- Earn Your Qualifications Quickly – No need to study for years before searching for a job in your field. After each level you complete, you will receive a qualification. Some levels can take you as little as four months!

How do ICB Courses Work?
The ICB is not a college. They are responsible for marking your exams and authorising your qualifications. They do not offer support or study material. This means you will first have to register with an accredited institution and then register with the ICB. Here’s how it all works:
Portfolio of Evidence
The ICB requires each student to submit a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE). It’s basically a workbook containing all the tests and assignments you did during the course. You will have to hand this in before your final exams. This will count toward 30% of your final mark.
Exams
If you study full-time, you’ll have monthly exams. But if you choose distance learning you will have exams only four times a year. These will take place all around the country, at venues approved by the ICB. Your exams will make up 70% of your final mark.
