Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting Sciences. (CTA Level 1)
Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Accounting Sciences. (CTA Level 2)
We are in the process of developing our support programme in response to the above changes and will update this page as soon as we finalise details.

CTA DURBAN 2012

With over seventeen years of lecturing experience and an increasing trend in student numbers, Graduate Achievers has developed a reputation of providing a CTA support program that is of the highest level of academic excellence.

In each of the last 10 years students attending our part time CTA program were placed amongst UNISA’s top 10 CTA students.

In 2007 3 out of the top 7 CTA students attended our Part Time CTA program.

In 2010 8 out of the top 25 CTA students attended our Part Time CTA program.

In 2010 88 successful UNISA CTA students attended our Part Time CTA program.

Our approach is unique and structured and includes:

Concise, easy to understand summarised notes on important aspects of the syllabus to supplement prescribed material.

A carefully structured question bank which includes basic questions aimed at refreshing a students previous knowledge of the relevant topic and integrated CTA standard questions including previous UNISA and other Universities CTA and SAICA exam questions updated to current legislation.

Superb lecturing which is the corner stone to our success and excellent reputation. Each lecture commences with a highlight of important theoretical aspects of a particular section of the syllabus and follows through with a detailed discussion of fully worked examples.

A weekly study program which guides students on how to optimally use a minimum of 20 hours of study time.

Twenty weekly tests based on the previous weeks work to be written in class and marked by our marking team with subsequent review and feedback of marked scripts the following week. (Students attending Option 1 will attempt the tests in class. Students attending Option 2, 3 & 4 will attempt the tests at home.)

Continuous guidance on exam technique, strategy and approach and strong on-going motivation to encourage the student to work hard and smart to achieve success. Eight Simulated Exams to help students prepare for the four UNISA Saturday Tests and the UNISA final exams in September / October.

2 out of the top 25 UNISA CTA students attended our course in Durban in 2010 - This is what they had to say about our course:

After 17 years of providing a successful CTA program we understand the increasingly demanding requirements of distance learning and our CTA program is carefully structured and geared for success.

Before committing to any of our courses, we urge students to carefully consider the serious commitment required for success at Postgraduate Level and to only book a seat if they are committed to diligently following our program. i.e. Attend every lecture, follow the weekly study program (20 hours a week) and attempt every class test. This was the winning approach of a vast majority of our successful students.

We will provide the following CTA program in Durban in 2012:

CTA LEVEL 1 & 2 (DURBAN)

Our Course in Durban is an Intensive CTA Level 2 program of 24 lecture weeks compressed into 13 lecture days. This program includes a lecture on the important areas of the syllabus and a tutorial illustrating difficult concepts in a simple and structured manner. Candidates will also be required to attempt the weekly tests at home for self – evaluation. The staggered nature of the lectures will enable students who reside in surrounding areas of KZN to also attend. The course material for all our CTA program's are exactly the same. 11 out of the 13 lecture days are scheduled over weekends making it easy for Part Time students to attend.

CTA Level 1 students may attend our course as the only difference is that certain course material may be covered in advance and some of the work covered will not be part of the Level 1 syllabus.

Cost: R8000 payable in 4 installments of R2000 each.

Discounted fee for paying the full amount upfront: R7000.

Due to the slow UNISA registration process in Durban, we have been requested to delay the first lecture by 1 week. Therefore the 1st lecture will take place on Sunday the 29th of January 2012.

 

INVITATION TO OUR STRATEGY SESSION.

All prospective CTA students are invited to attend any one of our strategy sessions. The purpose of these sessions is to provide students with information about our program, to indicate what is required of the student, to outline the approach students take, what Graduate Achievers will do for the student to achieve success, and answer any question a prospective student may have before committing to the GRADUATE ACHIEVERS CTA program for the 2012 academic year.

DATE: Sunday 22 January 2012, TIME: 11.00am - 12.30pm, VENUE: Riverside Hotel and Conference Centre.
