I wish to complement Ideal Schools on the quality of the course materials and tutorial/administrative support. I am glad that I chose to study with Ideal Schools as it has provided me with an excellent grounding of the fundamentals of bookkeeping and payroll and has provided me with the incentive to continue my study further after university and train as an accountant.

The courses covered all aspects comprehensively and this, combined with the prompt, constructive tutorial feedback as enabled me to pass 6 ICB exams, 5 of which were distinction.

I would certainly recommend this course study to both friends and colleagues.

Thank you for all your support to Claire in these past months and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to other accountants looking to provide adequate training form new staff. It would certainly be beneficial if all bookkeepers were encouraged to complete this type of training.
