With the IAC Preparatory Course, Candidates are equipped for successful preparation for the IAC exam by means of a series of online lectures across the key IAC disciplines; content videos; and a library of useful resources to practice and fine-tune their understanding for the final IAC exam with SAICA.

The course will be delivered fully online and internet access is a prerequisite to fully participate in the course.

This course is designed to prepare candidates for the IAC exams in January 2026.

The Course Presenters for each topic will provide academic support through online lectures as well as online group consultations for the duration of the course.

The course has been designed in such a way that it allows for Candidates to study anywhere and anytime, at their own pace – maximising flexibility and time management.

The course culminates with the completion of a simulated IAC exam, which Candidates complete in their free time as final practice prior to writing the actual IAC as presented by SAICA.
