  • Home Study or Distance Learning?

    Home study courses and distance learning courses are one and the same. They allow you to study from home or at work at times that suit you best.

    Ideal Schools, founded in 1983, is a proven expert in home study teaching, resulting in consistently high examination passes for its students.

    Our continued success is due to two important factors. The first is that our study materials are specially designed and written for each examination subject. The materials, notes and software (where relevant) cover exactly what appears in the examination syllabus and are specifically written for home study. The second, and equally crucial, factor is our personal tuition service. Your qualified tutor will guide and help you throughout your studies until you complete your course or module.

  • Computerised Bookkeeping & Payroll...

    The advantages of the computerised bookkeeping and payroll systems are many. From the saving of time in recording data, to a space saving device, where ledger books or Employee Record Files are not required. The easiness of producing consistent, reliable and structured reports leads to greater professionalism.

    Ideal Schools offer training in both fields, where our tutors are available to offer expert advice when called upon. As part of our training, where we use Sage, we supply fully licensed software that the student can continue to use upon completion of their study. These courses also fully prepare you for examinations with ICB, which are completed from home, and upon successful completion recognised qualification will be awarded.

    
ICB Level 1 Certificate in Basic Bookkeeping £219.00
Diploma in Payroll Management £499.00
