FAQs

Ideal Schools (not so) FAQs

 

Q1) How long do your Bookkeeping and Accounting courses take?
A1)
 
Not to answer a question with a question but – how long do you want it to take? We provide an average hourly study time for each course. If the study time suggests 100hrs, and you can spend 10hrs per week on study, you’ll complete in approx 2-3 months. It really depends on your personal combination of circumstance and commitment, but YOU are in control of this.

Q2) Can I trust you to deliver?
A2)
 Yes! But don’t just take our word for it, speak to the ICB or AAT, or see how other students have succeeded on the back of our training and their own hard work

Q3) Is it fun?
A3) 
Probably not as much fun as having your favourite comedian round for dinner, but if your goal is more career (and consequent life) choices then reaching that goal will be great fun!

Q4) Are you expensive?
A4)
 No! Ideal Schools is an award winning training provider, yet there are many who charge far more. Is not ‘value for money’ a more appropriate judgment to make? We have always been secure in the knowledge that we give every student everything they need to make them successful. If you are looking for a new career in Bookkeeping (or just want to develop your existing skills) then an investment of around £1000 is fantastic value!

Q5) Do you offer Fast-Track study options?
A5)
  Yes, but this very much depends on you and how much time you can devote to your study. As mentioned in Q1, YOU control your pace of study and we aim to return course work within 24hrs, where you can continue with study while your work is being corrected, and personalised feedback provided. We have had students complete, for example, ICB Levels 2 & 3 inside two months, while others take longer…..it predominantly depends on your personal circumstances.

Q6) Why should I come to you versus your competitors?

A6)  We listen before we speak – if you are ‘pushed’ into something you will not give of your best, and that means a lower success rate for you. We make sure the course(s) are right for you. We will treat you with respect and expect the same in return. We offer unfettered access to our tutors, which leads to exam success rates that are regularly over 95%. We love numbers, we will never treat you like one.

Q7) I’ve never studied at home before; is it difficult?
A7)
 Ideal Schools have been providing fully tutor supported home study courses in bookkeeping & accounting for over 40 years and our student success rates are exceptional.
