CA Connect helped me achieve my goal to pass PGDA/CTA first time, as well as helped me grow and mature as a person. I... thought I knew what hard work, commitment and sacrifice was until I took on the challenge of PGDA - this journey has taught me that my best is good enough, to never give up, to be confident and to let go of completeness. The staff at CA Connect, both the lecturers and the admin team are supportive, caring, motivating and just the best - I could of never achieved the results I did without them, I am forever grateful.read more

Deciding to do your PGDA is such a big decision, and choosing the right institution is so important.I recommend and... support CA Connect a hundred percent. The lecturers are absolutely excellent and supportive every step of the way. Every query you have is answered with the utmost effort and detail.Honestly, this was one of the best decisions I have made and it would not have been possible for me to complete my PGDA if it wasn't for CA Connect.Thanks so much for the team for making it all possible, it was such a privilege to be one of your students.read more

Good day,I just passed the pre-CTA course run by CA Connect/CA online (Milpark Education), headed by Gareth... Olivier.I wrote all four courses at once.If you have any queries/interest/anything at all about the program, please feel free to contact me. You can email me : [email protected] can also chat telephonically ... drop me an email first.I highly highly recommend this program.I have walked the process and its not easy, but it is extremely rewarding.This year I faced a lot of challenges (pandemic uncertainty, financial strains, work pressure) but I forced myself to remain calm and focused and minimize any distractions or excuses. I also had to hold on tightly to my support system. It feels amazing getting through this challenging time in our history with something so useful and something you can be proud to have achieved !Again, anyone needing to chat about this course, please feel free to contact [email protected]read more

Couldn’t recommend CA Connect more. I went from scraping through undergrad at Stellenbosch to getting distinctions in... post-grad CTA with Milpark, and passing ITC first time. I even revisited some videos from first term financial reporting for my ITC exam because they were so thorough. I owe all my successes to this course and the incredible lecturers and management behind the scenes.read more

Doing my CTA at through CAConnect was a large contributing factor to me passing ITC.The Milpark/CAConnect CTA was run... extremely well. There isn't one thing that I can fault the team on. The lessons were structured well, there was constant support, a vast amount of past papers and practice questions, and excellent lecturers.The team was always on top of the COVID situation, and updated us constantly. Even more impressive is the fact that the longest I ever waited to get an email response from one of the lecturers or admin staff was the day after I sent it. Most emails were answered the same day. That's the type of support that students need!I HIGHLY recommend CAConnect to anyone currently finishing their undergraduate degree and is looking to do their CTA.read more

Best decision I have ever made. I completed my PGDA through CA Connect in 2020 and yesterday found out that I passed... ITC. If it were not for CA Connect I think my results would have been very different.I was amazed at how they handled the pandemic. I’m sure it was chaos behind the scenes but to me it seemed like a seamless transition to writing from home. If you have previous experience studying through a distance learning institution this may come as a shock to you - CA Connect actually answer their emails. Game changer.read more

In June 2019 I was registered for the Milpark/CA connect bridging course to get entrance into the PGD(CTA). After... becoming familiar with the course/teaching structure I felt confident that I could get through the PDGA. In 2020 I registered for the PGDA.. and then the world went into turmoil with covid-19. I didn't think with everything that was going on (lockdown, economic recession, difficult analyses and decision making due to covid-19, normal annual and monthly commitments) that I was going to be able to get through the course. The CA Connect team were quick to respond to the crisis and quickly engaged with the students to implement contingencies to ensure we could still write tests/exams. It was difficult and had it not been for the quality of the course structure, the lecturers and support (both from CA connect and the fellow students) I don't think I would have passed. Despite all the challenges and after hundreds of hours of studying, I passed the PGDA on my first attempt - I have to give credit where its due, and CA Connect played a very big part in this journey and helped me achieve a lifelong goal. Thank you.read more

The best PGDA for future CA’s that want to be active problem solvers and adaptable to any situation. There is no parrot... learning in this course. No one test is the same. Very high standard. (I have previously studied through UCT, Stellenbosch University and Unisa.)All topics are built on systematically and there is a strong focus on conceptual understanding. It is expensive, but by far the best PGDA in SA. With the BEST team: from the administrators to the lecturing staff, available on a unique and accessible platform. 5/5!!read more

CA Connect took away my fear of being a CA. Usually we doubt our selfs and our abilities, this causes us to perform... poorly. But with the right mentors and a changed outlook on the PGDA, it's amazing how it can affect your mindset and ultimately your performance. For the first time ever, I can write tests without being terrified. The standard of the course is high and it's hard work. But I'm so happy I made the choice to join the team. It changed my view on education. It changed my mindset. It changed my life. Honestly, best decision I've ever made. Thank you CA Connect!read more

