DSR helped me build my confidence in becoming an ICAEW ACA. At times I was stressed, but DSR equipped me with the skill set I needed to pass the exams. The mock exams helped me understand where my weaknesses were and helped strengthen them. It was great how representative the mock exams were to the real exam

I graduated with a Bachelor's degree and was seeking a challenge. I joined KPMG and started the ACA qualification offered by ICAEW through the Forsati program. I joined DSR Professional Training, which was a specialist training center for ICAEW exams in UAE. At DSR, I felt the welcome and support of my teachers and fellow students. DSR has a culture that encourages students to thrive and it's that very culture that has helped me focus on my exams and achieve high results.

ICAEW ACA qualification was a dream for me and I am proud to say that it has finally come true. This would not have been possible without the continuous help of Durdana and Zafar, who were always there for us. I would like to thank my organization Emirates Islamic and Emirates NBD Group along with my leadership team and colleagues for all their support!

The quality of instruction in my online courses was excellent. The instructors at DSR did a very good job, and they used available software to its fullest potential. They always made sure that all students were engaged and on track regarding course work and material. The support staff responded quickly to any questions I had after class, even offering practical help when necessary.

The experience was very rewarding. Due to the support of the teachers and the mock exam setting, I was able to pass all of my exams on the first attempt. The teachers gave us tips based upon their own experience, which we could use when taking the actual exams. Within two years, I achieved what would have taken me much longer without this program's help.

As part of my time spent at both DSR and my qualification, I was able to obviously attain a huge amount of knowledge and the ability to move across different industries from consulting to luxury retail and now to investment banking and I am able to apply that knowledge and everything I was taught inside and outside of class to my everyday working life.

The faculty at DSR is very supportive, encouraging, and very experienced. The smaller-sized classes enable students to get individual attention from the tutor. The teaching techniques at DSR are exam-focused, and the students know what they can expect in the examination. There is an emphasis on student development, especially through regular homework and continuous feedback. Durdana is very involved with the progress of every student at DSR, and she ensures enough support for everyone.

The teaching at DSR is really good and they were so welcoming from the start. I never felt like I was falling behind. The teachers were really accessible at the beginning and even now, if you have any questions , there is an answer. They do not just give you an answer, but also a greater understanding and show they know the technicalities and complexities of the work and material.

I decided to go for the ICAEW ACA qualification after working at Deloitte for just over 3 years. I knew that if I was going to be spending so much time and money on this, it was worth doing it properly and the ACA is certainly the best of the best!
