Enjoyed the topic about opening a new practice, selection of a niche area and maintaining a positive cashflow to remain solvent, the management of employees, delegation and payment of expenses and disbursements, e.g. counsel fees and also that an attorney must have a fidelity fund certificate and must operate a trust banking account. (Introduction to practice management, GLR PVT School)

The most enjoyable aspect of constitutional law is its fundamental importance in shaping society and governance.  It provides the bedrock principles that ensure justice, and equality.  Analysing landmark cases and understanding how constitutional principles are applied in real-world scenarios can be incredibly rewarding.  Adv. Elgemé Haarhoff incorporated case studies and made the module more understandable by linking constitutional principles to current events and ongoing legal battles, which made the subject relatable and engaging. (Constitutional law, GLR PVT School)

One of the most engaging aspects of constitutional law, particularly as taught by Gawie le Roux, is the deep dive into the foundational principles that govern a nation.  The subject offers a unique blend of historical context, legal theory, and practical application, making it both intellectually stimulating and relevant to contemporary issues. (Constitutional law, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed learning about the application of the Constitution as well as how to draft the various documents required before a matter can be heard in court. (Constitutional law, GLR PVT School)

What I enjoyed most about this subject is its focus on balancing individual rights and societal interests.  It challenges you to think critically about real-world issues like privacy versus security while emphasising the Constitution's role as a safeguard for justice.  The subject’s connection to broader values like dignity and equality makes it both engaging and meaningful. (Constitutional law, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed every aspect of this module but if I had to mention one aspect, it was the practical part. (Constitutional law, GLR PVT School)

In reflecting on this subject, one of the most engaging aspects is how it encourages critical thinking and problem-solving in complex legal scenarios. (Constitutional law, GLR PVT School)

This was such an uplifting and positive webinar, which inspired me so much for the future.  There is so much conflicting information and opinions regarding attorneys selling properties, that it is actually frightening, and I was truly scared of what we may or may not do.  After this session, I feel that the future now holds so much positivity and opportunities for us attorneys with a passion for the property industry.  It will be much appreciated if there can be follow-up webinars for this topic in the future for us to stay up to date on the legal developments.

What an insightful, eye-opening session.  What a game-changer.  All worth it.  Thank you so much, I am now ready to be an Attorney Realtor! (How attorneys can sell properties)

I thoroughly enjoyed the session.  The presenters were not just knowledgeable; they were also experienced.  They offered valuable insights into the law and the practicalities of attorneys selling properties.  I left feeling confident and empowered, knowing there are ways to navigate the corruption in real estate that has troubled me greatly.  I am now starting to sell properties immediately. (How attorneys can sell properties)

This info session was extremely helpful and necessary.  I very much enjoyed the practical approach to the theme discussed.  It was execution-based and not theory-based, although all the critical theory and the law were fully dealt with. (How attorneys can sell properties)

Clear information regarding regulations and the FF Certification. (How attorneys can sell properties)

I've learned a lot!  Soos 'n nuwe wêreld wat ontvou - tot dusver nog nie veel blootgestel aan "Law of Property" nie, maar beplan om volgende jaar julle akte-kursus aan te pak.  Hierdie is aanvullend daartoe en baie insiggewend! (How attorneys can sell properties)

The research put into the presentation was informative, and I appreciated the clarity given by the presenters of the session on issues regarding conveyancers and property practioners/realtors.  Going forward in practice, we are now more informed and better equipped to deal with property transactions, as well as knowing how to deal with all persons involved in the transaction.

The notes were comprehensive, organised and helped me to study and successfully pass my competency-based exams. (Paper 1-4, Zoom lectures & recordings)

Paper 3 is known to be a monster.  In this attempt, I was lucky enough to have my mother pay for GLR's Attorneys' admission exam course.  I found that the videos were particularly helpful as Johan van Stade explained the various topics using practical examples.  Although the syllabus changed so close to the exam, the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law provided as much information as possible. (Attorneys' admission exam courses, Paper 3, recordings)

The Notarial exam workshop assisted with gauging my level of understanding of the syllabus and enabled me to determine which sections I needed to improve on. (Notarial exam workshop, recordings)

The self-study notes contained detailed information and practical questions on all aspects of the syllabus. (Course in notarial practice, self-study)

The self-study notes of the Attorneys' admission exam courses were really self-explanatory and made studying easy. (Attorneys' admission exam courses, Paper 1 & 3)

The recordings were an essential part of my success.  In conjunction with the notes, the recordings were fantastic as Erinda’s practical examples and explanation of the work really simplified it and made it easier to understand. (Course in notarial practice, recordings)

Very well presented. (Conveyancing for secretaries, Level 3 - Bonds trajectory)

It was very informative, thank you.  Melissa is a brilliant teacher. (Conveyancing for secretaries, Level 1 - Deed of transfer)

The course instructor not only refreshed our skills but upskilled us on what is required for thorough preparation for a trial. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys) 

It was very helpful in trial advocacy and because of this course I believe that I am able to conduct a proper trial. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys) 

Dr Willem Gravett is such a great presenter.  I chose to attend this course, not only for the right of appearance in the High Court or for the certificate to be able to convert to an Advocate, but I participated to also refresh my "rusty brains" in the field of advocacy.  I got more than what I needed.  I got more than what I had bargained for, and it was such an experience.  I came out of this course with my memory refreshed and my skills enhanced.  I would recommend any colleague out there to take part in this course. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys

I truly enjoyed the course.  The contents of the course are so valuable and will make my preparation for trial much easier.  I am now more aware of what I must concentrate on, especially during cross-examination.  This course is truly a must-have for any legal practitioner who wants to be a step ahead of the average legal practitioner.  And also want to ensure that the service rendered to their client is more than their best to ensure the best possible outcome. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys) 

I came back more confident of my appearance in court and ability to present a convincing case for my client.  I am now careful of word selection and the moral appeal in court.  My perception that presiding officers remain neutral throughout the trial has been realigned as I realise that it was humanly impossible to do so. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys) 

I am so glad that I chose to do the online classes course.  It was extremely helpful to have guidance and explanations provided with the volume of work that we have to tackle.  I will be forever grateful for Erinda who provided us with lovely tips and tricks to help remember certain parts of the work.  I would highly recommend this course and I am so thankful for the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law. (Course in conveyancing, Zoom lectures)

The course was very informative and the presenter was absolutely excellent; it was value for money. (Civil litigation)

The course was provided in a chronological and understandable manner.  Simplified examples; easy to apply to your work and disputes that arise in your work day. (Civil litigation)

The course was very useful to me because now I understand court procedure and drafting court documents. (Civil litigation)  

Your notes are very comprehensive and are easy to understand.  Case studies are very helpful to consolidate what one has read in the notes.  Past exam questions are a cherry on top.  I am so confident that I will pass these papers on my first attempt.  Thanking you in advance for such a splendid job. (Structured 5-month conveyancing course)

The course is very educational as I am new to conveyancing.  Erinda Frantzen is a very good educator.  I loved her way of teaching. (Structured 5-month conveyancing course)

The lecturer was extremely thorough and helped me understand what I already studied through UCT so much better.  Especially the court systems and the different different laws and when they are applied. (General courses, Module 2)

Every chapter is useful. (General courses, Module 1)

I found all aspects of work presented in a clear, easily understandable format.  This applied both to the written notes, as well as the online presentation. (General courses, Module 1)

Even though I have been working for attorneys for the past 18 years, some of the processes at court itself and certain aspects of the court were quite interesting as I don't get to experience that. (General courses, Module 1)

With the examples done during the live sessions, I found it to be very beneficial and it definitely helps us understand the calculations, etc. a lot better. (Wills & estates, GLR PVT School)

I appreciated the real-world application of legal principles.  The hands-on experience of drafting wills, managing estate administration, and understanding the intricacies of inheritance law provided a deep sense of fulfilment. (Wills & estates, GLR PVT School)

I watched the lecture recordings but I felt quite engaged.  Mr van Stade's humour really made the the sessions bearable.  Very funny! (Wills & estates, GLR PVT School)

The lecturers were definitely the highlight of this subject.  Both lecturers were well prepared, provided practical examples which greatly facilitated understanding concepts and had a great sense of humour!  These types of lecturers definitely make learning enjoyable. (Wills & estates, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed the well structured presentations, examples and the easy to follow step-by-step process for us to draft L&D Accounts on our own, which can get tricky. (Wills & estates, GLR PVT School)

Mr Johan van Stade is very knowledgeable and has a way of teaching that kept me engaged at all times.  It's very easy to retrieve information from memory days after class based on his teaching techniques. (Wills & estates, GLR PVT School)

Johan was great - I have never understood intestate succession better. (Wills & estates, GLR PVT School)

I just want to commend Esti and Gawie le Roux on the service with an issue / hiccup.
Esti was incredibly helpful, composed and listened with understanding to my issues with the videos, a character trait that is too often neglected.  She also called me back to advise on a better view for my computer's resources.
Thank you so much Esti and Gawie le Roux, soft touches make a big difference! (Structured 5-month conveyancing course)

Very informative and detailed. (Conveyancing for secretaries, Level 2 - Sectional titles)

The whole course was so mind-opening.  It helped me to understand most of the things I struggled with better.  In a nutshell, it was so beneficial to my vocabulary.  We learn every day.  I will never forget some of the things I learned from this course. (Conveyancing for secretaries, Level 3 - Mortgage bonds)

Exceptionally informative and helpful.  All questions I had were answered. (Conveyancing for secretaries, Level 2 - Sectional titles)

Totally worth every cent and time spent. (Attorneys' admission exam courses, Paper 3)

Excellent. Time efficient and effective. (Attorneys' admission exam courses, Paper 3)

Johan was great at presenting the two classes, and the notes are good.  Johan answered all our question, and was very engaging.  Very impressed by the detail and attention going into attempting to supplement the notes due to the last-minute changing of the syllabus by the LPC. (Attorneys' admission exam courses, Paper 3)

Structured and very well explained to the point and in a manner that it could be understood to be remembered. (Attorneys' admission exam courses, Paper 3) 

The course was presented efficiently and in simple terms.  Johan is an excellent presenter, making the large volume of information easier to grasp.  I was impressed by the pace and simplicity of the presentation and the addition of course notes allowed for easier understanding. (Attorneys' admission exam courses, Paper 1)

I absolutely loved this course.  It provided the necessary structure in how to get through the course content at least once up until the month where you have to draw up your own schedule for revision.  I specifically loved the fact that the videos were divided into the modules.  I believe the videos being recorded in this manner, provided for the lecturers not to be as rushed and time pressed as in the case of the online classes that have time limits.  The more, albeit shorter videos, provided for more flexibility in one's schedule to get through the content.

