CA Essentials

Give yourself a head start on your CA Program journey and refresh your knowledge in key subject areas.

Refresh the knowledge you need to succeed in your CA Program subject before it commences by revisiting critical topics and bridging any foundational knowledge gaps.

Set yourself up with solid foundational knowledge designed to give you the skills to excel in your core subjects.

CA Essentials is offered as a one-day workshop (6 hours) on the weekend immediately prior to a subject's commencement date.

Join an interactive workshop where you will be presented with mini scenarios, multiple choice questions and activities providing the opportunity for you to refresh your knowledge of critical concepts.
