Reduced Rates

Photocopies (not originals) of supporting documentation should be submitted to ICB before payment of the subscription fee. Please note that no other fees are subject to this reduction and reductions will not be awarded in arrears.

Notes

1.The fees outlined on this page are non-refundable.

2. Student Subscription covers a full twelve month period. Annual renewal of Student Subscription is not compulsory nor does termination notice need to be given. However, Registered Student access will cease upon expiration of subscription and no further assessments can be completed until the subscription is renewed.

3. Once a Student has achieved the requisite number of qualifications they will have the option of joining ICB as a member at one of the grades: Affiliate, Associate, Member.  Once membership has begun, Student Registration will cease.

4. Exemptions from a qualification will be granted where suitable evidence of comparable achievement exists. An exemption fee is payable in addition to any application fee and annual subscription fee.

5. No designatory letters accompany the grade of Registered Student.

6. Improper use of ICB designatory letters is strictly forbidden.

7. All students and members agree to abide by the Professional Conduct Regulations.

9.Provided there are no changes to your membership grade or the services you require, your subscription fee is fixed for one year from the date of your renewal.
