Looking for a career you can count on? The IDEAL Schools can ensure your future isn’t left in the balance.

As specialists in home study training, Ideal Schools have helped thousands of people learn bookkeeping, accounting and payroll management skills from the comfort of their own home. Their tailored learning packages guide students through all the main aspects of bookkeeping, including final accounts for sole traders, partnerships, limited liability companies, clubs and societies.

Using fully licensed SAGE software, all Ideal Schools courses lead to industry recognised professional qualifications with the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) and Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT). What’s more, because students learn from home, they gain all the benefits of further education without the need to drastically change their daily routine.

College Principal, and founder of Ideal Schools, Al Vanden Akker said: “Studying from home really appeals to people as they can fit their study around their personal and work life without strict deadlines.

The can also complete their studies as quickly as it suits them. Examinations too are almost all on an ‘on demand’ basis and so the term flexible learning really means exactly that.

As we specialise in bookkeeping, accounting and related subjects we are able to offer the personal touch, which leads to a genuine rapport with our students.”

Founded in 1983 Ideal Schools are leading lights in the bookkeeping and accountancy industry. In recent years their courses and tutorial service has been recognised nationally – winning Training Provider of the Year awards from both the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers and the Bookkeepers Network.

Students at the school have also won many prestigious awards. Only a short time ago recent graduate Mulchand Dubey was named ICB Student Of The Year, while fellow Ideal Schools student Leisa Turnbull was runner-up. Both Mulchand and Leisa have now gone on to forge successful bookkeeping careers in their own rights – all thanks to their cutting edge training.

Al Vanden Akker added: “Over the years I have witnessed many changes within the industry, and here at Ideal Schools we have managed to embrace these positively, to the benefit of our students.

They quite rightly expect high quality materials and we can deliver these in a quick and efficient manner with current technology.”