The biggest advantage of the structured course is the "pay as you go" method. (Structured 5-month conveyancing course)

The videos and material was super helpful.  I did not use any additional material besides what was provided to me during the 5-month course.  Erinda presented the videos so well and made it super easy to understand.  Will recommend to anyone! (Structured 5-month conveyancing course)

I am very impressed with the course.  It is a good combination with the learning material and videos being available to you for self-study purposes.  Also, the turnaround for when you have ordered, and the actual delivery is very impressive. (Structured 5-month conveyancing course)

Very helpful and insightful. (Course in notarial practice)

Lectures were well presented and focused on the practical litigation of Constitutional matters.  I enjoyed the sharing and addendums of the court documents in the study notes. (Constitutional law, GLR PVT School)

[Enjoyed] learning about different maintenance claims in matrimonial cases, especially when it comes to the two parties. (Matrimonial matters & divorce, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed drafting.  My only drafting experience was only acquired at university which was not even enough.  This subject taught me how to draft a lot of court documents.  Really grateful. (Matrimonial matters & divorce, GLR PVT School)

The drafting in this subject was of extraordinary value.  I enjoyed the process from start to finish and greatly appreciated the opportunity.  I found the assignment challenging but invaluable for gaining a tremendous amount of skills.  The notes in this subject were also well-structured and I believe they will be quite valuable for my future career. (Matrimonial matters & divorce, GLR PVT School)

Ms Elsje Clarke was an excellent lecturer!  She offered great practical insights into theoretical concepts and presented the lectures in an easy-to-follow manner. (Matrimonial matters & divorce, GLR PVT School)

I really have been battling with ADR since university and Dr Dekker made it easier and more understandable! (Alternative dispute resolution, GLR PVT School)

I thoroughly enjoyed this module.  The lecturer is very informed and knowledgeable about ADR.  I am very impressed with the lecturer.  She is a competent lecturer, I knew this before enrolling for the course.  Our labour law guru! (Alternative dispute resolution, GLR PVT School)

[Enjoyed] the structure and information.  I learnt a lot and I believe it will be beneficial in my legal career. (Alternative dispute resolution, GLR PVT School)

 The lecturer is accomplished and study material is awesome. (Alternative dispute resolution, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed how interesting the lecturer made the subject. (Alternative dispute resolution, GLR PVT School)

The lecturer is always well-prepared.  I appreciate that. (Alternative dispute resolution, GLR PVT School)

I liked how it was straightforward in such a manner that the next day after reading the content of the study material, I could actually break down the content in real life scenarios.  In relation to administration, I like how there's so much order and constant reminders on platforms, be it email, Moodle app or Telegram.  It is such commendable work that is put in and the availability during lecturers is 100% the best.  As a trainee, Admin will attend to you like you are the only student they have and that is a great quality for the service given.  Thank you to the team!

I appreciated that the lectures were short and the study material was of great assistance with the assessment. (Introduction to practice management, GLR PVT School)

It was nice learning about all that is required for one to manage a practice. (Introduction to practice management, GLR PVT School)

Amazing and interesting subject! (Civil procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed the exercises where we worked in groups, as this allowed us to put theory into practice and also network with fellow students. (Civil procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

I think the lecturer made it 10 times better.  I didn't like trial very much because I have anxiety when I have to speak in front of people but after Dr Gravett explained that it's not about who can scream the loudest I felt more confident in myself.  He was very easy to follow.  Normally I have to go back and read everything I detail after sessions but with Dr Gravett, it was like knowledge I had known for years because he was so thorough and clear with his explanations.  It was unfortunate when I found out we won't be seeing him again in any of the other modules.  He just gained himself a

The lecturer was excellently prepared for the class.  He was well informed about everyday happenings and the newest updates on case law and law.  The fact that he shared his notes on the examination of witnesses helped tremendously.  The regular breaks helped to refresh the brain.

Beautifully presented, excellent online experience.  10/10.  Worth it. (Civil procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

The lecturer delivers his lecture in a vibrant manner, I was never bored nor lost concentration throughout the 3 to 4 days.  Criminal law is a very complex and difficult module but the lecturer changed my view on the perception I had.  He gave us practical advice on how to go about solving a situation. (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

Interesting and very challenging. (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

As this was my first in-person subject, I truly enjoyed being present at the lectures and interacting with the rest of the students and with Dr Curlewis.  Criminal procedure has always been one of my favourite fields of law and it was interesting to hear the questions and opinions of my fellow students.  As Dr Curlewis was also one of my lecturers at UP, he is a master in the criminal procedure field and I have always admired his skills and knowledge.  The GLR PVT personnel also provided a welcoming environment at the venue and made a lot of effort to treat us with snack platters and coffee

I enjoyed the fact that the lecturer went off script and instead used his knowledge and personal experiences to explain different parts of the processes stated by the Criminal Procedure Act. (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed this subject because it was lectured by a legal expert who showed his passion for law in each and every topic he addressed.  With his mentorship spirit, I was able to understand the practical aspects and realities of law.  He used State of Affairs cases as practical scenarios and gave legal insights that broadened my understanding of what I needed to grasp.  The emphasis on what to expect during board exams was a valuable added bonus.  I am looking forward to the day I confirm my first Section 174; I will find him to celebrate.  (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PV

The lecturer, Dr Curlewis, is extremely knowledgeable in the field of criminal procedural Law, so I really enjoyed his practical insight into the world of criminal procedure. (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

The live class and the study material were well organised. (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

It was presented well and from an expert in his field. (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

The classes were very interesting and informative.  I feel like I gained a substantial amount of knowledge about Criminal Court Practice and Trial Advocacy.  The notes were well-organised, and I enjoyed reading the textbook provided by Dr Llewelyn Curlewis. (Criminal court procedure and trial advocacy, GLR PVT School)

Throughout my interactions with GLR, inclusive of the conduct of all individuals who make up the team, there has been a naturally consistent application of the principles of integrity, ethics and professionalism.  (Course in notarial practice)

Johan providing his detailed feedback from the meeting with the LPC, was very insightful.  Giving us specifics on what to omit and what to really focus on was very helpful.  This has saved me valuable time.  Overall, very valuable session and Johan always bringing his delightful humour on board, makes it very engaging. (Attorneys' admission exam workshop: Paper 3)

The workshop was insightful and it shows that your Institute cares about the students.  Really great notes and recordings.  It helps that we can buy the recordings and attempt it in our own time.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  I am so glad that I found your Institute. (Attorneys' admission exam workshop: Paper 3)

The workshop was very informative and gave me motivation to continue with the preparation for the examination. (Attorneys' admission exam workshop: Paper 3)

The workshop was very insightful.  I trust that my third attempt in writing Paper 3 will be successful. (Attorneys' admission exam workshop: Paper 3)

Johan assisted in our approach to questions, which helps because we do have the material.  We don't need someone explaining the material again and again, we need advice on how to apply what we've learned to form acceptable responses to the exam questions, which is exactly what he's done. (Attorneys' admission exam workshop: Paper 3)

I like Johan's free flowing and easy style of teaching.  It's like having a conversation with him.  I know this session was a short one and not much time for interaction, but I imagine that on the longer course, which I am attending online in a few days' time, there will be more of that.  I found Johan to be very relatable too.  Great job! (Attorneys' admission exam workshop: Paper 3)

Helped reinforce confidence in my exam preparation; that was otherwise daunting given the March 2024 Paper 3 questions relative to the notes, and the last-minute change in the syllabus. (Attorneys' admission exam workshop: Paper 3)

Very good.  Information is conveyed in a very calm way.  Appreciated the candour and humour as well as the explaining in everyday language.  Was easy to understand. (Attorneys' admission exam workshop: Paper 3)

Very informative and nice to know that there are legal practitioners who are sympathetic to our plight. (Attorneys' admission exam workshop: Paper 3)

Die kursus was goed aangebied en was baie leersaam. (Administration of deceased estates – two workshops)

I found the entire workshop insightful.  Case law that was provided was also very great as one can be able to read up about it and be able to understand it better. (Wills - two workshops)

Excellent as always and good overview of the current changes in legislation. (Trust deed – Can it be trusted?)

