I'd like to retrain as a bookkeeper and have pretty much decided on The Training Link to do my qualification with. Just wondering if anyone has any idea of how much it will cost to sit the 5 exams. Other training centers include the cost of the exams in their overall package this company doesn't. They've been incredibly helpful on the phone regarding all my other questions but the guy wasn't sure about the cost of sitting the exams, which I'd like to know in case they're astronomical! Unsure whether there's a standard charge for all the colleges or if it differs. Any advice much appreciated.
(I posted a link rather than the prices as don't want people reading this in twi years and being misled).
You were probably talking with Dave at TL. Nice fella who won't try to lead you up the garden path about what the ICB qualification will and will not do for your career prospects.
TL are certainly a reasonably priced training providers for the ICB qualification (don't worry, cheaper doesn't always equate to lower quality).
welcome to the forum,
kind regards,
Shaun.
#1 confirm whether your course includes a years subscription to ICB student membership. Sure it does but worth confirming anyway

Oddly enough it was Dave I spoke to at Training Link and he was great & you're also right in that it's the most expensive college's (naming no names!) that include the exam fee's!
I did the payroll management course with training link, they were excellent! I wish I had done all of the courses with them. They are by far the cheapest and the courses and tutors were really good.
