Assessments

Each module also requires a written exam, contributing 70% to your final mark. This exam, along with your POE, must be submitted to ICB. Assessment Centres are available throughout South Africa; visit www.icb.org to find the nearest exam venue.
You will need to register as a Student Member with the ICB and enroll for the exam before the prescribed closing dates published by ICB.
