GENERAL INFORMATION - BOARD COURSE
BACKGROUND
The Gauteng Board Course is committed to provide the highest quality of lecture and study material in preparation for the January 2025 sitting of the SAICA IAC. The Gauteng Board course will provide guidance to students and equip them with the necessary skills required for the examination.
The Gauteng Board Course applies a unique approach through guided revision of technical knowledge, which ensures all topics are understood within a bigger contextualised framework. Through over 40 years of Board Course preparation we also acknowledge the importance of skill refinement in order to maximise marks in the IAC.
