University College Isle of Man’s book-keeping education has been recognised at an awards ceremony.

The college was received a silver centre award at the International Association of Bookkeepers event at the Palace of Westminster, London.

The awards given to IAB accredited centres around the world to acknowledge their achievements.

To be a recipient of this award, UCM’s performance was analysed in a number of ways and specific focus was placed on success rates, length of accreditation and number of learners registered throughout the year.

IAB course tutors Catherine Delaney and Leslie Carroll represented UCM at the ceremony.

Joanne Richardson, vice principal of UCM, said: ’Winning this award is an amazing recognition for UCM and reflects our commitment to maintain the high standard of performance of our students on IAB courses, as the qualifications that they gain from these courses help to support growth in our economy.’

The IAB is a not-for-profit organisation for professional bookkeepers and has more than 10,000 members across 60 countries.
