The Passing Mindset

An amazing day with fellow CA(SA)'s supporting the Boks. A personal favourite of the day was to see a past repeater of the APC exam who had joined The Passing Mindset in 2022. He passed the exam that year, and is now a SAICA mentor and working in London as a CA(SA). He said that he still often teaches others the techniques he learned during the course - sharing the knowledge to those who need it is so important. To meet people who's lives I have impacted along the way will forever be my main motivation (and gives me the biggest smile you can see in the picture).

The Passing Mindset is excited to be sponsoring raffle prizes for the Charity Bowls Day this Saturday in London. All money raised through tickets and raffles on the day will go to the The Yandisa Foundation - a foundation on a mission to change and empower young lives through the gift of quality education. Education and investing in the future leaders of the world is core to The Passing Mindset. The Bowls Day will also have an element of mentorship - another principle that TPM believes in. Tickets are still available, so come join us for a fun day out with London Article Clerks Association, SAICA and South African Chamber of Commerce members! Links to buy tickets are in the post below.

The programme is well underway with the first APC Approach session next week Tuesday, 16 April. The session has a focus on the pre-release period and how to approach the 5 days leading up to the exam. The Passing Mindset is open to first time and repeat students. Registrations do NOT close, as all packages include recordings so you will never miss a session. Register on thepassingmindset.co.za and contact thepassingmindset@gmail.com with any queries.

Last night was the first session of the year, where we heard from Irene Magdalinos CA(SA) and Natali Ferrao CA(SA) on their journeys to becoming CA(SA)'s. They shared what they changed from their first attempt(s), and the key message from both was that consistency throughout the year is key. Registrations are still open on thepassingmindset.co.za If you have any queries, contact thepassingmindset@gmail.com

Congratulations Monet - it was wonderful to see you build your confidence last year. While The Passing Mindset "made the biggest difference on how [you] approached this daunting exam", your hard work and determination was key to your success.

In the SAICA media release relating to the APC 2023 results, the following was noted, "This is clear evidence that more needs to be done to support candidates who are repeating the APC." This is exactly why The Passing Mindset was founded - to give Repeaters of the APC a strong chance at passing the exam and becoming a CA(SA). The messages and feedback received from The Passing Mindset candidates who were successful in the APC 2023 exam has been overwhelming, and a testament that the course works.

Well done Chloë - so proud of you! We loved playing a small part in your greater journey of being a CA(SA).
