Good afternoon

Ito the modules we have registered for, tax is absolutely phenomenal. She is great with explaining the sections of the Act in a very understandable manner and it creates so much clarity. I have watched other tax lectures and this is by far the best. And they way it is broken up into small junks is also very helpful as other lectures which are 1h+ is kind of demotivating. One loses concentration or feel you do not have that time. But none of those lectures I've watched explains tax where you feel you understand more than you remember. I always saw tax as memorization, but now I a lot is easier to remember because the logic behind it is properly explained.

FAC for groups... Took me a while to get into it and initially felt the explanations might be too practical for CTA, more by the book explanations are required, but now after I've done the theory and know it from test 1 to test 4, watching the videos are very helpful and actually made me realize that yes, IFRS has rules, but you do not have to think about it in a strict recipe kind of manner. I see the links better now and understand Carl's way with certain things better. I am only used to Unisa, and generally you can't see other ways if you do not know it is there.

Audit I unfortunately only started watching for test 3 and test 4. Didn't expect it to be so helpful. Printed all the summaries and very excited to watch the videos now as I think it is going to help me a lot more with my understanding. I've always done well in audit, thus didn't think I really needed to worry much about it. But I am definitely going to put in a lot for CTA exams as I think Unisa gives easy marks - I don't feel as if I answer questions properly during exams, but yet I do well. So, just want to be prepared.

Mac I unfortunately just can't get in to. It might be good, but it doesn't keep my attention at all, find it hard to watch. Therefore I can't give a comment on the course.

By the way, I am loving NSOA. I am permanently employed and my marks have improved this year, I managed to pass all modules for test 1 and my average was 58%. Thanks to you guys

"Dear Sally

I would like to take this opportunity, to thank you for the outstanding service received from both you as well as the courier service.

I ordered and paid the DVD set yesterday (18.02.2016) and received the DVD’s this morning at 08:20. (I am located in Pretoria)

The order was received in good order.

I have never come across such good service ! It is clear to me, that your admin processes are very efficient and it also provides me with assurance, that the content of the DVD’s will be of a high quality and standard.

Thank you so much , this is outstanding service, what a pleasure in dealing with you !

Hi Mary and Graeme

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for NSOA’s academic support over the past two years while I completed my CTA Level 1 and 2.

I found NSOA’s structure, tests and resources to be very beneficial and helpful, especially given the fact that working and studying can be quite challenging and requires constant discipline and dedication.

I will definitely recommend the programme to others that I come into contact with.

Thank you to the NSOA team of lecturers. The dvd's have helped a lot in all the modules. One of the best things i got from the series is that it helped me to think rather than memorise. Also, the response is quick and efficient with regard to questions asked on your forum and the assignment questions have helped in leading up to each test. Thank you.

Dear Sally

I just want to thank you and the team at NSOA for helping me to pass CTA (Level 2) this year.
It was the best choice I could make to enrol at NSOA at the beginning of the year.
I am grateful for all the lecturers time and support during the year.

A special thanks to Carl. He is a fantastic Financial Accounting lecturer.
I had to repeat my CTA 3 times because of FIn Acc, and he made it possible for me to finally pass it.

Wishing you all a great festive season and well deserved rest, while we are studying for QE1.

Kind regards

I would like to thank NSOA for the great contribution they have made in my success this year (2014). I got my result yesterday and I passed all my level 1 modules with Tax being the highest.

It has not been an easy year but the NSOA lectures have been helpful providing guidance and focus areas all the time.

All the DVDs have added value but I must say that the Tax lady (Di) has been outstanding throughout. I remember I started watching DVDs after test one. I did horribly in test 1 but from test two onwards I was passing tax consistently with an average of 75% for three tests (T2=68%, T3=80%, T4=78%) - final year mark 68%.

CTA is not easy on your own and the motivation of the DVDs and on the site has been wonderful. I managed to pass all my modules this year with an average of 56% for 5 modules.

Special thanks to NSOA and I am looking forward to the final year with you next year for level 2.

I want to thank NSOA for their wonderful program I would not have been able to pass without it.
It had a big impact on how I studied, how I approached my studies as well as how I approach every test, and that made a very big difference.

Good morning Graeme.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the NSOA team for helping the CTA students.
I have passed 2nd year now and really found that the dvds and student zone helped me a lot.
I would definitely recommend NSOA to any CTA student.

Regards,

Thanks Mary, and to Graeme for a great program. The course really made a difference and enabled me to pass.

Kind regards

Hi Graeme

I passed CTA level 2 and I am 36th in the country overall, I could not believe it. I would like to thank NSOA for all the help during the past year especially with regards to the weekly tests.

Without NSOA it would of been a much tougher battle.

Kind regards,

Hi Guys,

Just want to thank you for a GREAT support progam that you have run through 2013 for the UNISA CTA Level II program.

Thank you very much!

Kind Regards / Vriendelike groete,

"I did the CTA course with NSOA in 2012 and passed my CTA. Wrote the ICT in 2013 and passed as well. Thanks for a very good course. I tried my best to follow the NSOA program and it paid off."

