​ICB-aligned Learning Material

ICB offers three qualifications: Financial Accounting, Business Management and Office Administration. Each qualification is made up of specific subjects. Some subjects overlap across all three qualifications, as they cover essential skills that every student needs.

ICB also offers Professional Certificates, for which EDGE Education provides official ICB-aligned learning materials.

ICB uses course/subject codes in their factsheets and prospectuses, while EDGE uses title codes in the Online Shop. These codes sometimes differ. Please use the tables below to identify the correct titles you need to purchase for the qualification or professional certificate that you have registered for.