There were a few considerations I Iooked at when making the decision of finding a CTA/PGDA programme. ... The main one was looking for an organisation which wanted me to pass CTA/PGDA and ITC the first time around as much as I wanted to myself. I was searching for ‘the caring element’ which can be found lacking in the traditional system of academia or simply a traditional university. This is probably more important for me and should be for anyone pursuing this year, since it is more a mental battle than academic one at many times, since the battle is won or lost through staying positive and keeping on, keeping on. Most people tend to give up too early on themselves in PGDA/CTA since the marks often start of quite low before we get to a pass, and failure mounts before we can get to pass. One needs lecturers and peer community who reduces this battle. The consults which I have used more frequently than the traditional setting is one example of this support. Lecturers times extend way beyond what normal 8am to if you lucky 4pm consults are at, which surprised me. They also willing to talk about ‘life’ and ‘general’ categories and don’t mind going over stuff. I don’t mind looking silly and asking questions due to personal nature of relationships. There are times when instead of sending me away after I battled with a concept myself and making me battle further, I can get taught like I was at school again, instead of sent away becoming more discouraged, and wasting more time I move forward faster. There are many other tools one can harness as well, and access to many tools all becomes overwhelming, but it depends on what works for you. The lecturers themselves were another factor. They have years (50+) of lecturing experiencing combined. They have marked ITC and are involved in the process. They come from different industry and higher-educational backgrounds and allow me to see how things are done differently all over the Republic of South Africa. It is not trying to force any university’s way of teaching and learning but blending it all to create something new, almost. With that said my digital skills and ability to use technology has improved greatly and fear of it reduced, as I have to engage with technological tools day in and day out being an online programme and this is particularly important to prepare us for the digital world of work which many universities were caught off-guard with by COVID-19 pandemic, and many organizations being and becoming highly digitalized requiring digital skills. I have an edge over peers in the traditional space. The peer community here is international and local covering people in all parts of SA, at all stages of their life, with varied stories. This gives us the opportunity to engage and learn from each other which can be harder or not possible at a traditional university since people tend to be grouped according to academic hierarchies- year 1, 2, by age, maybe field of study, or qualification. The sharing of advice, study resources and help is possible in our digital communities and physically where possible. I also looked for a place which would take a zero-based approach to teaching and learning. This means that they assume you know little to nothing, and then build you up from the basics and focus on what you need to know to pass ITC. This is important to get us all to the same level, since a problem with tests, exams and writing ITC is gaps in basic knowledge for one reason or another which some traditional CTA/PGDA programmes assume to their students detriment, and this causes students to repeat CTA/PGDA, unnecessarily. The SAICA accreditation as a university, the recognition by the higher educational council in SA are also important and the strong links the brand (CA Connect combined with Milpark Education and Stadio Holdings) enjoys with industry tick the box of being able to utilize this qualification soon after to secure employment. I’m happy I chose Milpark Education, also a part of STADIO holdings, a listed company which makes me feel comfortable the qualification and brand will grow from strength to strength. Also that I did this before COVID-19 as we did not have our progress affected when traditional scene did. Lastly, it is important to allow for remote and flexible working, and the lectures simply give us key principles and not waste our time with hour plus long lectures traditionally found. They break down the syllabus digitally and this lets us, access what we need and focus on those bits If we are short for time, in true fashion of other online courses which I have done which is a couple of minutes and no lecture exceeding 30 minutes. The programme is not a traditionally distance one as well (think UNISA- which I have also experienced), since it really has all the elements of contact that I experienced when I was in the contact space. All the content is there. And so it is a hybrid of contact and distance and so contact distance learning online in the strict sense. If you want to chat more. Inbox me. Apologies for the long post- I love to write 🙂read more

Being someone that tried and failed CTA at another university, I was excited about CA Connect as the first online CTA... programme. The team took all stress about how the programme will work, out of the way from the word go. The lecturers are all very involved. The programme is well structured and you never feel lost. It is a large amount of topics over all 4 subjects to work through but the way it is set out it makes it easier to "eat the elephant piece by piece". What helps a lot is that it is not only slides or lessons being put on for you to work through but recorded video lessons where the topics are explained. But what really helped me was for each topic per subject there is a weekly life session by the lecturer where they discuss the topic and it is an open discussion with everyone that worked through that topic that week. So CA Connect don't just give lessons and material and that is where it stay. They really go the extra mile to give support functions as best possible. The lecturers are well trained and they really understand their subject very well. Even through this difficult time of COVID19 CA Connect supported their students all the way. Feeling proud to be part of the first online CTA programme and believe this programme will just grow from strength to strength.read more

The lectures are interesting and well structured. There are various support mechanisms that the lecturers offer, including a 1 on 1 video consultation.The Milpark team are able to arrange a test/exam venue to your closest location, so I encourage anyone who wants to become a CA to join Milpark Education/ CA Connect today.read more