 I learnt some useful techniques that can be put into practice easily. (The new rules of cross-examination)

I attended this course as I wished to gain a better and clear understanding of how to properly do cross-examination, especially in criminal matters.  During the presentation, we received guidelines on how to approach cross-examination and how to deal with difficult witnesses.  The material provided, will assist me in better preparing myself for future cases. (The new rules of cross-examination)

Melissa made everything simple for me since I have not been practising as conveyancer.  The course is very informative. (Practical conveyancing for attorneys)

Was very useful, especially as I do not have practical experience in conveyancing.  This is really a boost of confidence. (Practical conveyancing for attorneys)

The course was extremely informative and the knowledge I acquired is of great help to me in my daily job.  The fact that I can still now refer to my notes to assist me is awesome. (Conveyancing for secretaries (paralegals))

I enjoyed that the lecturer was clear and direct with presenting the lecture. (Introduction to cyber law, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed the relevance, especially due to the times we live in. (Introduction to cyber law, GLR PVT School)

It was a good introduction to a subject of law which will definitely grow in the years to come. (Introduction to cyber law, GLR PVT School)

I work in the IT industry and I am very familiar with cyber crimes.  I was now able to merge IT and the law.  Enjoyed reading the case law and found some of case law very intriguing and interesting. (Introduction to cyber law, GLR PVT School)

I did not have cyber law as a subject at university, so everything was really interesting for me.  I feel I learned a lot. (Introduction to cyber law, GLR PVT School)

As someone who works in legal tech and handles clients' sensitive information, it was fun to learn more about the legal framework and the importance of data protection.  I also liked how the lecturer stuck to the lecturer notes and did not deviate much. (Introduction to cyber law, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed the practical drafting during lectures to be most helpful and great experience.  Having been afforded the place and time to actually draft these agreements really helped as it provides a greater understanding and practical experience, as opposed to simply ready the notes.  Dr Van Eck was an excellent lecturer and very knowledgeable on the matter.  The study notes were also well prepared and easy to follow and understand.  (Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed everything about the drafting of contracts course.  The subject was practical, engaging, and an enriching experience for young legal practitioners from start to finish.  If there is an advanced course provided by the same lecturer, I would definitely want to attend. (Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

The lecturer was excellent!  She presented the lectures in an easy-to-understand manner, but still covered all the important aspects of the course.  I truly enjoyed this module thanks to her!  (Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

Lecturer conducted lectures very well.  Explained to us slowly and helped us to understand concepts, clauses, principles.  A lot of interaction instead of just reading out from a guide which is great.  Practice examples were a great idea to help us understand and improve. (Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

The lecture was very engaging, and we did questions from past board exams to help us understand the content.  (Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

I liked the exercises as well as the drafting of the lease agreement while we worked through the study material / notes.  I also liked the fact that Dr van Eck did not make her extra notes available simply because I had to make my own notes while she was presenting and it helped a lot when I was preparing myself to write the test.  I loved the fact Dr van Eck was very concerned about whether everyone understands, are still with her, are still awake and following.  Thank you, Dr van Eck for your time and the effort you put into presenting this subject perfectly.  (Drafting of contracts, GLR

This course was so valuable.  As someone doing articles for a conveyancing firm, I'm always looking to expand my knowledge in drafting contracts.  I don't always get the hands-on practical experience as litigation candidate attorneys do.  I've learned so much from Dr Van Eck. (Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

Very practical with tons of drafting exercises.  Our lecturer also presented really well, enjoyed her presentations and including previous board exam questions. (Drafting of contracts, GLR PVT School)

This subject was very in-depth and I found it very helpful. (Delictual & personal injury claims, GLR PVT School)

I wish to convey my greatest thanks to Ms Ilana Zietsman, Ms Erinda Frantzen and Mr Johan Van Stade for all their valued assistance which together with the excellent notes from the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law made it possible for me to pass the Notarial Practice Examination at the first attempt. (Course in notarial practice)

The engagement with the lecturer was insightful. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

One of the aspects I particularly enjoyed is the real-world application of ethical principles to legal scenarios. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

The lecturer is calm and capable.  The study notes are captivating. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

It provided a clear indication of what is expected of us as professionals and will assist in our future endeavours. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

The subject matter was interesting and relevant. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

The lecturer was able to attract my attention for the entire three hours of the lecture because of the emphasis she placed on key ethical guidelines. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

The examples provided were practical and easy to relate to. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

Ethics is not a subject rather a way of life for any respectable individual.  It is a phenomenon easily applicable to all spheres of life and can be used as one's go-by / go-to guide.  The specific legal professional ethics part was very clear and easy to note. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

The lecturer was friendly, and it was easy to follow her during the sessions. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

Ethics forms part of my daily work, therefore it was good to find out more from an expert. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed the practical subject matter as it gave me a better outline of what to expect as a legal practitioner. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

I gained valuable insight or knowledge on professional ethics even though I did the module as part of the LLB curriculum at university.  I enjoyed going through the case law provided in the material. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed that for the first time I aced legal ethics, it was one of my hardest subjects at university.  Had to re-do this subject a couple of times.  Thank you Attorney van Eck for your guidance in this subject. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

The lecturer was extremely coherent and structured.  I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that I could easily follow along in the prescribed material and supplement it as per the lecturer's instructions when/where necessary.  I feel much more confident going into future preparation for the ethics aspects of the board exams.  I also highly appreciated the practical practice questions that were added to the notes so that I could see how the questions may appear/and might be worded during the board exams. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed the fact that the lecturer was quite clear and concise. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

The subject was very well introduced and presented.  I liked how Attorney Karin Van Eck stuck to her preparation plan.  She clearly had a goal and it was to complete the subject by using the study notes, starting from the first page to the last in a well-organised and controlled manner, which made it very easy to follow in the study notes.  She also frequently mentioned the page number she was on.  Her explanations were clear and precise and easy to understand. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

I love that the lecturer is a practising attorney.  She is a person who knows that what the book says is not always the reality.  I enjoyed the practical examples. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

The subject was thorough and was explained in a practical way. (Ethics for legal practitioners, GLR PVT School)

Phenomenal. (Course in conveyancing)

It was really amazing.  The amount of knowledge Erinda has is amazing.  I love her passion for the course and I wish to grow and be like her. (Course in conveyancing)

The course exceeded my expectations.  Dr Gravett has provided me with very insightful tips and strategies for the practical application of advocacy.  It has given me the necessary confidence to run a trial effectively. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys) 

I am a pupil and it has consolidated everything I have learned in theoretical and applied observations of trials.  Now I understand the preparation for trial, techniques and tactics of conducting a trial. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys)

I attended the Course in conveyancing (notes & video recordings).  This was a great overview of the syllabus I needed to cover for the exam.  The recordings allowed me to work through the syllabus at my own pace, which was amazing as I am a mum with three boys and a director in a firm that requires a lot of attention. (Course in conveyancing, recordings)

I attended the exam workshop for the notarial exam presented by Mr J van Stade.  The workshop gave me so much self-confidence to write the exam. (Notarial exam workshop)

This course gave me the boost and acknowledgement that I needed. (General courses)

I just wanted to express my gratitude to Erinda and the team for the conveyancing workshop.  I successfully passed my paper 2 exam and the workshop was a crucial part that contributed to my success. (Conveyancing exam workshop)

I confirm that I passed the notarial practice exam.  My result was 67.5.  Came third in the Western Cape!  Really an exceptional course! (Course in notarial practice)

Dr. Adriette Dekker is a superstar.  I am unable to pick one specific thing I like most because she was consistent in captivating me on the subject.  From the recordings, it was also refreshing to hear my fellow candidate attorneys asking relevant and to-the-point questions.  Dr. Liezl Ball complimented the whole experience so well and is so quick to assist saving all of us precious time.  I never got bored once and the organisation and planning were professional. (Labour Dispute Resolution, GLR PVT School)

Everything was well-structured and easy to follow.  The guidance and swift response by the Admin Team are well appreciated.  Would highly recommend it. (Labour Dispute Resolution, GLR PVT School)

I liked how it exposed the breach between theory and real-life practice. (Labour Dispute Resolution, GLR PVT School)

The subject matter was well organised and presented in an easy-to-follow way.  The lecturer provided ample examples and encouraged participation. (Labour Dispute Resolution, GLR PVT School)

I enjoyed the lecture, I am not used to watching lectures and did self-study throughout my studies.  The lecturer made it fun. (Labour Dispute Resolution, GLR PVT School)

The lecturer was a joy to listen to.  She made sure to keep our attention throughout the classes and was very well-prepared. (Labour Dispute Resolution, GLR PVT School)

The flexibility of the recordings and the flow of the information helped me bridge my LLB theory with practice and real-life scenarios. (Labour Dispute Resolution, GLR PVT School)

I’d like to comment on how well organised everything was during the first subject seeing that it was the first intake.  I’m very impressed as online learning can be very stressful. (Labour Dispute Resolution, GLR PVT School)

The lecturer really presented the subject well and I felt that I gained a lot of useful knowledge that I can use in the field.  The course was not just academic but also practical. (Labour Dispute Resolution, GLR PVT School)

It did [meet my expectations], from a person who has no background in any litigation.  I gained insight on being a skilled litigant. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys)

The course exceeded my expectations.  It was very informative with the lecturer, Dr. Gravett, being an exceptional teacher. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys)

Dr. Gravett has a wealth of experience - and his ability to combine theoretical knowledge with real-life practical examples from his own court experience is tremendously valuable. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys)

It was a very informative course, and the new presentation of the course material was easy to follow and to apply. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys)

I wanted full confidence to appear in the High Court and run the trial, so through this course, I’m now ready for the challenge. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys)

The course in fact far exceeded my expectations.  It will now help me to structure my trial technique in a logical and comprehensible manner. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys)

A course for professionals presented by professionals.  This was truly an excellent study of how to persuade the court to find in your favour.  The core of it being focused on practicality is a refreshing, yet necessary approach to the subject.  I would recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in litigation. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys)

Excellent course; excellent facilitator. (The fundamental principles of effective trial advocacy - for attorneys)

To this day, I still refer to tips from the Gawie le Roux notes and online lectures to guide me. 

