Tracy Geel, Never too late

Tracy Geel is proof that you don’t need to be young or have matric behind your name to make the world your oyster.
Tracy is a 48-year-old mom of two, wife and fulltime employee, who has grown exponentially, since studying with SACOB.
Give yourself the opportunity of growth and success in 2019.

Before studying further , Tracy had completed grade 11 and some short courses.

At the age of 47, she decided she wanted more for herself professionally, and enrolled for her ICB Financial Accounting Qualification with SACOB. Tracy successfully completed the Foundation, Intermediate and Upper Intermediate Levels in only 9 months. This is a big achievement because these courses would usually take a student 18 months to complete. Not only did she complete these courses over a really short time, she also did this while acing her exams. Tracy achieved an amazing 92% for Bookkeeping to Trial Balance and 90% for her Financial Statements exams. This placed her on ICB’s Top Achievers list twice.

How has she achieved all of this?

Tracy explains that she tried to study on her own before, but wasn’t successful. With SACOB’s on-going support and encouragement in the Blended Classes, she was able to study and be successful.She describes SACOB’s Blended Learning classes as “brilliant”. She goes on to say, “As a distance learning student, when you have too much time on your hands, you end up leaving things for the last minute. SACOB’s Blended Learning classes encourages you to stay on track and get the work done.”

She also describes the support from the lecturers as integral to her success by saying, “The lecturers also go out of your way if you’re stuck. They make it easy to ask questions, and even avail themselves after classes. They motivate you to keep going.”

Tracy also attributes her success to the support and engagement she received from her peers in the contact classes. She says, “We worked as a team. We supported each other. No question was too stupid to be asked.”

To encourage people in a similar position as herself, Tracy says, “Don’t give up. Go for it. Don’t ever doubt yourself. You can do anything at any age.”

This is the Qualification Tracy Enroled in.
