF-registered

quali!cations on behalf of FASSET.
