I am currently doing my articleship from PWC and I’ve completed my AFC and CAF from PAC and now am enrolled for my CFAP classes. I can say that studying at PAC has been the best decision of my educational life as I was, with the help of my teachers and the cooperation of the management was able to secure 2 Gold Medals and 4 Certificates of Merit. I recommend to everyone to follow the testing system of PAC and have faith in its faculty as this will be the pathway to your success.
I studied Introduction to Economics from Sir XYZ in Special Section last year. The biggest help was the thoroughly designed course coverage plan which never overburdened us. I participated in class tests, mid-terms and mocks exams and that was the main reason why I was able to secure the certificate of merit.
I wanted to pursue CA since I was a child. I joined PAC as I heard it was the premiere institute for CA in Pakistan. I secured an overall gold medal in CAF along with 1 more gold medal and 4 certificates of merit. This would not have been possible without all of my teachers who work as a team to grind the best results for students.
My favorite moment of my student life was when ICAP’s autumn 2018 result was announced and I secured a gold medal in all 9 papers of CAF. This speaks volumes about the hard work and dedication of all my teachers who helped me reach that milestone.