The Gawie le Roux notes and recordings were my lifeline.  It made studying easier and it truly made all the difference.  We have many roles to juggle in life... mom, wife, friend, daughter, sister, employee, student, the list goes on.  The notes and recordings help you to effectively study and not drop any other balls.  Thank you Gawie le Roux for enabling me to keep all the 'balls' in the air.

Very helpful and to the point!  Although I still need to put in the work, I am now confident in how I need to approach the exam. 

Amazing, thank you.  Erinda just has a way of making a person understand.

Fantastic course.  Erinda is amazing!  [...]  Overall, I really enjoyed the course at it really helped immensely to build a foundation to the studying!

Informative and simply taught.  I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in pursuing bookkeeping.

The lecturer is easy to understand and very interactive which makes it easy to ask questions.  I am the first bookkeeper in the firm I am hired at, therefore I am starting everything from scratch.  The owners try to help here and there but honestly, everything 'numbers' falls on me.  These particular classes help make sure I know where to improve and what I should completely scratch out.

The course was very well prepared.  It was also presented excellently.  The content of the course is enriching and overall, a great experience for me as a student. Looking forward to the next course.

The course was very well presented.  I felt that there was valuable knowledge for everyone in attendance regardless of skill level.  It's fast-paced but I never felt overwhelmed by the amount of information being shared.  Melissa engaged the class to interact at regular intervals which I felt held everyone's attention.  I really enjoyed it and will definitely have a look at their other courses after completing Level 2! 

For someone that is not yet in the industry, I could follow and understand it completely and it actually made me look forward to work in this industry.

One of the best courses I have ever attended.  The lecturer has excellent knowledge of her subject and field of practice and her passion for the field of law is evident.  The manner in which the course is structured is very user-friendly, even when you do not have experience in conveyancing.  The support staff are friendly, efficient, and professional.  I would highly recommend this course.

Excellent class.  Johan teaches in a way that makes it easy to remember.

It was explained so simply and easily.  I actually feel hopeful going into the exam.  Couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Had high expectations and they were met.

I personally think even the thought of writing paper 3 is enough to give one nightmares, but with the assistance of the notes and of Johan, it gives one the confidence to focus on the upcoming exam. 

Absolutely fantastic.  Johan is a great presenter and the notes provided are so comprehensive that it has made me feel a lot more at ease about tackling the exam. 

This course absolutely met my expectations. It was excellently presented by Dr Gravett. 

Mieke's knowledge and presentation was extremely helpful.  This information is invaluable for us as property lawyers and there is certainly no textbook that explains the examples as well as her precedents do.  My wish is that I could have trained under Mieke.  What a wealth of knowledge.  

Impressive, informative, practical, useful.

I was impressed by the notes as there were some great examples that will assist with drafting in future. 

I would like to convey my utmost gratitude for your hard work in compiling the conveyancing study material as well as the presentation of the online classes.  The day when I received my study material I thought there was no way I would be able to conquer this huge task that is conveyancing, especially with everyone’s warnings of how difficult the examinations are.  I am pleased to inform you that I passed both papers on the first attempt, and it is definitely thanks to you.  I still hear Mrs.

I am delighted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience at Gawie le Roux Institute of Law.  As a student, I have found this institution to be nothing short of exceptional in every aspect.  First and foremost, the faculty and staff at Gawie le Roux Institute of Law are truly outstanding.   Their expertise, dedication, and passion for teaching are palpable in every class.  They not only possess a deep understanding of their respective fields but also have an uncanny ability to convey complex concepts in a clear and engaging manner.  The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, offering a ba

I wanted to let you know that I passed the conveyancing exam on my first try.  I did the video lectures at my own pace as I worked full time and then did the exam workshop to finish off the last questions I had. (It was really of great assistance.)  Thank you for all your assistance with the conveyancing course and for making a mountain of work easy to take in. 
 

I purchased the study packs for all four papers of the attorneys' admission examinations.  I wrote for the first time in August 2023.   All four papers and passed all in one sitting.  I am pleased to say that I am the only person in the Eastern Cape who wrote and passed all four papers.
 

The presentation was well executed, and even the notes we received were clear and detailed.

Very well explained and informative.  The practical side of notes were always well discussed.

Well prepared notes and presentation on subjects not dealt with on a daily basis.

Notes are well set out and Jody explained difficult concepts very clearly.  I always enjoy when the notes are backed up by real-life examples.

The presentation was practically of extreme value to writer hereof, specifically with regards to all aspects of ECTA so explained; the influence on various statutory requirements; and the implementation and usage of various aspects of electronic means within our practice.  Mr. Koornhof was well versed, well prepared and kept my attention.  Excellent webinar. 

I attended the class for Paper Three and breezed through the exam!  The class that Gawie presented gave a concise overview of the paper but the gem was the study guide that he provided – one guide that contains every past question with an answer right beneath it presented according to topic – no need to have a ton of past papers flying around all muddled up!  I would recommend this course to any candidate attorney who wants to pass paper three the first time around and who does not have the time to print a ton of past papers and rummage around between the memo and the question paper.

Our lecturer, Johan van Stade, were very articulate and engaging.  The study notes are really helpful and I believe few people can teach and explain bookkeeping and estates as simply as he does.  The way in which he explained concepts made more sense when I practiced on past papers.

Last year I wrote the Ethics Board exam.  I managed to pass with 60%, thank you so much for the revision class, it was of great help.

I wrote the ethics exam once before and failed.  Then, after attending Gawie’s course, I passed with distinction.  In fact, I got 92%.

I did well in the exam and can recommend the course, because it showed me how to focus on the right stuff.

I could prepare with confidence because I knew what to study and what to focus on.

The biggest advantage is the time that I saved due to excellent course content and presentation.

Good pass, second time around.

Wrote paper 3 twice before without success. The third time I passed with Gawie’s help.

I would not have been able to pass paper 3 without this course.

It’s easy to understand and has been updated.  I can recommend it to candidate attorneys trying to pass the admission examinations.

It contains the most recent information.

It helped me to understand how to answer the exam questions.

The course helped me to focus and to distinguish between what is really important for the exam and what is not.

Excellent workshop! Going through the questions with Erinda helped me to understand how to dissect and answer the questions and apply the book knowledge. Erinda is so knowledgeable and the course is so well presented! Thank you.

The questions and model answers provided were very helpful. It was very helpful that Erinda identified important questions and answers, as this saves time by ensuring that you cover the basics without repeating questions and answers.

Very helpful! Erinda explained everything really well and gave useful tips for the paper.

Very insightful. Erinda is an excellent lecturer. Would definitely recommend both the full course as well as the workshop.

I purchased the conveyancing notes last year, without attending the classes or workshops and passed on the first try.  Your notes are very comprehensive and easy to understand.  Well done on that!

My top takeaway from this course was just how straightforward everything was.  Conveyancing is by no means easy, however, I found the course material and lectures to be incredibly accessible and approachable even with my lack of experience.  I look forward to using the manuals and notes provided as I continue to further my training and I intend on using the experience I have gained to find employment.

Dit was baie insiggewend en so interessant.  Melissa is regtig 'n goeie leermeester met 'n groot passie vir wat sy doen, mens sien dit deur haar straal wanneer sy praat. 

I do not regret it a bit, learned so much, ... you won't believe the confidence I have gained from this course.  I know the Acts and the reason why we do certain things and what is expected of us at Deeds to avoid rejections.  Melissa is great and Henriette too!

Absolutely worth every penny!  The self-study notes alone are extremely helpful, I initially thought I wouldn't need to attend the classes but eventually opted to enroll.  Erinda is so knowledgeable in conveyancing that she made even the impossible-to-understand sections come alive. (Google Review)

Erinda’s teaching style is engaging, light-hearted, and very fun.  Erinda took abstract legal concepts and broke them down into bite-sized pieces by using real-world examples and explaining how it translates to actual rands and cents.  It’s easy to see that she truly wants her learners to do well and that this is her passion.  There is no secret to passing notaries and conveyancing: study and put in the time.  That much has always been clear.  But I believe that with the Gawie le Roux self-study notes and preferably the lectures too, your odds of passing are dramatically improved. 

I must extend my sincere thanks to Erinda Frantzen & Gawie le Roux Institute of Law.  I truly enjoyed listening to Erinda and most definitely benefited from her breadth of knowledge and experience.  I am grateful for the clear and effective way she presented each lecture.  Thank you Erinda Frantzen.

The course was highly educational and extremely interactive.  We were able to grasp concepts through practical examples which I believe we will remember in practice forever.  The course allowed each one of us to develop and expand on our own advocacy styles.  Definitely worth every cent and highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve their advocacy skills.

The course is very well presented.  The course notes are also informative and a great tool to use.

Very informative and specific guidelines for any notary to use.

Very informative and the details about applying rule 63 was useful.

Very insightful and helpful in practice.

It was very informative. Thank you for the examples and detailed explanation. I never had any notarial training done in so much depth.

Very helpful. The notes were informative and complete.

It was very informative because the presenter used practical examples, and provided some valuable information.

Excellent! The practical aspect of the subject was well covered.

Great manual to refer back to with lots of practical info.

Excellent, the presenter was well informed and knowledgeable in the field. I would definitely recommend to any person preparing for the notarial exam.

Amazing, quite informative.

Very good.  A colossal amount of information, but presented very well by Erinda Frantzen.  She really knows her stuff!

I was at first a bit worried.  Let's be honest it is a lot of money, especially on a candidate attorney's salary.  But I am truly blown away by the course and the way it was presented.  Erinda is amazing and has made such a difference, especially where I have absolutely ZERO experience in conveyancing.  The value that is added, the classes, notes and all the extra information, assistance and everything that has been received is absolutely amazing and I am so grateful to have been able to attend the course.  I will always recommend Gawie le Roux to anyone after my experience.

