Testimonials
"I had a Bachelors degree in microbiology and immunology. I realized that science wasn't for me anymore. I wanted to know that what I studied would secure a job. I did the graduate diploma in two years, and then I completed the CPA exam. The instructors prepared us so well. The big four firms recruit through the program and my first job was through one of those companies. Now I work as a CPA in the pharmaceutical industry. The career opportunities are endless."
