Why study with IBTC

Our vision is to be the best college in South Africa because we have the highest pass rates. We might not be the biggest, with the biggest student intake, but we will have the most students passing. 

IBTC STUDENTS HAVE AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE

It’s a combination of factors that enable you to study less, score higher and qualify faster. We start with a detailed study plan that tells you the order in which you must study and when to attempt your progress tests and mock exams. If you have purchased Home Study Plus, you will also have access to online resources. But the silver bullet is definitely our dedicated tutors with fast query turn-around times and programme monitors who hold your

hand throughout the whole journey. We regularly check in with you to see how you are doing and to keep you on track.

The formula to get you exam fit:

To qualify for our Pass Assured Promise, you need to have submitted Test 1 and 2 (from your POE) for our feedback (not to be marked). You should also have attempted your final exam within 6 months of having received your study material. Take the tutor’s comments on board and you’re on your way to passing your exam. In the unlikely event that you don’t pass, you will receive 3 additional months of tutor support and you can again submit progress tests or POE activities to your tutor for marking or feedback. (Note that no new study material will be provided.)

Home Study Plus:

The Home Study Plus option is ideal for students who prefer the flexibility of home study, but who require additional assistance in the form of video learning. With our Home Study Plus option you get all the study material you need to prepare for your final assessment, as well as a USB with video learning. The videos can be watched online or offline.