The course was really helpful.  Erinda was excellent in explaining and breaking down the material and was clearly very knowledgeable about the topics.  I will be seeing you soon for the conveyancing course after I write the notary exam.  Thank you.

This course is very thorough and insightful.  The lecturer is such a delight and answers all your questions.  The notes we received are enough and make studying so much easier/less stressful.

It was extremely informative and without a doubt beneficial to my preparation for the notarial practice examinations.  The notes are very comprehensive and Ms Frantzen is an excellent presenter.  Thank you Gawie le Roux Institute of Law.

Very well presented.  Really makes sometimes complicated topics or scenarios much easier to understand and work through practically.

Simple language and examples were used to understand the differences between when to implement an action or application matter.

It was quite informative, always learn something new from the way a person delivers a lesson.

My overall impression of the course was very informative.  The way in which things were explained was simple and easy to understand.  I would recommend this course to anyone who is wanting a better understanding in their legal career.

Thank you to the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law.  After 3 unsuccessful attempts at passing the conveyancing exam on my own, I attended the online conveyancing exam course with Erinda Frantzen and have passed.

The webinar gives a good grounding on the practical application of the ECTA.  Pieter Koornhof is an absolutely brilliant lecturer – he explained everything in an interesting and engaging way, despite the subject matter having the propensity to be ‘dry'.

I attended the GLR online Notary course and the pre-examination preparation course hoping that some of Erinda’s magic would rub off on me. Notwithstanding the fact that I would have been content to just pass the exam, somehow some of that magic and the wonderful way in which the material was presented assisted not only in ensuring that I passed the exam but also achieving an exceptionally high mark. I am humbled by the professionalism, kindness, passion, expertise, and knowledge for not only the Notary work but the Law in general that the whole Gawie Le Roux team possesses.

I did Paper 1 and 3 revision classes with you for the August examinations I did 5th best in the Northern Cape with Paper 1 and was the only one to pass Paper 3. Johan explained the material very well and in a way that is understandable - you actually learn to understand and not to memorise/cram for exam purposes. 

I will definitely recommend your courses/classes to everyone who is preparing to write the exams. Thank you! 

I write this email in excitement and awe! I attended the notary class in August 2022 and I took a chance and wrote the notary exam. I don't have any experience or knowledge in notarial practice but with the assistance of the team at the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law and especially Erinda's patience I was able to pass the exam on my first attempt. 

This is not my first time attending classes and getting materials from Gawie, I used the same material for board exams and also passed on my first attempt. 

I joined the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law, when I first commenced my articles in 2021 at Adams & Adams. We were told left, right, and center that the board exams would be the end of your law career. Hence, I decided to join the institute. With the study notes and materials from the institute all my attorneys’ exams were just a breeze in the ocean. I decided to register for the conveyancing exam as well. I bought and used the study notes and materials from the institute again, I passed both paper 1 and paper 2 conveyancing on my first attempt.

Very informative. Gave us a good foundation for various stages of contracting in the engineering and construction fields.

Enjoyable and informative. I'm looking forward to the rest of the courses I've signed up for thanks to yesterday's introduction.

It was very insightful. I know nothing about the industry so all the information was useful.

I found the presentation and the content of this webinar very informative and easy to follow.

First, I want to say it was wonderful to attend a course that is in my language, Afrikaans. I also appreciate the fact that the Professor spoke to us and that she didn't read the notes to us. I really enjoyed the lesson today.

Prof Linda het die inhoud baie goed verduidelik. Ek het geen kennis van die reg nie en ek het verstaan wat moet gebeur.

Very helpful, clear and concise presentation.

I found it very informative and the manual was very easy to understand.

I really enjoyed the course and Johan's informal fun approach to presenting the material. Looking forward to the rest of the course.

I enjoyed it. It was understandable and I really enjoyed the examples that were used.

Overall well presented and covered all the areas. Short, sweet, and to the point. I could carry on with my normal working day.

The course was instructive with a lot of detailed information which must be studied but will be useful for me in the future.

Very good structure and presented in an understandable format.

Very informative and gave me clarity on things that were confusing me.  I do not regret paying for the online class, it was also convenient because I am in another province.

Very helpful!  Feeling much more relaxed about the exam.

I didn't understand a single thing about accounting as I never studied it at school.  But Johan is a great teacher and I'm even interacting in the discussions.  I'm very happy.

It helped in focusing one's attention on the right areas one should look at.

Daunting at first but wow what a beautiful experience and Melissa is just the best teacher! I am so glad I got the opportunity to be a part of this course.

Absolutely helpful! You learn so much and Melissa has so much patience and always assists!

Dit is 'n baie goeie kursus.  Melissa is amazing.  Sy bied die lesse baie goed aan. Ek hou baie van haar stories. Sy maak die lesse baie interessant en dit help om alles baie beter te verstaan.

This was a very helpful course for a beginner with little to no experience.

As a candidate attorney, I haven't handled the opening of a sectional scheme or even the planning thereof by myself.  As a result, I had a lot of blank areas.  This presentation, the notes and all the examples given helped to put the entire process into perspective.

I just want to let you know that I passed the Conveyancing Oral Exam yesterday. My thanks goes to Gawie and the team, especially to Erinda for believing in me.

I  first learned about the institution in 2019. When I  attended Ethics revision classes at George Ross Hall of the NG Church, I got 60%.

In 2020 during hard lockdown I joined Erinda's classes and that's when I fell in love with conveyancing. Thank you so much for the encouragement and the tips you gave us on 31 May 2022.

The lecturers were well-informed and have vast experience of Mediation in Family and Divorce which made learning the contents of the course enjoyable through their practical experience and personal takes/knowledge. I enjoyed the fact that all material is perpetually available on a link, the pre-recorded preparation makes the lectures enjoyable as you start the lecture with information and an understanding of the contents in advance. The interactiveness and meeting new people was great despite the sessions being online. The co-ordinators made the virtual attendance seamless and enjoyable.

I sat for my board exams in March. I only had Ethics left. I purchased the notes and recordings, I managed to obtain 82%, the highest in Polokwane.

I have passed my Conveyancing Exam with the Highest Marks in KZN. This was my first attempt, as I only got admitted as an attorney last year. I cannot express my gratitude to Gawie le Roux, I would not have been able to achieve these results without you. Initially, I was not going to write the second paper after I wrote the first paper, I came out of that exam in tears. When it was time to write the second paper, we had the floods in KZN and amongst all odds, I made it to write both papers, with nothing but hope.

This was my first attempt at the Notarial exam and being a mother and running my own practice it is not always easy to find time to just study. I only used the Gawie le Roux Notes and I attended the online course presented by Erinda and I also attended the pre-exam final preparation.

I passed with a very good mark. I got 81% and there is no doubt in my mind that I would not have been able to do so without the Gawie le Roux dynamic team. Ilana thank you for your patience and for always helping me whenever I pressed on your button.

Just letting you know that I have made it on both exams. Thank you so much for all your efforts. especially the last-minute Notarial workshop recording that I purchased. That was really helpful.

I would just like to thank all of you for the quality of the notarial course. I only had a very limited amount of time to study for the exam, and still passed. Please keep up the amazing work.

Ek wil julle graag hiermee laat weet ek het my Notaris eksamen geslaag, die eerste probeerslag met ‘n 71%. (dit is die vyfste hoogste punt in die land).

Miljoene dankies aan jou en die die Gawie le Roux span wat met soveel professionaliteit hierdie kursus vir ons aangebeid het en geadministreer het.

Sal jy omgee om asseblief aan Erinda ook my miljoene dankies te stuur. Sonder haar “resepte” en passie om die werk en die eksamen aan te pak sou dit verseker ‘n moeilike taak gewees het en sou ek ook nie 71% kon behaal nie.

Uit my my hart uit DANKIE DANKIE DANKIE.

I just wanted to say that I managed to pass all my exams thanks to the incredible classes and thorough notes provided by Gawie le Roux Institute of Law. I am so grateful! Thank you so much to your team, and especially Johan. Honestly, the best feeling ever! Would not have been possible without your team.

Extremely informative. Anri was well-spoken and engaging. All practitioners should partake in this webinar. Highly recommended.

Very informative and made use of very good practical examples.

Excellent - I knew nothing about FLISP and will be making sure I apply this in practice.

This was very informative with a lot of detail to assist me with the process and the do's and don'ts to assist first-time buyers in obtaining a FLISP subsidy.

Very informative and will definitely improve my writing skills.

A very nice refresher for the use of the language and also learned a new thing or two.

Well structured and presented, very informative.

It was well put together, highlighting the important aspects I was looking for - worth it!

Extremely informative and well-constructed! Melissa did an excellent job of presenting/training this course. The notes were well constructed and covered all aspects for conventional conveyancing, from beginning to registration of a deed of transfer. All questions participants/students possibly could have were answered and Melissa made sure all of us understood the work. Although it was a lot of work to cover in two days (theory), the case studies and examples in the notes made it less daunting. Overall, an exceptional training experience!

Very impressed with course content and co-ordinators. Melissa gives so much information and explains it all so clearly, she also answers questions simply when we don’t understand.

I am obviously living proof that the notes purchased by the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law definitely do make a difference.

Great notes which are easy to follow and understand. The presentation of the course was professional and interactive. Johan [van Stade] was clear and precise. He constantly checked if we were OK and welcomed all questions and answers, even if they were wrong and politely corrected us and explained where we went wrong.

Ek wou net baie dankie gesê het vir julle produkte. Ek kon nie die klasse bywoon nie maar het die "recordings" gekoop en ek het die eerste keer geslaag te danke aan julle. BAIE DANKIE! Julle sal altyd my eerste keuse wees!

