Ideal Schools

Brian has helped so much with my studying. Passed my level 2 and 3 with Ideal schools and currently about to start level 4. Wouldn’t have been possible without the brilliant tutoring and support from Brian and the team.

I received fantastic support from the tutors during the course setting me up for great results in the ICB exams. New course work is posted and received so quickly as I progress through the course. Thoroughly recommended

They give you everything you need to progress independantly at your own pace. Any gaps or weakness in understanding highlighted by the regular assignments are resolved by deeper explanation or direction from the tutors.

I have found Ideal Schools course to be easy to follow and understand. They are always there for you. And would highly recommend.

The lessons are really well explained, each one building on what you know in a very logical way. There's lots of little assignments and tests to make sure that you've grasped everything. The mock exams in particular were incredibly useful and everyone you interact with seem to be genuinely nice people. Thoroughly recommended.

I completed my ICB Level 2 & 3 Bookkeeping and Level 3 Payroll Management courses with Ideal Schools, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The entire team was extremely supportive and helpful throughout my studies, especially Brian McVean, Scott, and Nicky When I was doing the Payroll Management course, I made the same mistake several times, but Nicky was so patient and kind. She explained everything clearly until I fully understood it. That level of support really makes a difference when you’re learning online. I truly appreciate all their guidance and encouragement and would definitely recommend Ideal Schools to anyone interested in studying bookkeeping or payroll. Thank you 🙏

Very quick response to any questions. Very supportive. Cannot fault Ideal Schools at all.

I’ve been studying with Ideal Schools since April and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The tutors provide detailed, thoughtful feedback that genuinely helps me understand and improve, and the course structure, with its clear, well-paced assignments, makes learning feel organised and achievable. Everything is explained in a way that just makes sense, and for the first time, I truly enjoy studying. Ideal Schools have completely changed how I feel about learning.

Ideal Schools is a fantastic place to learn how to do bookkeeping, weather you are just starting out or are more experiances. The people that run the business are very nice and very helpful at every stage of your studies. The tutors that help you with your quieries work hard to help, and also pass along excellent advice, along with their own experiences of taking the exams.

Ideal Schools were fantastic when I recently took a payroll qualification. They offered guidance and support throughout, especially during the times I struggled. My tutor was available to help whenever I needed it and the response time for queries was very prompt.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Tutor Support and Outstanding Learning Experience I’ve just completed my ICB Bookkeeping and Accounts Level 3 qualification through Ideal Schools, and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire learning journey. The course materials were structured, clear, and highly relevant—but what truly made the difference was the exceptional tutor support I received throughout. A special thank you goes to Brian, who was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and responsive. No question ever felt too small, and his feedback was always constructive, timely, and encouraging. His ability to break down complex topics and explain them in a way that made sense to me was instrumental in helping me gain confidence and pass my exams. Thanks to Ideal Schools and Brian’s dedicated support, I’ve now moved on to study ICB Level 4 Self Assessment Taxation Return with the same provider. I’m confident I’m in the right hands again for this next step in my bookkeeping career. If you're looking for a reliable, student-focused learning provider with top-notch tutor support, I can’t recommend Ideal Schools highly enough.

Ideal schools have been fantastic from enrollment and the receiving of my packs, to the completion of part of the course I am studying. I have had great communication from all the team advising of processes and ordering exams as well as timely marked assignments, with fantastic tutoring and guidance from Brian and Scot. They have been friendly, supportive, patient and clear when I just can't seem to get my head around something. There is an easy to follow online dashboard, with templates and videos with all my course information available at all times. The course binders are also well sectioned and loads of practice assignments and mock exams to ensure I have properly retained the information. I have completed my first certificate and still have 2 more certificates to complete, but would definitely use Ideal Schools for any further study I wish to pursue in the future and would absolutely recommend them to someone else considering furthering their education!

I signed up to the ICB training with Ideal Schools after a conversation with Brian. He gave me confidence and his friendly, understanding manner convinced me to take the plunge. The training is excellent with easy to follow material and help and support with assignments and mock exams is on tap when you need it. Perfect

Excellent service from Ideal Schools , very helpful and very quick responses to any of my queries.

Academic materials top notch together with great tutor responses and feedback. However, what stands out is that the whole team go out of their way to assist you.

The learning materials that was provided were very useful and informative and tutors were supportive throughout the coursework. Great offers and good payment plans as well.

I am very grateful to this company. I have already completed the AAT 2 in Accounting course. During the course, everything was just perfect: support from the tutors, quick responses to organizational questions, and timely delivery of materials. This time I had some problems with payment, but the next day I received a call from the company, they helped me order new materials and sent them on the same day. I am grateful for the speed of assistance, convenience and understanding towards students. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I really enjoyed studying with Ideal Schools, all the tutors are friendly and very helpful. The process has been so smooth and I have found the study program to be really motivating.

Ideal schools were extremely supportive throughout my learning journey, studying ICB Levels 2 & 3 Bookkeeping and Accounting. Online videos in conjunction with the written syllabus were helpful, providing illustrative content, making the course easier to understand and offering a welcome variation. The team were quick to respond with questions on assignments and exams, giving patient and constructive feedback where required. This was particularly important for those times, when I hadn't quite grasped the content. Although time consuming, the number of mock exams at the end of each course module ensured that you knew the content well and you passed the exam every time Studying online can be challenging and requires self motivation and discipline. This is made far easier when you have access to a team like Ideal Schools to take you through it.

Really helpful when ever I needed anything, always easy to get hold of on phone or by email and response times were quick. All staff very friendly and helpful.
