Attorneys' admission exam courses

• Nontuthuko Siluma

  I was so impressed.  This course has improved my knowledge and understanding of bookkeeping. (Attorneys' admission exam courses, Paper 4)

• Jonas Ntate

  As a person with no background in accounting, the classes boosted my confidence. (Attorneys' admission exam courses, Paper 4)

• Mack Mokwena

  The instructor was meticulous in presenting the course and imperatively organised. (Attorneys' admission exam courses, Paper 3)

• Mpho Mafeo

  Mr van Stade is a well-prepared lecturer who goes above and beyond to ensure a proper reception of the course material and applies himself thoroughly in ensuring proper understanding of the work presented.  His style of presentation also makes it very easy to understand, follow and retrieve from memory the work presented. (Attorneys' admission exam courses, Paper 2)

• Natasha Brand

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

• Zanele Leon

  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)

• Angelique Mansour

  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)

• Sanele Dlamini

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

• Sukoluhle Nkululeko Zuma

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

• Diane Opperman

  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)

• Elvira Steenkamp

  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) 

• Aryan Mootheeram

  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)

• Denise Louw

  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.

• Shonna Morley

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

• Suzette de Lange

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

• Mmashela Kgoshiadira

  Had high expectations and they were met.

• Xavaux Shelton

  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. 

• Xavaux Shelton

  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. 

• Caitlan Gordon

  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.

• Dante

  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.

• T Radebe

  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.

• C Swele

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

• A Botha

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

• R Brink

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

• JL Swart

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

• JL Veeriah

  Good pass, second time around.

• E West

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

• S Flies

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

• A Pema

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

• M Mamabolo

  It contains the most recent information.

• T Moorley

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

• C Gordon

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

• Elizabeth Kotze

  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! 

• Linda Khumalo

  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. I am set to take double admission next year. THANKS TO THE INSTITUTE. IT IS A FORCE TO RECKON WITH.

• Khathutshelo Caroline Tshivhidzo

  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.

• Joline Pelser

  Very helpful!  Feeling much more relaxed about the exam.

• Gomolemo Motuba

  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.

• Malefetsane Mokoena

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

• Tshandatshamaanda Sigwadi

  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.

• Leigh-Anne Kriel

  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.

• Ryan James

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

• Amelia Pillay

  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.

• Khanyisile Mdluli

  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.

• Keven Whitehead

  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.

• Hanna Nortjé

  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. Ek sal verseker julle prep klasse vir Aktes en Notariëel ook bywoon sodra ek my toelatingseksamen geslaag het.

• Sekgoela Joel

  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.

• Eunice Ndelitungapo Sakaria

  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. 

• Tshegofatso Jacobs

  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.

• Vikara Naidoo

  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!

• Anonymous, June 2021

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

• Ronel Janse van Rensburg

  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 will definitely enroll for his conveyancing classes when the time comes. Thank you for the course and the notes. I have really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be recommending you to others! 

• Soanne Ferreira

  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! 

• Drienie Roodt

  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. Ek gaan beslis julle besonderhede opgee vir al my ander student-kollegas. You guys rock!
