The Academy

"I would like to express my thanks for this form of studying. I think there has not been anything like this in Slovakia before: a training course in Slovak, over a longer period of time, giving each participant the possibility and time to process the acquired knowledge, memorise it, and then really get to work with the new information. The training course was very well organized, and I highly appreciate the fact that the theory was explained using practical examples with the chance for participants to discuss issues. I will certainly recommend the course to others, and thanks once again!"

"Our cooperation with PwC Academy in Slovakia started in 2013, when we opened a small FIA group. Based on a very good learning experience, employees’ feedback and results, the group grew nearly 10-fold over time. The Academy helped us build an educational system for the continuous development of our professionals. Now after 3 years, more than 250 students study with us for internationally recognised qualifications including FIA, ACCA, and DipIFR every year. Study programmes are a significant part of our talent development programme. Our pass rates are excellent - over 85%. We highly appreci-ate the consultative approach and the administrative support of PwC Academy."

"HR Academy provides excellent training which gives you, in addition to theoretical knowledge, plenty of practical experience, both from the lecturer and from other participants. It is a great motivation and a strong benefit that you can discuss day-to-day activities from work with colleagues from other spheres, and get a different perspective on various issues, and draw on the experience of others working in the sector. HR Academy is an ideal combination of training, discussion, testing case studies in groups, and exchanging experience with each other."

"I am extremely glad that I decided to study DipIFR at the PwC’s Academy. I can make good use of the theoretical knowledge acquired during exam preparation, mainly thanks to my experienced tutor who gave us the benefits of his extensive practical experience, in addition to teaching us the theory via many examples. I have already completed several training courses at the PwC’s Academy, but the DipIFR was the first one where I decided to take the exam. Though the preparation was hard, it also helped me improve as regards accounting standards, as I did not have much practical experience with them until then. After successful completing the DipIFR course, I feel confident that whatever topic comes up at work, I can immediately apply the respective standard. I recommend DipIFR to everyone who works in accounting, finance, or audit. The ability to apply IFRS standards in practice will be of benefit at every company."

"The classes of the IFRS Academy training course were excellent. You have very good lecturers, who do not mechanically recite the standard texts word for word, but understand the substance and are interested in passing this “philosophy” on. I also give the PwC’s IFRS Academy training course a very positive rating compared to my experience with competing IFRS training courses. I am very happy I was able to attend your IFRS Academy training course."

"The tutor Robert, as an experienced project manager, knew how to inform in an engaging way, not only to long-term project coordinators who solve projects in a more methodical way, but also to beginners in project management. A big bonus for me was that Robert made the course of the training special with short presentations linked to his life experiences. I positively assess the organization of the course and the communication with representatives of the PwC Academy, which was smooth and friendly."
