Still doubting? Here’s what previous candidates said:

1. Excellent course content

• “The course helped me to focus and to distinguish between what is really important for the exam and what is not.” – C Gordon
• “It helped me to understand how to answer the exam questions.” – T Moorley

2. A true update

• “It contains the most recent information.” – M Mamabolo
• “It’s easy to understand and has been updated.  I can recommend it to candidate attorneys trying to pass the admission examinations.” – A Pema

3. A confidence builder

• “I would not have been able to pass paper 3 without this course.” – S Flies
• “Wrote paper 3 twice before without success. The third time I passed with Gawie’s help.” – E West
• “Good pass, second time around” – JL Veeriah

4. A real time-saver

• “The biggest advantage is the time that I saved due to excellent course content and presentation.” – JL Swart
• “I could prepare with confidence because I knew what to study and what to focus on.” – R Brink

5. Achieve a good pass

• “I did well in the exam and can recommend the course, because it showed me how to focus on the right stuff.” – A Botha
• “I wrote the ethics exam once before and failed.  Then, after attending Gawie’s course, I passed with distinction.  In fact, I got 92%”. – C Swele
• “Last year I wrote the Ethics Board exam.  I managed to pass with 60%, thank you so much for the revision class, it was of great help.” – T Radebe

6. Excellent bookkeeping and estates

• "Our lecturer, Johan van Stade, were very articulate and engaging.  The study notes are really helpful and I believe few people can teach and explain bookkeeping and estates as simply as he does.  The way in which he explain concepts make more sense when I practice on past papers." - Dante

7. Lastly, consider this truly encompassing recommendation:

• “I attended the class for Paper Three and breezed through the exam!  The class that Gawie presented gave a concise overview of the paper but the gem was the study guide that he provided – one guide that contains every past question with an answer right beneath it presented according to topic – no need to have a ton of past papers flying around all muddled up!  I would recommend this course to any candidate attorney who wants to pass paper three first time around and who does not have the time to print a ton of past papers and rummage around between the memo and the question paper.” – Caitlan Gordon