I registered for your conveyancing course in January 2020 and attended the course in February with Erinda, which was of great benefit and which I enjoyed immensely! I received the good news that I passed on my first attempt. Please pass my special thanks onto Erinda – her lectures were dynamic, the notes were user-friendly and the model answers benefitted me tremendously in the exam. Now, more than a year later, I still use your notes on a daily basis in practice.

Ek het die kursusse regtig baie geniet en BAIE geleer! Dit is vreeslik lekker om met sulke vriendelike, behulpsame mense soos Gawie le Roux se personeel te werk!

I am so grateful that I could attend the conveyancing workshop. Erinda is such an inspiration and I definitely needed the course to set a more solid foundation for me to work on. 

Ek wil graag baie dankie sê aan Michelle, Alouise, Erinda en Melissa. Baie dankie vir al julle kursusse wat ek bygewoon het, dit is regtig die moeite werd en ek sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel wat ernstig is om verder te studeer.

I am absolutely thrilled that I have passed the conveyancing exam on my first attempt. I thoroughly enjoyed the course presented by Erinda and the notes are brilliant. Thank you!

Ek het my Aktes eksamen van September 2019 die eerste keer geslaag danksy julle fantastiese kursus. Dit verg harde werk, maar met julle kursus en Erinda se ongelooflike aanbieding was dit verseker al die bloed, sweet en trane werd!

I want to take this opportunity to thank you so much for the conveyancing course and notes. I attended your course for 4 days and followed your words of advice – and passed my exam on my first attempt as candidate attorney.

I would like to share the good news that I passed the Conveyancing Exam. It was the first time I sat for this exam and I only got the material for the course on the 16th July 2019, which meant that I had only two months to prepare. I considered writing the exam next year in 2020 but then I just thought it won't hurt me if I tried the exam this year, just to get the experience. And then I actually passed! Thank you so much to the whole team for putting the course together, it is a comprehensive course and it surely prepared me for the exam.

Ek het in Mei 2019 besluit om julle notas te koop en te begin studeer met die absolute minimum praktiese ervaring in aktes. Ek het Julie 2019 julle kursus bygewoon wat aangebied was deur Erinda Frantzen. Ek het beide die eksamens op 11 September 2019 geskryf en ek kan net met dankbaarheid sê dat ek hierdie eksamens die eerste keer geslaag het. Die voorbereiding en ure se swot moet steeds gedoen word maar sonder julle notas en kursus sou hierdie uitslag verseker nie moontlik gewees het nie.

I am absolutely thrilled! I have passed the 2019 Conveyancing exam with a mark of 71.5% on my first attempt. This being the second highest mark in KZN and the third highest mark in South Africa. I cannot believe that I have been able to achieve this. I had never worked in conveyancing before I decided to write the exam however I wanted to extend my knowledge and further my qualifications. I purchased my notes from the Centre for Conveyancing and I sat down and began at the first page.

Just a short thank you to the admin team and Erinda for everything, this online webinar training is wonderful. I have attended a few webinars the past few weeks and you can be very proud of how it is presented. Truly excellent.

Mr le Roux is an inspirational and efficient lecturer. His notes are so methodical and effective and his examination tips are priceless. Having no practical experience in conveyancing, attending the course only once and with only ONE month of rigorous preparation and study of ONLY Mr le Roux’s notes, I passed the conveyancing exam on my FIRST try. I know that Mr le Roux’s course, notes, exam tips, uplifting support and enthusiasm played a significant role in me achieving this.

I attended your training for conveyancing during 2017. Each time before going for exams I would attend the 1-day revision workshop. On the September 2019 exam I qualified for an oral and during my oral I was asked if I attended classes lectured by Erinda. I said yes and one the panelists told me that he could hear Erinda talking in my answers. Thank you very much, I passed my oral!

I attended the conveyancing course and exam workshop. I had no experience in conveyancing but was so determined to write. I heard about everyone’s exam fears and nauseating orals. Upon attending the course, having an open mind and willingness to learn, I wrote both papers and I passed on my first attempt receiving the highest mark in KZN of 70.50%. It is all thanks to Gawie le Roux Institution of Law and of course Erinda Frantzen, who is an amazing and inspiring woman. The manner in which she conducted the seminars were outstanding, brilliant and extremely helpful.

Passing the exam has advanced me in my career where I never thought I would ever be after failing so many times. I can only say a huge thanks to your team for the dedication and passion they put into the notes and lectures that actually got me to pass the exam. Erinda gave me such amazing tips and advice on how to pass the exam and your notes are exceptional. I find your course to be excellent and truly, if you just study the notes, do examples and answer the exam questions you are sure to pass.

The course exceeded my expectations. Gawie le Roux's manuals are very in detail and interesting. After attending the course, I feel more comfortable in the office.

At the conveyancing course for secretaries I learned a lot about the regulations and procedures to follow when dealing with clients, drafting of documents, signing, lodging, the deeds office and how I must carry myself to make it in the business.  The course helped me understand that I must always be effective in my work, work harder in everything I do and excel at it.

I would just like to give some feedback on attending the secretaries' course with Melissa as our presenter. Superb is the only word I can think of. It takes a great presenter to make you understand so much in such a short period of time. This is definitely a great asset to my career and I am so happy that I went with Gawie le Roux Institute. I would definitely recommend this conveyancing course to anyone who wants to further their knowledge and expertise in this industry.

This is just a note to say thank you. I registered for the online courses for the preparation for all four papers for the board exams. I attended all the classes and took in as much as I could. I am pleased to inform you that I passed Paper 2, 3 and 4 at the first sitting and I had to sit for an oral exam for Paper 1 which I passed as well.

I wrote the recent notarial exam and would have honestly been lost had it not been for GLR’s excellent notes!!!

Thank you so very much for taking the time to review all the past papers, compile notes and go through all of them so that many of us do not have to. You have offered a very professional service that I appreciated the entire way through. I really feel as though the money I paid for the notes was well spent. I will be honest, a lot of us buy into courses like this simply because we are not the best self-studiers and suck terribly at making our own notes and also, we just do not have the time amongst having to work and keep up to date with roles in our law firms. Thanks a million, guys.

Ek het die klasse vir al vier die vraestelle bygewoon. Komplimente aan julle instansie met die volledigheid van julle notas en opdatering daarvan na elke eksamensessie. Dan wil ek ook vir Johan sê dankie vir die manier waarop hy die kursus aanbied. My agtergrond van Boekhou is, om die minste te sê, beroerd... Ek het dit nie as vak op skool gehad nie, net daarmee te doen gekry vir my LLB by Unisa. Ek het dit op my vierde probeerslag deurgekom, net met 50%. Na die Boekhou prep klasse, dink ek verstaan ek dit vir die eerste keer.

This email serves to express my appreciation for the Attorneys Examination preparation course that you offer. I attended one for Paper 1 in February 2020, as a last resort and after unsuccessfully attempting the examination four times. I got the results and I have passed the examination. The study material offered at the course was very useful, as it was well structured and simplified.

I would really like to thank you very much for the oral preparation session that you offered. I did exceptionally well in my oral examination by just following your guide and advice you gave me. May God bless you and continue to give you the strength to continue to do what you do best and to help people like me to succeed. 

Thank you to Gawie and the team for having started the lessons. They were beneficial and thanks to him and his guide I managed to pass the Paper 3 with a 70%. I will definitely recommend it to future candidates for the exams.

I picked up my study notes from PostNet and I'm so impressed with not only the content and format but also with the efficiency in processing my order. The notes are so user-friendly and make the board exams a little less scary because I have such a great start to my preparation. Many thanks for a super easy and efficient process!

I just wanted thank all you guys as I have managed to pass my attorneys' admission exams. The recordings were a tremendous help.

First of all, I’d like to comment on Johan’s teaching style. I have really enjoyed his teaching. He has made a lot of work, much more bearable. He focuses on what is important to pass the exams, and does not get carried away by all the unnecessary detailed information which makes the study material unnecessarily bulky. I like that he has added a bit of humor in his teaching and that he gives examples. What I like the most, is that he starts his lectures by building a foundation, he does not just jump in and start doing questions. This is so important and has helped me a lot.

I would just like to let you know that I have passed all four of my admission exams on the first try, thanks to your notes. Special thanks to Johan, the lectures and notes are fantastic. I will recommend it to anyone! 

As a new attorney with no experience in conveyancing I have learned that there is a vast amount of things that is not covered on the academic side. I understand conveyancing so much better now.

I thoroughly enjoyed the practical conveyancing course. I was informed of the simplest procedures which I initially found daunting, like lodging documents in the deeds office. Questions that were simple and which I was afraid to ask were answered and we went into detail with the entire transfer process.

I attended the practical course for conveyancing and would recommend it to all conveyancers, whether newly admitted or seasoned in practice. Melissa made the theory fun and the dots were certainly connected with the practical side of conveyancing – highly recommended!

Ek wil graag ‘n kompliment van waardering rig aan Melissa vir haar absolute hoë standaard opleiding, en die deeglikheid waarmee sy haar klas aangebied het. Haar kennis en passie vir aktes is iets om na te streef, en ek kan defnitief opkyk na haar as ‘n rolmodel.

Once again this course has (as all other courses that I have attended with the Institute) pleasantly exceeded my expectations. The notes are comprehensive, and easily understandable, with useful 'nitty gritty' practical notes that you would never learn from studying the theory alone. The presentation was engaging and insightful, and Melissa was able to clearly answer all my questions. I would, without reservation, recommend this course.

