The IAB is the premier body that oversees professional training in qualifications for business. Established in 1973, the IAB now has 8,000 students and members worldwide.
The IAB qualifications are accredited in England by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and the regulatory authorities in Wales and Northern Ireland and are eligible for government funding in these countries."
Whilst the IAB is based in the UK , its examinations are offered in over 80 countries around the world. The IAB examinations reflect the requirements of International Accounting Standards (IAS). In 1998 the IAB was the first UK Awarding Body to offer examinations in Russia in the language of that country and during 2002 the IAB examinations will be introduced into the People's Republic of China . So Membership of the IAB means holding a truly internationally recognised qualification. Click Here For More
We kindly want to remind you that it is your sole responsibility to register with the International Association of Bookkeepers when you feel ready to sit your exam and pay your exam fee, as it is not viable for us to do so, due to the flexibility of our qualifications and the variable geographical location of our large number of students.
You would be required to sit an exam per unit; exams are totally organized by the awarding body – International Association of Bookkeepers; information about the exam fees and the examination timetable is available from their website (http://www.iab.org.uk), however please note that exams are organised twice a year - each January and June and you need to register approximately 3 months in advance. You are also able to download the exam registration forms from the IAB website.
You would need to contact the IAB directly on 01732 458080 and they will appoint you to the nearest exam centre to your location. If you find the centre they suggest too far away – you can enquire with the local colleges and sit the exam in some of them as an external candidate.
Please note that in case you are enrolled on any of our ASET courses - you do not need to do any of the above, as ASET courses are totally assignment based.
