Hi everyone, I've recently been in touch with several training companies with regard to studying the complete ICB career path (levels 1, then 2 and 3 manual and computer) but as much as I read about each companies results and past customers reviews I am still not sure who to train with. I have been a very thrifty chap all my life and see no point in spending more than I should on a distance learning course if I am to be studying almost completely alone. I have several minor accounting certificates already, including basic bookkeeping, final accounts and sage line 50 aquired through Pitman Training, so I have no doubts about being able to work mostly alone, even though almost every trainer so far has what appears to be good support facilities and tutor access. I have finally settled on two training companies, Kaplan and Open Study College. I approached Kaplan since they are recognised by ICB and provide the ICB books. The levels 1 and 2 then level 2 computer (AICB) with Kaplan is just £450, which includes the first years registration and I get Sage software included. I am also considering Open Study College who have recently agreed to match Kaplans price for the the AICB. The inlcuded support and software is almost identical, so I am now looking for something other than the flip of a coin to split them. Would anyone who has experience of either trainer please be kind enough to give me their opinions? Or indeed, any other trainer you would recommend. I am sat ready to enroll right now.
Thanks for reading this rather long winded request.