Dit was die eerste keer wat ek board exams geskryf het en ek het al vier vraestelle op een slag geskryf - en deurgekom! Mense het vir my gelag en gese ek is mal. Ek het hard geleer en julle klasse bygewoon. Danksy julle en Mnr van Stade se klasse, kan ek met trots se dat ek al 4 vraestelle geslaag het. Dit was senutergend, maar ek is julle ewig dankbaar. Julle is werklik awesome en ek weet nie hoe anders ek dit sou gemaak het as dit nie was vir Johan nie. Hy het die nodige tyd ingewerk en seker gemaak almal wat sukkel is gehelp en selfversekerd.

Wil net baie dankie sê vir julle puik kursus ek sal dit vir enigiemand aanbeveel! Ek is baie trots op my punt, ek het 86% gekry, een van die hoogste punte in Gauteng - alles te danke aan Erinda en julle puik span! Julle lewer 'n baie professionele diens en die klasse was baie insiggewend.

A big "thank you" to the whole team for all your assistance. I thoroughly enjoyed the course - Erinda is brilliant! The notes are super and provide an invaluable understanding of notarial practice. The notes are concise and very user friendly. I’m thoroughly enjoying it! I will recommend the Institute to my colleagues in the legal profession.

I just wanted to thank you for the best possible preparation material and classes for the Notary exam. Your passion for teaching shows and kept me motivated throughout this journey. I have passed the exam and it would not have been possible without your fabulous team. I am truly grateful for your training and guidance, especially since I am practising in intellectual property law and had to start from ground zero. I am soooo thankful and appreciative to your entire team! It is so refreshing dealing with a legal training institute that doesn’t require constant follow-up calls and emails.

Just wanted to let you guys know I passed the Notary Exam on my first sitting. I only attended the Examination Workshop as a refresher as I did the Course in Notarial Practice a while ago however never went to write due to work commitments. Thank you to all whom form part of the team, you guys are truly amazing.

Thank you to GLR, in particular to Erinda for the classes and for answering my queries. I passed my notary exam at first attempt with 78.5% in Gauteng. The notes were easy to follow and the examples are exceptional. Oh yes, I worked hard, but I had a good background afforded by the self explanatory notes. I also want to thank the admin personnel for all your patience, assistance and most of all for listening when I needed help. I am more than chuffed with myself that I qualified as Conveyancer and a Notary within six months of each other.

I strongly believe in giving credit where credit is due. I am happy to say that I passed my conveyancing exams on the first attempt, and with under just three months of preparation. This course is without a doubt worth every penny. From the comprehensive notes to the guidance of Erinda in preparation for the exam, I would unreservedly recommend this course to anyone looking to write the conveyancing exams, and I myself in future will look to the Gawie le Roux Institute for any further professional education and development. A massive thumbs up and big thanks to the team! 

I just wanted to let you know that I passed my notaries exam first time. Even though I felt that I had not had much time to prepare considering working commitments, I felt that it was as a result of the notes provided by your firm and the wonderful lectures by Erinda which equipped me sufficiently to pass.

This course obviously allows for an additional qualification but it also teaches you skills that you can use when negotiating and dealing with clients in day to day practice. It also helps to provide clients with an understanding of the mediation process. The effort on the part of the trainers to provide a holistic skills and understanding of huge value.

I obtained proper skills to facilitate negotiations. It was of great value!! I will apply everything that I have learned on a daily basis!

I would just like to say a huge thank you for the amazing course in mediation. The videos that were uploaded were awesome and I must confess that out of pure interest, I did watch a few more than once. The explanations are incredible. I have been doing this work for a while, but sometimes a refresher with things like maintenance calculations and division of assets is really needed.  

Ek het die uitslae van my Aktebesorgers-eksamen ontvang (Oktober 2021) en geslaag met vlieënde vaandels, met my eerste probeerslag. Boonop het ek laat eers besluit om vir die eksamens in te skryf en het ek eers die tweede week van Julie begin met my selfstudie. Ek skryf my goeie resultate toe aan die uitstekende studie-materiaal. Ek wil hierdie geleentheid gebruik om julle te bedank vir die studie-materiaal wat ek ontvang het en uitsluitlik gebruik het vir my eksamenvoorbereiding. Dit het al die verskil gemaak.

Thank you for a course that is easy to read and understand with good examples. A special thanks to the lecturer for his professional approach and friendly teaching mannerism.

I passed the Conveyancing exam on my first attempt and GLR played a major role in my success. The notes provided are excellent and highly recommended. I also attended GLR’s online classes presented by Erinda. She explained the notes so well and was very helpful. Thank you so much for your professional service.

I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I took on the enormous task of writing both Conveyancing and Notaries in April 2021 (after only starting to study for both in Feb. 2021). I received my results and passed both. I gave it my all but (other than through God's grace) I could not have done it without your teachings. I registered for the recordings. I also registered for another institution's course and all I can say is - I wouldn't have been here today if I didn't do your classes.

I wish to share my absolute joy with you! I passed my conveyancing exams!! I just want to thank Erinda for the manner in which she presents a massive body of work and makes it look effortless. Teaching multiple classes for weeks and maintaining the energy all the while being factually correct is definitely no easy task. The manner in which she explains rather difficult concepts is superb and definitely helped for those moments where you look at a high mark allocation and hit a bit of a blank!

Ek wil van hierdie geleentheid gebruik maak om te sê baie baie dankie vir die Gawie le Roux-span, ek het my akte-eksamen geslaag en word 23 November 2021 toegelaat as ‘n Aktevervaardiger. Ek sou dit nie kon doen sonder julle uitsonderlike kursus en voorbereiding nie. Baie dankie vir die ongelooflike professionele manier waarop julle hierdie kursus behartig. Ek het nog nie so iets in my lewe teëgekom nie. Dankie vir al die moeite en tyd wat elkeen van julle in hierdie kursus insit.

Baie dankie vir die wonderlike kursus in aktebesorging. Dit was die eerste keer wat ek die eksamens gaan skryf het. Ek het 68% vir beide Vraestel 1 en 2 gekry, en dit sonder 'n dag se ondervinding in aktes. Dit was alles te danke aan Gawie le Roux se notas en die manier wat Erinda die kursus en die werkswinkel aangebied het. Ek gaan beslis die notariële kursus ook deur julle doen. Weereens baie dankie!

I am elated to share the wonderful news with all of you at the Gawie le Roux institute that I passed the Conveyancing exams!!! It was my first attempt and with no conveyancing experience I would like to say a very special thank you to ERINDA FRANTZEN. My results are a testament to her amazing lectures and explanations and the comprehensive notes. A few years back I also did the Notary course with her and passed the first time. I would recommend both these courses to all those who want to write the exam.  

I confirm that I passed the two conveyancing examinations in September 2021. It was my first time writing the exams. I started studying 1.5 months before the exam. I used the Gawie le Roux study notes and the recording of the classes presented by Erinda in early 2021 to prepare for the exam. A very big thank you to Erinda and the team for your excellent presentation and study material.

I attended the Course for Conveyancing as well as the Exam Preparation Workshop this year (2021) and passed both paper 1 and 2 on my first attempt in the September sitting. This was definitely all due to your amazing course and presentation! I will forever be grateful and will always recommend the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law.

Baie dankie vir julle briljante notas en vir Erinda. Ek sou dit nooit sonder julle kon doen nie.

Thank you so much for the great experience, insightful discussions and excellent information and tips received on the Practical Conveyancing for Attorneys Course! Your courses have never failed to exceed my expectations. 

Ek wil graag die Gawie le Roux Regsinstituut en vir Melissa bedank vir die uitstekende 3-dag kursus die afgelope week. Ek is toegelaat as Aktebesorger maar het geen praktiese ondervinding in Aktes nie. Die kursus is uitstekend vir enige persoon wat nie ondervinding of min ondervinding in Aktes het. Ek sal die kursus vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Baie dankie vir julle puik diens. 

I would just like to send a testimonial regarding the practical conveyancing course that I attended with Melissa. I have been working in a conveyancing department for about a year now and I am amazed at how much I actually learnt. There is so much that I didn’t know and was not taught. After the first day I went home and told my husband that I was so extremely excited to go back to the course the following day as it was so interesting and I learnt so much. Even the admitted conveyancer that was present with us learnt so much that she did not know.

Thank you for the excellent presentation by Melissa. I found the course very enlightening and I will definitely attend more courses offered by the Gawie le Roux Institute.

A colleague and I recently attended your Conveyancing typist course and would just like to say how much we enjoyed the course and how enlightening it was. Melissa has such a passion for what she does making her such an outstanding lecturer.

My daughter and I attended the Basic Diploma course which was given by Melissa. Thank you for this opportunity, we both enjoyed it very much. I have been on other courses, but I must admit, this was the best one so far. The explanations and examples given were so informative. I would recommend anyone to do this course. Please congratulate everyone, especially Melissa, on the awesome work done.

Ek en my twee kollegas het die basiese diploma kursus bygewoon. Dit was vir ons baie interessant en lekker. Ons wil net hiermee vir julle sê dat dit baie goeie notas is. Ons kon nie vir beter gevra het nie. Die dame, Melissa Smit, wat die klas aangebied het was ook ongelooflik goed, vriendelik en geduldig met ons. Die gevallestudie is baie oulik. Julle het baie moeite gedoen om ons te leer hoe om ‘n lêer oop te maak met al die voorbeelde. Dit gaan definitief ons werk vorentoe baie makliker maak.

Ek wil net vir julle terugvoer gee van die kursus wat ek laas week bygewoon het. Dit was awesome, ek het so baie geleer. En Melissa is die beste persoon vir dit, sy was great. Dit was soveel meer as wat ek verwag het. Melissa, baie dankie dat jy sulke goeie klasse aangebied het. Ek dink nie iemand anders kon dit beter gedoen het nie.

