Where to study

Study YOUR way: face-to-face or correspondence

You might be a new learner ready to hit the books 24/7. Perhaps you're a working mom with a tiny tot, lots of ambition but very little time. Maybe you want to qualify in 18 months - or you're working to a secret five year plan. Via ICB-accredited tuition providers, you can study in the way that best suits your needs. If only everything in life was so flexible.

Find an ICB-accredited training provider near you.

Four ways to study your ICB courses:

• Full time at a college of your choice. This is the fastest way to move into, forward or laterally within the job market. Most school leavers opt for this route, because they aren't yet working or tied down with too many commitments (lucky them!).
• Part time at a college of your choice - after hours, with 4 hours' face-to-face time per week. Perhaps you're already employed, but looking to upskill and increase your job security - or even change jobs. It's never too late and part time studies can really widen your options.
• Video studies are an option at certain colleges. You can set your own tuition times, and watch recorded lectures that you simply pre-book at your college. This is a good option if you're juggling lots of commitments and can't make scheduled, fixed classes.
• Correspondence from home. This is the most flexible and affordable route and allows you to complete ICB studies at your own pace. You simply register with a correspondence college, which then sends you the relevant tuition material. You'll normally also have access to the college's helpline and support structures, so you're not really going it alone.

With any of these study options, you have access to valuable online tutoring or telephone support from your college as well.