“What an incredibly liberating experience! I passed my supp and wrote the ITC last week… Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful programme and for running it so well too. My lecturers were amazing and even your admin department was always run very efficiently with regards to deliveries and follow-ups. I hope that once I'm qualified and done with my articles, I am also able to pursue a career in teaching and make a difference as well. Thank you again to you and your amazing team!”

“I could not have done it without you. I had failed Management Accounting for the longest time and thought that there was no hope. Now, because I have such a good understanding of costing and management finance, I am finding the board course questions a breeze. Your lecturers turned a mundane subject like Auditing into an interactive subject. You made my dream come true.”

“I just want to thank you for the extra help and papers you organised for me, I'm sure they were part of the reason for me passing this year. I think your programme is a must for any candidate. My year marks were the best they have ever been. Once again, many thanks for everything, I will recommend your programme to anyone doing part-time CTA.”

“I am pleased to inform you that I passed my CTA exams. I would just like to thank you and the rest of the NSOA lecturers and admin staff, I could truly not have done it without your programme and the DVDs.”

“Wow what a year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the continued support and an absolutely outstanding CTA programme. I passed my 1st time obtaining outstanding results and am on the List of the TOP 25 Students for 2 subjects - and it's thanks to you guys at NSOA. I have recommended the Deluxe Programme to many other students and will continue to do so. You guys are absolute legends! Bring on the Board!”

“I did it! I passed! Thank you for the part NSOA played in contributing to my success this year. Especially Auditing. I’ve always found it such a subjective subject. But I actually got the highest mark in Auditing for paper 2, out of all the other papers. That’s unbelievable. Thanks.”

“I passed in the first attempt which made me feel like a champion. But I could not have done it without your assignments, tests, DVDs and contact sessions. It was a tough year but I had an excellent team behind me, pushing me up the hill. I will forever recommend NSOA to anyone I know or speak to. Could you please pass this email on to the lecturers and other team members. You ROCK!”

“I was very close to passing last year and had to repeat this year. I managed to pass CTA and passed it well. The NSOA programme was excellent and I have recommended it to others over the past 2 years and will continue to do so. I found the tests and Student Zone to be the major advantage of this course. Graeme, a special thank you to you for getting me through auditing, my weakest subject. I ended up with 64% for auditing.”

“I managed to pass all of my subjects and would surely not have been able to if it was not for you, Carl, Graeme, Owen and Di (special thanks to her for making tax a favourite to study this year)!”

“A sincere thank you to the lecturers who conducted the various tuitions and importantly those that took part in the DVDs. The DVD programme is an invaluable source of information and an excellent tool to go through the study material with. Without the DVDs I do not think that I would have passed!”

“I passed CTA. Many a thanks to you guys at NSOA, I can't begin telling you how much you helped me. Please tell Graeme, Carl, Greta, and Di that I think you guys are the best.”

“Not only did I pass, but I just found out with the combined marks, I am in the top 25 at UNISA. My average increased by at least 14%! The DVD's and Student Zone is really very helpful and I am so grateful to each of you for your time and effort. Thank you once again, I am the first person and only person at my office to pass (without sups) since 2007. We all eventually thought passing was impossible!”

“This was my second year attempting CTA. The previous year I had no understanding of audit and kept on failing it. This year, with the DVDs, it was so much better. Audit actually started to make sense to me. Also, the motivational DVD at the end did wonders for me! I watched that a few times to motivate myself to keep on studying.”

“I’d just like to thank NSOA for the DVDs they created. It was a really big help and it contributed a lot towards me getting my CTA. This was the third time I've written CTA and at last I've passed all 4 of my CTA subjects.”

“Thank you NSOA for a fantastic year. You guys have given me the support structures I needed for tackling CTA properly. At the beginning of the year, I was wondering if it would ever end and today thankfully it has. My exams were tough but I made a concerted effort to do you guys proud. NSOA gave me a good grounding in all the subjects and the exams were, dare I say it, fair to me.”

“I will be writing CTA in the next 2 weeks and NSOA has helped me a great deal, I feel confident and the lectures put a whole lot of things into perspective. On behalf of myself and everyone else who would have loved to say thank you but just got too busy, I would like to send a great thank you.”

“Thank you for keeping me committed and also refocusing me for that last stretch. It made all the difference.”

“Thank you for helping me to get through the board exam successfully. I can’t thank you enough for the way you encouraged me, the way you highlighted important topics, your feedback on assignments and the helpful advice you gave about how to approach the last few weeks leading up to the exam. As I alluded to before, it really was a tough exam but the fact that we wrote many tough exams in the support programme, gave me a solid foundation and the confidence to craft some sort of answer for those bloodthirsty examiners!”

“I attended the Repeaters Course for Part 2 last year. It was the fourth time I wrote this exam and I was in desperate need of a new approach. The way in which you treat students, the ongoing communication and the great attitude of all of the staff really made a difference. Thank you very much for everything.”
