I am just in the process of completing my Level 1 Bookkeeping and have been overly impressed with the support and material I have received.

“Absolutely brilliant course!”
Written on: 28/04/2013
It has been an absolutely brilliant course and I hope that I pass the components of Level 3. I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to set up a business of their own in bookkeeping and looking for flexible hours. My tutor has been fantastic and whilst no telephone contact is recommended my tutor has been easy to talk to via e-mail. Response to all of my queries has been very fast and whilst not expecting replies to my weekend queries, on nearly all occasions I received one... (read more)

“Let us get started!”
Written on: 07/04/2013
My first impression of Training Link was excellent. I had read the information on the website and before proceeding further wished to speak to someone to establish whether this was the course for me. I was met with a wicked sense of humour, encouraging and willing to answer any question thrown. I would like to recommend to anyone a little older and who has not been in a school environment for a while that the Level 1 Bookkeeping is within anyone's capabilities. It is certainly challenging at... (read more)

“Brilliant for value and efficiency”
Written on: 25/03/2013 by keithlan (1 review written)
I was working with a different provider on earlier exams - I paid double the price, and took double the time to complete similar quantities of study and assignment work. I found Training Link to provide clear and comprehensive workbooks, fantastically efficient marking of assignments, and before I could say 'how am I getting on?' I was ready to take the exam! Outstanding! Looking forward to my next subject. (read more)

Not having done any studying for 40 years I was amazed to find how the various levels from Manual 1 to Computer Level 3 were well structured and for most of the time easy to follow. The course tutor's were very knowledgeable and extremely helpful when I had a problem understanding certain sections of the course. To them I owe them a great many thanks. At the present I have averaged 91% in the exams I have taken. I would certainly recommend Training Link. (read more)

“Bookkeeping Levels 1 & 2 Manual & Computerised”
Written on: 18/03/2013 by PovlChristian
From receiving the first Learning Pack the online support has been excellent with very fast response rates. The information contained in the Learning Packs is clear and detailed without being overly easy - you have to think! Where I did make a mistake the errors were pointed out and explained leaving me to try again. This approach suited me with Distinction passes in both Level I and II manual bookkeeping. When my Laptop crashed during the mock computerised exam Training Link very quickly... (read more)

“Sage Instant Accounts training by remote access”
Written on: 07/03/2013 by mansoorismail (1 review written)
I enrolled my client on sage Instant Accounting course provided by remote access and mail home study course by ICB.

“Level 1 Bookkeeping”
Written on: 28/02/2013 by BryanL
Great course taken in easy to understand stages. Tasks were really good and made sure you understood and took in what has been learned during each Unit. Assignments also great, making sure I received feedback on progress to date. Feedback from Tutor nice and prompt. Time taken to mark the mock exam at the end was a little frustrating although this is probably a bit picky given it was back after 48 hours. (read more)

Great course, had a bit of an issue with my email, but I think this was at my end. Marking was very quickly fed back and any questions answers. Material was easily understood and the labourious element of drawing T accounts was overcome with the excel sheets that were given. All in all a good course and hopefully I will pass very soon.

Written on: 10/02/2013
I found Training Links Home Study really flexible and user friendly: It fitted in well with my availability which varied from week to week; the manual is simply written and easy to follow; my tutor was extremely helpful at all times; it was a great help having the sheets all prepared for me. I do not have a background in finance and at level 2 at times i would have benefited from being in a classroom situation, but when i was confused, my tutor persevered and i got there in the end. I...

“Just successfully completed Level 1 Manual Bookkeeeping”
Written on: 01/02/2013
The training link course has been good to do. It is clearly laid out and systematically tells you all you need to know as far as what and how to record into the various accounts and ledgers. The pace of new information being introduced was also good. The support from my tutor has been good and responsive. I felt the ICB exam I have just done focused quite a bit on subject knowledge not really covered in the course book such as current and long term assets/liabilities. Fortunately, my mock...

“ICB Levels 1 & 2 Manual and Level 2 Computerised”

The work books are set out in an easy to follow format, the turnaround time of marking both the assignments and the mock exams is very quick. The trainers have been very supportive and encouraging. I found The Level 2 Computerised course quite demanding and feel I will need the booklets as guidance going forward as so much is crammed in to the three levels of the course and unless you get to use all the functions regulary, I imagine you may need to refer back to complete some less frquent...

A very high standard of course - always with prompt and precise responses from tutor, Steve Capeling - just as the blurb promised.

I actually 'jumped ship' from a different provider, at Level I, and I would definitely recommend Training-Link to anyone looking to do ICB Bookkeeping qualifications - the quality edged my previous provider (Home Learning College), but the prices were *much* easier to afford, and...

Having attempted to do this course with a different provider I have seen how badly this can be taught. Now moving over to Training Link I wonder why the first college made it so hard and why I struggled so much! This course is very well laid out and although the repeated practice appears arduous it actually enforces the learning until it becomes second nature. It also builds your confidence immensely as you get to check your answers instantly. By the time I got to the mock I was amazed... (read more)