I passed the Notaries Exam - in fact, as no 1 for KZN. Erinda's course and exam notes were really excellent and without same I would never have passed the exam.

Please convey my thanks to everyone at Aktepraktyk - I just heard that I passed my notaries exam on my first attempt and I am over the moon! I registered for the self-study course and the notes were brilliant - the concepts are so clearly explained and they covered everything thoroughly.‎ Please tell Erinda Frantzen what a great job she is doing.

I attended your notarial practice and conveyancing courses respectively this year and want to thank you for your excellent courses and notes as I passed both the notarial practice exam and conveyancing exam first time. I have and am recommending your courses to my colleagues who want to write these exams. Thank you for what you have done to help further my career.

I attended the Notary course. As a candidate attorney who had no previous experience in any form of drafting, your notes and classes helped me immensely to prepare for this examination. I passed the Notary Examination on my first attempt. I would like to thank you for your excellent notes and explanation of the various topics. I will recommend this course to anyone who wants to be a Notary public.

I just wanted to write to thank all of you at the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law for the notes and courses in respect of conveyancing and notarial practice. I did both courses earlier this year, wrote both exams and passed both first time. I would definitely recommend the notes and courses to colleagues in the future.

I just wanted to say that the Notarial course held today was by far the best legal crash course I have been on. Thank you!!

I just want to thank Erinda Frantzen for the Notary lectures. I obtained 74.5% for the Notary exam. I work for the government and have no practical experience of Notary. I solely relied on your notes and the lectures. Thank you so much.

I attended your Notarial Practice course and I passed the exam with 81.7%! I am definitely a very relieved and happy customer. In addition, my father who is also a practising conveyancer, received an email from one of the examiners which read as follows: "I understand that the candidate who goes by the name of S.K. Stowell and who wrote the recent notarial exam is your daughter? If so, please convey my heartiest congratulations to her on what was quite the most exceptional script I have ever marked.

Ek het deurgekom met jul notas. Ek het net 3 maande studeer, maar het elke vrye oomblik daarvan studeer. Baie dankie vir jul fantastiese notas. Ek het 6de gekom in die eksamen van die Kaapse Wetsgenootskap, net 12 mense het deurgekom. Die hoogste punt was 60%, so die standaard is erg hoog. Dankie vir al jul fantastiese notas. Ek is vandag definitief bemagtig en nou kan ek toegelaat word as aktebesorger.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr le Roux and the Conveyancing course team as I passed my conveyancing exam. After a few attempts my dream has finally become a reality and that is due to your excellent notes and conveyancing course as I had no conveyancing experience when I began studying the material. All I can say is thank you, thank you and thank you for all your hard work and passion that helped motivate me!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to your team for your outstanding conveyancing notes. With the assistance of these notes I was able to pass the conveyancing examination at my first attempt.

Please note that I have passed my notary and conveyancing exam and recently got admitted. Your material assisted me very much.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the effort and passion you put in the Conveyancing courses and notes! I passed on my first attempt and managed to obtain 62%! Undoubtedly the amount of work I put in had something to do with my result but I am very confident that your notes and course have played a crucial part in my pass. Your notes and explanations make a fairly complex and extensive subject more approachable and understandable.

I would like to thank the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law for the extensive notes that were provided to me. I passed the conveyancing exam on my first attempt and it would not have been possible without the help and guidance of your team!

Ek was by die Notariële Kurses wat julle aangebied het met die doel op die eksamen wat later die jaar sou plaasvind. Ek het  een oggend vroeg 'n sms gekry wat lui "Dear D Horn.... Results for Not Exam... Pass..." Ek was in ekstase! Ek wil net vir Erinda dankie sê vir die manier hoe jy jou kurses aanbied, die stories wat jy vertel het waarin jy die teorie en drafting daarin deurtrek.

I attended the Notary course and I am happy to report that I passed the exam first time. Please send my thanks and appreciation to Erinda for her awesome dynamic lectures and notes.

Ek weet jul span geniet en waardeer altyd positiewe terugvoer op die kursusse, so ek wil julle graag in kennis stel dat ek my notariële eksamen met die eerste probeerslag geslaag het! Danksy jul studiemateriaal en kursusse is ek nou ‘n trotse, gekwalifiseerde aktevervaardiger én notaris.

I have obtained the notarial update and have used the updates as a source of inspiration for studying towards the notary examination. This assisted me with exposure to the latest legislation and practice guidelines whilst attending to conveyancing when being employed as an attorney in the Eastern Cape. I have worked as an attorney in various facets of law and passed the notarial examination when my work commitments in practice allowed me to do so. I wish to thank you for your endless support and fulfillment!

Words cannot express my gratitude to Gawie and everyone at Aktepraktyk for all the brilliant notes you produce and the amazing course and pre-exam workshop. You are so passionate about what you do and without your inspiration I might have given up long ago. I am so thrilled to announce that I finally passed my Conveyancing Exam in KZN in May 2017! My story is not one of first time glory but persistent effort which enabled me to gain this valuable qualification. Your course is the best available and without it, there is no way I would have achieved what seemed an insurmountable task.

I got my conveyancing exam results last week and, I’m happy to report, I passed on my second attempt! I came close enough the first time around, but back then I was still out-of-depth in respect of mortgage bonds and sectional titles. This time I was much better prepared. Needless to say, I couldn’t have done it without your study notes. However, I also want to thank you sincerely for arranging with the convener of the examiners to address us at the finishing workshop.

I attended the conveyancing one-day workshop you presented before the examination and I just wish to extend my appreciation for your time and consideration in conducting the classes. I would also like to thank you for your kind words of encouragement to the attendees. I have passed the exam with God's help and I can say with certainty that I would not have managed it without Aktepraktyk's notes and the workshop you presented.

I received my conveyancing results after taking the Exam in May 2017. I have attended Erinda’s classes in Durban as well as the exam workshop and it all paid back. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Erinda and to the course. Thank you very much for making my dreams a reality.

I just wanted to say how grateful I am for having been able to attend your conveyancing course. I managed to pass on my first attempt after slightly more than a month's time to study for the exam. Many thanks for the good work that you do.

I just wanted to thank everyone who was involved in the creation of the conveyancing notes. I have no experience and I passed it the first time. The notes are brilliant!

I attended your conveyancing course with hardly any experience in conveyancing. I wrote the exam for the first time in September and have just received my results and I am beyond thrilled to say that I passed first time! I honestly could not have achieved this without Gawie’s course and extensive well-structured notes. I am forever grateful towards your team and programme and would highly recommend it to anybody who is interested in becoming a conveyancer.

I attended the Exam Workshop held in Northcliff for the preparation of the Conveyancing Exam September 2017. I am delighted to inform Ms. Frantzen that I received my results yesterday and I passed my exam on the first attempt. I can truly say that the self-study notes and the exam workshop played such a vital role and I could not have written the exam without it. Questions that were discussed in the workshop (especially that extending clause question) was repeated in the exam! Erinda can rejoice at what a brilliant and amazing lecturer she is!

I wanted to say a very big thank you for an amazing conveyancing course. Your presenter was amazing and not only has a wealth of knowledge also has the passion and inspiration to teach and impart her knowledge expertly. Thank you very much.

I passed my Conveyancing exam! Thank you to Erinda and everyone – especially Erinda for her informative exam prep class! I couldn’t have done it without all of you. I was really feeling quite despondent and after that exam prep class I knew I had a fighting chance and came back home and just studied even harder and well, there you go, the results speak for themselves.

I passed my conveyancing exam on the first attempt and it would not have been possible had it not been for the comprehensive notes and case studies that were provided to me and the amazing way that it was unpacked during lectures. Thank you for the support I received during my study time. I would certainly recommend this course to anyone interested in the conveyancing profession.

Ek het my Aktebesorger Eksamen afgelê en was suksesvol om dit die eerste keer te kon slaag, alles danksy u firma. Ek het eers in Maart besluit om in te skryf vir die Akte eksamen en was dus ongelukkig te laat om die week-kursus by te woon. Die notas en die eendag-kursus wat Erinda Frantzen aangebied het was meer as voldoende om my deur die eksamen te help. Die notas is baie goed en duidelik-verstaanbaar uiteengesit en Erinda het ‘n aansteeklike passie vir haar werk en dit het op my afgesmeer.

Ek wil u as ‘n firma hartlik bedank vir die hulp ten opsigte van my eksamenvoorbereiding. Ek het my eksamen geslaag en ek weet ek sou dit nie kon gedoen het sonder die fantastiese hulp nie.

Ek het sopas via sms verneem dat ek my Aktes deur is. Ek wil vreeslik graag vir Erinda bedank. Ek sou dit net eenvoudig nooit gemaak het as dit nie vir haar puik klasgee en notas was nie. Ek het ‘blank’ geslaan met my eerste vraestel maar haar wenke, het my laat “herstel” en ek kon toe die vrae beantwoord.

Ek het die kursus in Bloemfontein (Julie 2017) bygewoon, nou in September vir die eerste keer gaan skryf en geslaag! Julle lewer ‘n fantastiese diens en produk, vanaf administratiewe reëlings, studiemateriaal, aanbieding en lokaalkeuse! Baie dankie.

Ek het die eksamen vir die tweede keer op 6 September 2017 geskryf. Ek het optimisties gevoel na ek geskryf het en gereken dat die vraestel billik was. Ek het uitgevind dat ek suksesvol was met ‘n punt van 59%. Ek dank u vir die massiewe rol wat u in my uitslag gespeel het met die onverbeterlike aanbieding van die notas en ook die kort voor eksamen kursus. Ek is ook dankbaar vir die notas, wat nie die werk maklik maak nie, maar dit op die mees sinvolle en bruikbare wyse denkbaar voorstel. Ek is baie gelukkig.
