Our course is composed of 5 easy-to-follow modules. There are 5 tutor-marked assignments.
Students are required to arrange their own examinations and to pay an examination fee. The exam takes the form of a 2-hour Final Assignment which is sent to the student at home to complete. The exam paper must then be returned to the ICB by the date specified. The final assignment comes in booklet form. We recommend that students join the ICB as soon as they enrol on our course, as students must be registered with the ICB in order to apply for the exam. ICB registration costs £45 and the exam fee is currently £20. An ICB application form is sent out to students when they first enrol on our course. Alternatively, a form can be obtained directly from the ICB.
