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 have joined CA connect this year for the bridging course towards PGDA. What a rollercoaster ride! The purpose is to focus on the areas PGDA students usually strugle with but the difference is a dedicated team of lecturers which goes the extra mile to make sure you understand the content. You just have to do the time, follow the learning principles. Thanks CA Connect, Your approach and lecturing styles is a fresh look at how to study.read more

What a fresh and new take for an online course! Enjoying the course very much; lecturers are assessable via email, in the live sessions, one on one consultations and are supportive. It’s structured in such a manner that you can make it work for you. Lecturers response super quick and I thoroughly enjoy the live sessions. I am an international student and this has been the best decision.read more

This study method is unlike anything else, the support is amazing, you will never miss anything important and the best part is that I feel more connected to everyone than I did in my previous studies. You can watch lectures at 4am or 2pm, ask questions anytime, you will always get an answer. DO IT.read more

Our lecturers are pleasant and study material is very thourough but not tidious. I have not studied for years now, but I feel like the material is not intimidating at all. Its designed not to pre-empt anything, but gives everyone a fair chance. I averaged 56% on my first tests when I felt really hopeless. If I can do it, so can you. You won't get anything close to this anywhere else.read more

I am a Bridging student. I love that the course is 6 months in comparison to other bridging that are 12 months long. I love that the course is fully online which makes it flexible for me as a working mom. I love how the course is structured, the videos are short and straight to the point and placing emphasis on doing practical activities. The lecturers are very supportive. I love that we are a community giving me the same feel that contact learning would. The course is loaded abd robust, preparing you mentally and psychologically for CTA.read more

CA Connect has a brilliant PGDA program and amazing lecturers. Lessons are given every week for each subject and also some questions. It is a lot of work to work through and not at all easy but with CA Connect it is doable! The support given is amazing if you struggle with something there are a few ways to ask for help even a Skype tipe of appointment with the lecturer! All around CA Connect is a community that helps you get your CA(SA)read more

THERE IS A SPIRITUAL LADY CALLED MAMA, I don't know where she got those strong prayers to help people but she's good!! You know I've consulted with her two times. I remember there was a time when I couldn't get a job, and I called her to see if she could help me. By that time I had applied at my current workplace and they called me so fast without asking too many details I was offered the job yet I was told that the position has many applicants by the time I submitted in my papers!!!! Mama's spiritual prayers helped me to get that job within a week yet I had spent three good years when am jobless!! The next thing she did for me was to pray and I finally got promoted at work!! When I was new, I used to like upgrading and get at least a good salary increase since I had spent three years jobless!! I again called my spiritual woman Mama and told her about my desire to get a promotion!! She told me to let her know anytime when the company announces a good promotion and we pray such that I can get it!! There's my workmate who thinks that I was just born lucky, but deep down inside I know who has contributed to my success, She's called MAMA a very genuine spiritual lady who does some of these spiritual prayers for people like me!! So my writing for this was to at least praise her for what she has done for me, and maybe to pass over this information to anyone who may need it. Thank you CONTACT HER IF U NEED ANY HELP +27631843741read more

CA connect is the best investment ever I made for my education. After failing several times at UNISA I made the best decision to date by joining CA connect for my PDGA , 2017 (CTA) evening studies and passed at first attempt. 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

I started off my PGDA/CTA year in the 2 year stream and repeating. Thanks to the CA connect team of lecturers I managed to finish in one year. CA connect has an experienced team of lecturers who not only help with the academic side, but also go an extra mile to ensure that you are equipped with life skills. I would recommend anyone to do their CTA with Monash CA connect, it is definitely worth your while. I can proudly say I earned my Post graduate qualification but it also came with great qualities that I could have never imagined I would get from a CTA course. Thankyou CA connectread more

Honestly passing my CTA on record time was a miracle considering that I did not do well during the semester! Therefore I would love to encourage everyone who find themselves in the position I was to never give up. I would also love to thank the lecturers for all their support and encouragement and for believing in me. I would cherish all that I learnt this year for the rest of my life.read more

Reflecting on the year with CA Connect, it was indeed a challenge year. I still remember the thinking to myself about whether this was going to be possible. what got me through the year was the assurance from lecturers whom kept pushing me from test 1 until the exam.
When your lecturers believe in you it makes such a huge impact. With CA Connect it wasn't about student-teacher relationship but a family relationship with the each lecturer playing a role in mu success.read more

