I just become unemployment this month as the customer service, now I decide to change my career path to accounting industry, so I decide to do this ICB bookkeeping course at first, at least, it is affordable and not that difficult.
So I just wondering what can I do after I finish this course, what kind of job I can be looking for, it seems nowaday if you don't have experience, then you can not get into to the business, so what should I do?
ICB isnt the best qualification to be doing if you are looking for employment or as a path into accountancy. The ICB and IAB are best for self employed book keepers.
If you want to be employed and to go into accountancy you would be best to do the AAT. This is more widely known and recognised than either the IAB or ICB and it gets you exemptions from the big accountancy bodies scuh as ACCA, ACA and CIMA. Although you do get some exemptions from these bodies from IAB.
It depends how far you want to go and how long you are prepared to work for it. You can be qualied really quickly if you want to do ICB or IAB but then you are limited in what you want to do. If you want to be quickly self employed and a book keeper that is probabaly the route to go down.
If you want employement and potential yo get into the accountancy industry maybe not.
