Testimonials

“Without a doubt the best and most relevant course I have ever done. I sat my final ACCA exams a number of years ago without having worked a day in an office. I learned off the SSAPs without really understanding what they were about. I have been looking for a course like this for the last 15 years. I think there will be a big demand for this course from lots of people like me who need a full refresher from start to finish.
Will recommend it to some of my colleagues. I never used Moodle before and I was very impressed by it. I had heard about how good a lecturer you were from a colleague, and I have to agree fully with that. Keep up the good work, and if you need a reference or endorsement for this course in Accounting and Business or elsewhere, I would be very happy to give my view.”

Damien Devaney

“The course was great —you always make things seem easy. I feel a lot more comfortable with FRS102 after it.”

Alison Flynn

“I am pleased to have passed. Your course was interesting, and you did explain the different topics quite well. Language was great and understandable for foreigners. Irish GAAP is very different to French GAAP, so I learned a lot.”

Jean-Philippe Stengel

“The course was a brilliant way to get an update on the Accounting Standards. It was a very useful way to fill my CPD hours for the two years with the added bonus of an additional qualification for the CV. I have already used a lot of the technical material you taught us at work.”
James Murphy

“Thanks for delivering an excellent course.”