A great review for a truly inspirational institution:
I have been recently thinking about how my 2014 PGDA year went and a major contributor of the year is the actual mind-set of a student as a whole.
I realised that instead of being right or wrong, it’s more about generating a logical and convincing argument which will influence your audience. I think that many students are stuck in the realm that, "if my answer is not on the memo - it is wrong" attitude. I myself was caught up in this for majority of the first half of my year.
I have noticed that the fear of getting something wrong is much greater than the desire to try get something right with a logical argument. I cannot express to tell you how much the PGDA year has actually taught me to "think" rather than "fear”. Calling this "A Gift" would be understatement. I will be eternally grateful for this.
Any institution can run a CTA program but what has differentiated CA Connect from everyone else is the passion, inspiration and confidence that you all naturally teach with. I have had a lot of feedback from the CTA program at Wits and UJ - and yes, I may have come to Monash as a result of falling on the wrong side of accounting stream at Wits, but I will never look back to that moment. I believe that no other institution can change the way one thinks, plans and learns in one year other than CA Connect.
During my 2015 year as an Academic Trainee at Monash, not only have I seen how student’s mind sets are changed on a daily basis, but by having an opportunity to work with the team at times has really inspired me to reach for excellence.
From my side I would like to thank you and the team for giving me the perfect "lens" to see any situation with. Every student has the ability to work hard - but working smart results from an effective subconscious mind-set. This mind-set is thoroughly thought to student’s day in and day out during the entire year.
So I leave you with this … “Are you doing your CTA year to merely pass or are you doing your CTA year to change the world around you?”

They helped me grow and never to give up on ones dream......Thank you CA Connect!!!!read more

I am a married mother of two boys age 7 and 5 with a full time job. It was hard at the beginning but with the lectures support 2014 was the best year of my life. I came face to face with me. I didn't only pass CTA, I also grow spiritually and emotionally. For the 1st time in my life I studied as hard as spending time with family. If you are looking for balance life , CA Connect is for you. Is not all about passing cta, is about understanding why you want to be a CA.read more

What an experience!!
CA Connect was by far the best career decision that I've ever made! With excellent educators, very good course material this was the best chance for me as a working lady to become a CA(SA).
I have never met people with so much passion for my dreams than at CA Connect. The programme is nothing short of excellence! I would without a doubt recommend this course to anyone with asperations of becoming a CA(SA), not to sugar coat the situation it was the toughest year of my life... But with hard work, a lot of prayer and the best support system (In CA Connect and at home) I finally got to say... I did it! 🙂
Thank you so much Gareth and the team for helping me take this stepping stone in my career! Your passion for the students and hard work and efforts doesn't go unnoticed...read more

The CA connect PGDA is brilliant in a sense that the lecturers really do care about your well being from having mentor mentee relationships, Skype nd email consultations, video lectures etc. The list is endless. Cta is a tough year anywhere in the country but the support at Monash was impeccable. Do keep up the great job guys.read more

I was a part time student for all my life. I attempted CTA through another institution, and it simply did not work. It lacks that personal touch.
I was delighted to be accepted at Monash/ CA Connect in 2014. I urge you to look past the cost if you can - beg, steal or borrow. (Although the auditing lecturers would say ethics, ethics, ethics Pieter!)
The opportunity cost is much higher if you do not make it, especially at another institution. I really have a firm belief that this is one of the best post grad courses offered in SA. The young, energetic and vibey team at CA Connect offered us a very personal touch - where else do you get swift (and I mean VERY swift) responses to questions via either Email, whatsapp, SMS or on Facebook? I am sure that if it was possible, they would send us smoke signals too!
I guess what I am trying to say, is that you will have to search long and very very far to experience what I have in 2014 at CA Connect. At the end it was very close, but I managed to pass with a supplementary exam, and relatively good marks for the rest. By the way - the year marks helped a lot, and other universities do not really offer this.
I take my hat off, and salute the entire team at CA Connect for making what seemed impossible, a reality for me and many other students. It is truly a tough year, and one has to sacrifice quite a lot, but it is completely possible to re-balance ones life for a few months. It is taxing yes, but the future value will pay off and you will most certainly reap those benefits!
It is in a way sad that my journey with them at this time ends, although I am not only moving forward, but also upwards in life by completing the PGDA programme to ultimately become a Chartered Accountant - with a PGDA at a University that is in the Top 100 in the WORLD!
Again, I salute you Team CA Connect!

This is an absolutely amazing programme that is presented by CA Connect. But it's not just the presentation, it is them driving you to drive yourself and them helping, encouraging and assisting you to work consistently. 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
