Diploma in Self Assessment

A: There is an exam for this course that is arranged via the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB). This is a home based exam that is completed immediately after your studies have been completed. The cost of this exam is not included within the course fees and would be payable direct to ICB at the time of applying. At the time of posting this reply the fee is £41.50.

A: There is no required software for the Self Assessment module. This is a manual based course of study where the student moved through course lessons, attempting progress tests and tutor marked assignments. Our tutors are also available whenever tutorial assistance is required.

A: Hi Penny,

Many thanks for getting in touch and it's great to hear from you again after a lengthy period.

To gain the Self Assessment qualification the ICB require to you have their Level I & II manual bookkeeping qualifications and, I'm afraid, that due to the length of time since you gained your Small Business qualification, they would not grant you any exemptions.

If you'd like to register for these subjects as a single package, please contact our offices for a quotation (0141 248 5200).

I would also say that ACCA would not grant membership with the small business qualification. You would be able to, however, enter their Foundations in Accountancy qualification (FIA) without the need for an entry qualification. You can get details on this range of courses within the "Courses" section of our website.

Please get in touch again if you require further guidance.

Kind regards
Brian McVean
