Successful Qualifications Over The Last 5 Years
We are an 87-year-old Independent External Examination Body for Accredited Business Qualifications in Southern Africa.
Our role is to create pathways for students to obtain valuable business studies skills for employment that are endorsed by credible Business Qualifications.
As an appointed Quality Assurance Partner for QCTO (Quality Council for Trades and Occupations), we are authorized to conduct examinations on a number of Registered Qualifications that are on the NQF (National Qualifications Framework).
All our training providers are accredited colleges who are registered with DHET (Department of Education and Higher Training). These colleges offer anything from accounting courses and bookkeeping courses to business management courses.
We have broken our qualifications down into subjects, which are entered and examined individually. The ICB provides a (PoE) Portfolio of Evidence for each subject.
The ICB is not a training provider or a college, which means we do not provide tuition, support or study material. We only do external assessment. Students first register with their Training Provider, and then register with the ICB to receive their PoE.
This PoE includes 3 assignments and 2 tests and is completed by the student during their study phase. Each PoE is submitted and assessed together with a final exam.
Once a student has passed all subjects in a qualification, the qualification is awarded by the ICB and FASSET.
We can proudly say that we have successfully graduated more than 25 000 students over the last 5 years!
