Year you passed your ITC/IAC with SAICA
APC attempt with SAICA in 2025
From the list below, please tick up to three reasons that you believe most contributed to you being unsuccessful in the 2024 SAICA APC

All our exams/assessment will be venue-based and will be done using SAICA's exam software. 

We will have designated exam venues in:

  • Bloemfontein
  • Cape Town
  • Durban
  • East London
  • Gqeberha
  • Johannesburg
  • London, UK

For Trainees based in the UK and who will be writing at our venue in London, please note that your fee will be slightly higher. This is due to the exchange rate and the cost for venue and invigilator hire.  

If however you are based in the UK and will be writing this exam from home or your own venue, you will pay the fee of R7 000 only.

Information around the exam software and venue details will be shared with you once the repeat offering has commenced.

Mentorship is a valuable asset for both professional and personal growth. Group mentorship, in particular, enhances these benefits by fostering a collaborative learning environment. Candidates gain insights not only from the mentors but also from the diverse perspectives and shared experiences of fellow mentees.

 

Structure:

  • Ratio will be 2 mentors to 10 mentees
  • Allocation of mentees to mentor groups will be done by the UCT Team
  • Mentors will initiate contact with their mentees during the first week of May 2025
  • Candidates are expected to attend the 5 online sessions and complete any preparatory work assigned by their mentors

 

Important to remember:

  • Individual one-on-one mentorship is not provided by UCT for this offering
  • Mentors will not conduct script reviews for the 2024 APC assessment. Self-review and reflection opportunities will be incorporated into the workshop sessions
  • Group mentorship participation is separate from exam preparation. Mentees are encouraged to collaborate with team members of their choice for the exams
  • Potential Funding: Should SAICA/Thuthuka funding become available, participation in the group mentorship will be a mandatory requirement. Accepting such funding will automatically opt you in. (Please note that funding is not currently available, and the opt-in/opt-out decision should be made independently of potential future funding).

 

Please carefully consider your availability and commitment before opting in to the group mentorship.

 

NB. By opting-in, you agree that UCT may share your contact details with your mentor.
  • You need to let us know if you will be paying your programme fees OR if your firm/company will be paying for this on your behalf.
  • If you are paying for your fees, then we will be emailing your invoice to you within 48 hours after you have received your official confirmation email.

Is the financial cost of the Repeat Offering a significant barrier for you personally?
Would you be interested in SAICA funding (partial or full), contingent on sitting for all three exams, participating in the mentorship programme, and potential repayment if unsuccessful in the SAICA 2025 APC? (PS. This is solely to assess the level of interest and does not create any expectations or obligations on the part of SAICA, UCT and yourself, as there is currently no commitment of funding being offered)
