Timothy Mate
Timothy is one of the beneficiaries of the PDH Mission for Community Development's lifelong skills for sustainability program. He completed the Foundation Stage of ACCA in June 2021. He attempted two subjects, namely Performance Management (PM) and Financial Reporting (FR) in the Applied Skills Level, which he failed to pass. Therefore did not qualify for further funding - He realized that he did not have the right study materials. He acquired the material and managed to re-write at his own cost and passed both papers. In addition, he passed another paper, namely Corporate and Business Law - Global (LW - GLO) He is therefore remaining with three subjects to clear the Applied Skills Level. On re-valuation PDH has assisted him again to write another exam in September namely Audit and Assurance (AA), Thereafter, he will begin the next level of my studies, the Professional Level, which has four classes.
