Looking to gain a few ICB qualifications? We’ve got you covered. Let’s explore the different qualifications and what they mean. This way you’ll be able to make an informed decision about your studies. Getting started with the ICB has never been simpler!

ICB Qualifications
There are three different levels of ICB qualifications. You can start your way from the bottom and then work your way up. And you can rest assured. These ICB qualifications are accredited and registered with SAQA.
1. National Certificate
This is the first level of qualifications in the ICB programme. A national certificate can lead to earning an NQF level 4. This is equal to a matric certificate. This means that you can start your ICB journey without matric.
2. Higher Certificate
Completing a higher certificate means you’ve received your NQF level 5. This is one level above matric and the second step in your ICB studies. To reach this stage, you must have passed all your subjects in the national certificate.
3. National Diploma
A national diploma is a NQF level 6. Out of the three qualifications, this is the final and most advanced one. Once you finish the programme, you can apply for exemptions. You’ll be able to study toward a degree or you can kickstart your career!
