TEACHING STAFF

IBC has assigned on its staff dedicated and experienced Lecturers, which include Accountants, Lawyers and Computer  Specialists who have had a long association with the education system and who are capable of identifying weak areas which students may be experiencing, hence emphasis will be placed on those particular areas. The faculty-student ratio is one to ten which encourages individual instruction and discussion-style teaching methods.

CERTIFICATES/DIPLOMAS

In addition to the Certificates of Attendance that will be awarded by IBC for the Computer Science and the Paralegal Training courses, Diploma and LL.B Degrees will be awarded by the Examining Boards concerned and the Universities. 

REGISTRATION/APPLICATION

All students seeking admission must submit an application and a non-refundable registration fee. A registration fee is required each term, except where payment is received for the academic year. An additional fee will be charged for late registration.

It is expected that studentswill have completed a course of study up to and including Grade 10, or preferably be Senior secondary School graduates. Failing the avove, it is suggested that the student enroll for individual private tutoring at IBC.

Students may be considered if they have additional strengths. Alternatively, at the discretion of the Universities, consideration may be given to mature students which will depend on their working experience, i.e. it will be determined more by experience and potential than academic standing.

IBC offers private tutoring at a time which isconvenient to both teacher and students. Tutoring hours are flexible, particularly for students who work shift. Students meet twice weekly with their respective Instructors or they may combine the hours and meet once weekly. Private tutoring consists of a maximum of three students. Every effort is made to satisfy the student's particular needs.

Private Tutoring is suggested also for students taking SAT, College Prep, Mid-Term/Final Exams or any other examinations including correspondence courses.

Provisions are made for students who are unable to read or those who have not had the basic academic training.
