About NCA Guides
NCA Guides is a registered partnership of five seasoned and experienced tutors who are also referred to as Guides. They employ a “guide” approach because they believe that every candidate has what it takes to successfully challenge the NCA examinations and their part is to guide the candidate to success.
They understand the difficulty that the NCA examinations presents and they help candidates overcome the obstacles and difficulties in understanding the course materials and examination format. They do these through intensive classes, revisions, spot tests and exam review workshops.
They do not believe in a ‘one size fits all’ approach, their study sessions are focused on helping candidates understand the course materials in a way unique and personal to achieving their study goals.
