ICB Levels I, II & III with Sage Computerised Book-Keeping |
Quote:
“ Acting on advice from ICB I decided to enrol with Ideal Schools in all levels of their manual & Computerised bookkeeping syllabus, although initially I considered to study only the more practical Sage Computerised courses to begin my bookkeeping adventure. I do not regret this decision at all because the extent of relevant question practice provided in the manual bookkeeping course materials further backed up with your tutored support throughout the course enabled me to pass all ICB manual bookkeeping exams with flying colors. To accomplish this feat I had to put in much effort during the final revision phase of my studies, but as an old English saying goes "no pain, no gain". Thus, my academic bookkeeping accomplishments with the support of your tuition enabled me to upgrade my membership status with ICB from registered student to full member status with just one year, which is a noteworthy performance for an overseas student. The ICB member status has increased my confidence in pursuing professional accountancy studies with CIMA which I am taking at the same time.
My work is far from over as far as bookkeeping skills are concerned. I still have two outstanding courses that I wish to complete during the first half of 2009 i.e. Sage Instant accounts and Sage Diploma in Payroll. Based on this years' experience, and with the aide of Ideal Schools’ tutors I am confident that I will be able to complete these courses in scheduled time and pass relevant ICB exams at the first attempt.” |

ICB Small Business Financial Control |
Quote:
“ I have now completed my second distance learning course provided by Ideal Schools – Small Business Financial Control, and I have been very pleased with the service offered and value for money. I have previously studied with another distance learning provider and unfortunately did not receive this level of service.
I would not hesitate to study again through Ideal schools, and would gladly recommend Ideal Schools to anyone interested in distance learning – particularly for the ICB qualifications. The study materials are clear and concise, and any further queries have been dealt with quickly and efficiently by the tutors. Also, the assignments have all been marked and returned quickly, with helpful learning points and advice where appropriate.
Thank you for all your help and guidance! Thank you, this course have given me exactly what I required. Being able to study at my own pace was a real advantage” |

ICB Levels I, II & III & Sage Computerised Book-keeping |
Quote:
“I hadn’t studied for a number of years before I enrolled with Ideal Schools to study for the ICB manual book-keeping qualifications. I worked full time and had two young children and did have some concerns about studying again. I needn't have worried as not only were the Ideal School study materials of a very high standard, the quality of tutor support was exceptional. Not only did the tutors provide bookkeeping support they also provided encouragement and useful advice at all stages and all this for a price that was far better than anything else out there. I achieved very high marks in all the exams I sat which obviously were in part down to the hard work I put in myself but were also a reflection of the materials, support and advice I received from the guys at Ideal Schools. I would recommend Ideal Schools to anyone interested in studying for the ICB exams and indeed plan to use them further in future myself.” |

“Loved the course and enjoyed my studies. Would recommend that this is definitely worthwhile for any book-keeper or person involved with sage. Staff really friendly and approachable. Well worth the money, I wanted to be able to start up my own book-keeping business and was advised by another Book-Keeper to contact Ideal Schools. I had no bookkeeping knowledge and so to be able to take me to a full understanding up to manual level 2 and understanding sage within 4 months whilst I worked a 25 hour week in a Bank was definitely down to the quality of the material and the verbal support from Ideal Schools. My personal aim has been totally satisfied as I wanted to be able to write manual accounts, and apply business information onto sage to write the year end P&L etc. This has been fully achieved and I have really enjoyed my studying. I am currently marketing and speaking with potential customers and aim to be earning within 2 months. ” |

“studied with Ideal schools from 2004 – 2007 on the Career Development Course. This included the Bookkeeping and Accounting, SAGE Computerised Bookkeeping and Manual / Computerised Payroll Administration courses. The course materials were very easy to follow, and, as most of the work is carried out on a computer, it never felt like I had to read through pages and pages of text. Any problems I had were dealt with promptly and courteously. I am now a Member of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers and am setting up my own Bookkeeping Business.” |

“I found the Ideal Schools Computerised Book-keeping course to be well structures and easily understood. I was taken gradually through the preparation of the primary book of accounts up to completing final sets of accounts. The assignments also reflected the use of computerised accounting for the small to medium sized company.” |