🅘🅝🅣🅔🅡🅝🅐🅣🅘🅞🅝🅐🅛 🅢🅣🅤🅓🅔🅝🅣 I joined the CA Connect team last year for the bridging course(2019) and currently busy with... PGDA(2020).Being situated in Belgium I was pleasantly surprised to the amount of support one receives on this programme. Definitely not just a number as the CA Connect team of lecturers are dedicated and motivated to provide you with world class education, cheering you on while you reach your goal or assisting you where necessary. This programme is easily accessible, from anywhere in the world, provided that you do have internet.It's a flexible course in the sense you study when it suits you. There is a required amount of time each week where you need to dedicate your time to, as each subject has got lessons, examples and practice questions to complete. Lecturers are available should you need to consult (I think they never sleep:-)) and also there are daily classes from Monday to Thursday, a lunch session or evening session, again you attend when the suits your schedule. There was no interruption in the course throughout the entire COVID pandemic, Gareth and his team quickly adapted as if they were always ready for a pandemic, thus we could continue to write our tests and exams. The PGDA is fully accredited with SAICA and provides you with a solid foundation for the road ahead. Would highly recommend this programme!read more

After being rejected at Unisa for CTA (I had exhausted my 3 attempts), I took a risk and applied at CAConnect just a... few days before registration closed...I even wrote an email to Gareth motivating them to give me a chance. Not only did they give me a chance, they changed my mindset about this course and ultimately helped me pass.

Today as I qualify as a CA, I will always be thankful that Gareth and Team took a chance on this girl.read more

Below is my valuation though not exhaustive.- These guys are knowledgeable and enthusiastic.-Their material is well thought out, detailed and relevant such that when you pass their exams, you literally glide and breeze on any challenge ahead, be it board exams or real life/work challenges. - The team is young and the energy of these guys is contagious.-Well organized and emphasize on the big picture at the same time not neglecting detail.-The standards are impeccable has evidenced by their 93% pass rate for 2018 board ( for the class of 2017) which I am proud of.-Very experienced and a number of the lecturers mark I.T.C. Above all the CA team makes you feel to part of the family and made me believe I could!read more

In the end, this is just another postgraduate degree. Right? WRONG. It is you against yourself at the end as it is definitely possible to pass the PGDA. In the end it comes down to how you interact with the material, the contact sessions with the lecturers and staying motivated. The CA connect PGDA assists in achieving this. CA Connect is also shaping the future CA (SA)s. They are shaping our futures to be able to use our professional judgement and common sense and not just to be a glorified accountant. We all chose this. It is not easy. But it is not unachievable. With a great programme as the CA Connect programme this makes it achievable. Wishing all the future PGDA students all the best of luck. You are more than welcome to send me a message if you would like some tips and guidelines regarding my PGDA year and the approach I used.read more

I am a mother of a 5 year old boy, have a full time job and completed my undergrad part time through UNISA before... attempting my post grad.The CA Connect 1 year PDGA programme is challenging however EXCEPTIONAL. Some might think it will be impossible to complete your honours in 1 year and part time- with a family and full time job. I am proof that it is possible- and it is possible FIRST time!!CA Connect give you all the tools and support in order to succeed. I would highly recommend the PDGA Programme as well as CA Connect.read more

This year with CAConnect was by far the best learning experience I have ever had. This is an awesome team of people who... really care, encourage and most importantly teach at a very high standard. Thanks for a great year to Gareth and the team. I really took a lot from this and its almost sad to part ways, but alas this is what we work towards and I will never forget it.read more

I felt so calm, so ready and so focused before the ITC paper. We were well prepared in PGDA for ITC, especially with the Saturday tests.
I owe CA Connect so much, and will forever be grateful for the role they played in my PGDA.
What a dynamic, inspirational group of young professional lecturers who have demonstrated a level of work ethic and commitment which is driven by a passion for what they do. I owe CA Connect so much, and will forever be grateful for the role they played in my PGDA. Their lecturing style, expertise, concern for the student as an individual and their commitment all inspired me to dig deep and give my best.
The one stand-out feature of their programme that I think makes them so special is the exceptional standard of the tests and exams which they set.
I was privileged to have had the best part of two years with CA Connect. The impression that they have made on me will forever be etched into my heart. Their support, guidance and above all their teaching, were important in me passing PGDA.
The one stand-out feature of their programme that I think makes them so special is the exceptional standard of the tests and exams which they set. This really prepares you well for the Initial Test of Competence.
So for those considering joining the CA Connect family, don’t hesitate. I didn’t, and it was the best decision I could have made.
CA Connect always went the extra mile, always encouraging us to improve ourselves.
I will forever be grateful to CA Connect for having the time and patience to interact with us on both an academic and personal level.
CA Connect’s teaching method really helped me in preparing and writing ITC and also to understand the complexity of the business environment. The way they taught broadened our minds to understand why or how certain things are prescribed by the standards or legislation. I will forever be grateful to CA Connect for having the time and patience to interact with us on both an academic and personal level.
