The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) – More about Them
The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) is a Professional Institute and a Quality Assurance Partner (QAP) of the Finance and Accounting Sector Education and Training Authoring (Fasset).
The ICB was established in 1931 with the objective of promoting quality training and qualifications for Bookkeeping, Accounting, Office Administration and Financial Management in South Africa.
All the ICB qualifications are South African-based and are registered on the South African National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and the outcomes are relevant to the South African market.
Registration with the ICB and Assessment Entry
As soon as learners have registered with College SA to study one of the ICB courses, learners need to immediately submit various Forms and fees to the ICB.
Learners must ensure that they are registered with the ICB. Membership Forms for the ICB are available on our website - http://www.collegesa.co.za/downloads. You can choose to pay for your Membership Fee on your own, or this fee will be included with your College SA fees if you choose the All-Inclusive Fee option. In addition to your Membership Fee, you will also have to pay a small Assessment Fee to write the examinations with the ICB. Learners intending to be assessed by the ICB are required to submit an Assessment Entry Form (all the ICB Forms are available on our website, click here to go to them: http://www.collegesa.co.za/downloads) to the ICB. This Assessment Entry Form must be accompanied by the payment of your fees.
Assessments take place in February, May, August and November.
Assessment and Award
The ICB have prescribed compulsory assessments for this course. The assessment is based on the submission of a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) to the ICB which will comprise of 3 formative activities, 2 formative evaluations and one summative assessment.
What is a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE)?
PoE assessment comprises formative / interim assessment of activities (assignments) and evaluations (tests) that count 30% towards the total mark. A Summative Assessment (final exam) contributes to the remaining 70% of your marks. The PoE is basically a file containing all the evidence necessary for a learner to be declared competent against the relevant outcomes.
Important Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) Information:
To successfully complete the PoE, you must first work through all the study material and assignments. So if you register for the exam, without allowing enough time to work through all the course material, you will not be able to successfully complete the PoE. (And for that matter, you will also not be well prepared to pass the exam).
The point being that a well-prepared student will be able to complete and pass both the PoE and exam in time. But if you do not prepare, then you will struggle with both the PoE and the exam.
