Ready to Test the Waters? Free ICB Bookkeeping Course Taster

Are you ready to begin the journey to gaining your bookkeeping qualifications?
Feeling overwhelmed by the thought of committing to a full course without knowing if it’s right for you?

 

Here’s the good news: You don’t have to dive into the deep end blindfolded.

Training Link; the UK’s 12-time ICB Training Provider of the Year winner, is offering something that could change your career trajectory forever – and it won’t cost you a penny to start.

Why This Free Taster Could Be Your Career Game-Changer

Picture this: In just 6-18 months from now, you could be working as a qualified bookkeeper, earning £25,000 – £35,000+ annually. With the flexibility to work from home or start your own practice.

But right now, you’re probably thinking:

  • What if I’m not good with numbers?
  • What if I can’t handle distance learning?
  • What if I waste money on a course that’s not right for me?

That’s exactly why we created this completely free ICB bookkeeping course taster.

What Makes This Different from Every Other “Free” Course Out There?

Unlike those generic online tutorials that leave you more confused than when you started, this taster gives you:

  • Real course content from our award-winning Level 2 ICB Bookkeeping programme
  • Actual tutor support – not just automated responses
  • A genuine taste of what studying with the UK’s most decorated training provider feels like
  • Zero pressure – seriously, no sales calls or pushy follow-ups

The Honest Truth About Free Bookkeeping Training for Beginners UK

Most “free” courses are either:
1. Marketing gimmicks designed to capture your details
2. Outdated content that won’t help you in today’s digital bookkeeping world
3. Surface-level overviews that don’t actually teach you anything practical

Our approach is different.

This isn’t a watered-down version or a sales pitch in disguise. It’s genuine content from our Award-Winning full course – the same materials that have helped over 10,000+ students become qualified bookkeepers.

No Experience Needed – Here’s Proof

“I was a bit apprehensive as this would be a total career change, so I started with the free trial module. I realised bookkeeping was actually fun and interesting and decided to enrol to become certified. The more I studied, the more I enjoyed it and sometimes it was actually hard to put the books down!…”
