The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers is the awarding body that sets and marks the examinations in bookkeeping which the undertaking of a course will equip you to attempt. The Institute itself does not provide courses. The following organisations provide bookkeeping courses that have been accredited by the Institute.
The Institute recommends and prefers that students complete the manual courses before taking the computerised courses.
