"My overall experience with the course was very positive. All the materials were well-prepared, clear and informative - covered the entire syllabus and gave numerous practical examples. Dr. Svetlin Krastanov provided us with additional reading materials as well. Weekly quizzes helped summarize the course's main points; the assignments encouraged me to research the required topics - and then became excellent notes when I needed to review specific areas in the last week before the exam. Feedback on the assignments provided by Dr. Svetlin Krastanov was valuable - showed me the areas where I needed additional work, and helped me to improve the exam technique and how to answer the questions to maximize marks. The mock exams were a great source of additional potential exam questions and topics that needed to be focused on - in addition to the past exam papers. The guidance on answering the questions was clear and the lecturer's feedback again pointed out my strengths and weaknesses. Furthermore, as there was no specific deadline for submission of the mock exams, I could fit them into my study plan - after I completed studying a particular material. I could also practice and improve my time management skills with each mock exam.
I would highly recommend the Tax Academy Online ADIT Principles in International Taxation course as it helped me to pass the exam on the first attempt. Because all the materials are available online, I could study anytime and fit exam preparations into my busy routine. Dr. Svetlin Krastanov is a great lecturer and helped me a lot with the questions I had before I enrolled, during the course and after - even in the last days before the exam. I am planning to sit the Transfer Pricing option next - and I am looking forward to studying with Tax Academy Online and Dr. Svetlin Krastanov again."
