At Applied Education, our course content is developed in consultation with industry partners and professional bodies such as the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers.
As part of your enrolment in a Bookkeeping & Accounting Course such as the Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping, you will receive a complimentary student membership to the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB).
Please note that this complimentary membership offer can only be claimed once.
"To provide bookkeepers with the co-operative forum to be the best they can be. We’re about bookkeepers: Recognition & Education."
– ICB Vision
The ICB aims to bring certainty to the bookkeeper industry, and all involved and affected by it.
By setting standards for being a certified bookkeeper in the bookkeeping industry, they provide answers to major questions such as:
- What does a certified bookkeeper do?
- How skilled is this bookkeeper?
- How do I prove my bookkeeping skills?
- How do I improve my own bookkeeping skills?
- How do I do bookkeeping better?
- What are the benefits of being part of a bookkeeper professional association?
Institute of Certified Bookkeepers student membership includes:
- Bookkeeper tools and resources
- Website accessed resources for students
- Newsletter for bookkeepers: Specifically designed to guide you in your bookkeeper world
- Urgent relevant updates emailed to all members as they happen
- Regional network meetings: Operating monthly with an increasing number of locations and systemised resources and content for discussion
- Professional indemnity insurance designed for bookkeepers (prices relevant to the bookkeeper business)
- Bookkeeping knowledge-based assessments
