I would like to express my gratitude and award you and the staff with massive compliments in the process of obtaining my PDE4 accreditation. Without the support and patience during the process.

Thanks to PropAcademy, the motivation & encouragement.  Never would have done it without you guys

I would like to thank PropAcademy for the guidance and hand holding so as to ensure that I ( turning 65 in July) managed to complete the PDE4 exam successfully at my first attempt at the May exam.  This was only possible due to the fact that with your training being so thorough that I was able to even overcome losing 79 minutes of online exam time trying to log in. Yes 79 minutes short, I managed to answer 33 of the 40 questions and passed. This can only be put down to the fact of how well I was guided and prepared by your colleagues for the exam.

I would like to say thank you very much for your efforts, I am definitely sure I wouldn’t have passed my exam without your help, I believe prop Academy is the best institution ever.

Thank you, PropAcademy and all the staff members.

I recently passed my PDE4 and NQF4 thanks to your amazing classes and am now Manager at Maxprop Umhlanga!!

Your course is really excellent, I was very well prepared.

I just wanted to say thank you Courtney, for the assistance over the last couple of weeks, and to please extend this to the remainder of your team. The course material and service that was provided for the PDE4 Exam by PropAcademy was outstanding! I was thoroughly prepared for the paper. So much so that I had other candidates, who had been on workshops and done courses with other service providers asking me questions prior to starting.

Ek het die indeks gebruik asook die vraestel. Al die notas en flashcards het baie gehelp.  Alles van PropAcadamy was versker nuttig. Baie dankie nogmaals.
