Thank you very much. I really enjoyed the way you delivered the lectures and provided us with the real life examples. That really helped me to pass. Your notes were brief and straight to the point which helped during revision. The mock itself was a good reflection of the preparation level and a great motivation to master the knowledge. It helped me to build my confidence. Overall I think your support was invaluable and you prepared us well for this exam.

I am very grateful for your very well prepared course content and delivery. You made AA quite enjoyable and manageable in what I am sure could otherwise be a very daunting slog of trial and error. Your targeted approach to what the examiner is looking for is vital and prevents wasted energy, effort and stress. It is something I have found consistent with all PAT lecturers. Something I really found useful about your approach was the many options you made available to us to direct our study. Having lecture notes as well as slides, although they carried the same content, was great. I particularly appreciated the list of past questions related to the topic at the end of each chapter/topic, and your pre-prepared study plans. Your shared experience working in an Audit function and the supplementary reading you included really helped put meat on the bones in what is otherwise very hypothetical subject matter. Great stuff, keep it up, and sincere thanks again.

I feel your approach of lectures with syllabus and exam question practice was very beneficial for me. Learning the new information through lectures, and applying it to exam question scenarios is what works best for me. The practice of ACCA exam questions is essential as when I started the questions at first I found them daunting but with the continuing practice I got a feel for what the examiner is asking and looking for. I also think AA was the most difficult ACCA subject I studied so far, so I was really delighted to pass first time with 65%. I found it a tricky subject which requires persistence to get an understanding of. Again I want to thank you for all the support with the lectures and exam focus. I have found PAT to be an excellent school with a unique culture of support for students unparalleled anywhere else.

I feel that the planning out of the course was very well laid out, topics that connected with each other were covered back to back, and if I ever had any queries, our lecturer Michael was always happy to help. I also value the fact that we had a relatively small group which had allowed our lecturer to give us individual feedback on our homework and mocks, helping us understand the subject even better, and how to improve on our mistakes. I would be happy to recommend PAT Business School to my colleagues as I felt that PAT Business School was very supportive throughout my studies, providing study resources, as well as having an outstanding lecturer. I never doubted myself going into the exam as I knew I was well prepared.

I have been studying with PAT Business School since 2023, preparing for various ACCA exams. Being in a full-time job and studying is very hard therefore structure and support received from all in PAT Business School is a key to the success. I have been recently attending the AA module, which was led by Michael Metzger. I have followed the study plan provided, actively participated in lectures and stayed on the top of homework's and mock exams. While the module wasn't my favourite, neither I had any work experience, I was exam ready 2 weeks before the ACCA exam sitting! I went to the exam stress free and passed with no problem at all, this is a great place to be!

PM is one of the most difficult ACCA exam papers and the guidance provided by the lecturer Michael Metzger from PAT Business School was essential to my success. The exam techniques approach helped with time management and to score the necessary to pass the exam.

My experience at PAT was incredibly positive. The course structure (PM) was well-designed, with a good balance between theoretical knowledge and practical applications. I found the lecturer (Michael) to be highly experienced and approachable.

I highly recommend PAT Business School to anyone considering ACCA tuition. My experience there has been incredibly positive, and the school offers everything a student needs to succeed in this challenging qualification. Pat Business School lecturer Michael Metzger has provided valuable exam techniques and tips that helped me perform at my best.

The content of the course is very interesting, Michael is very good at delivering PM subject, he can cover a lot of the content in a short period of time in a way which allows students to understand it very quickly, and then he asks the students to practice by attempting homework, quizzes, and mocks, which further reinforces the knowledge. By analogy, he is basically using a muscle building technique, which is indeed a very successful one. Michael has passion not only for the subject but also teaching, his commitment that we all understand and appreciate the subject is outstanding.

The course is very good and Michael is brilliant. Any question I had, Michael was there to answer. All the materials in the portal were very good and easy to access. The lecturer's support guidelines were top class – they build confidence for studying and preparing for exams.

I would like to thank my Strategic Business Leader lecturer, Owen O'Reilly for his incredible support throughout the study journey to the June 2023 exam, support which allowed me to pass SBL first try with more marks than I originally thought I would get. My key takeaways from my experience with PAT Business School are that, as a student, you are provided with plenty of support so that you can pass your exam, personally I enjoyed mainly the flexibility granted throughout the course was much appreciated as working full time and taking these classes part time are a challenge which is understood by the lecturer, and the mock exams that simulate the Computer Based Exam (CBE) platform and with personalised feedback were the key factors of my provider choice and I have no regrets with my choice of going with PAT Business School.

I thought the whole experience with PAT Business School from start to finish was brilliant! Owen was a fantastic tutor for SBL who gave great advice and tips that worked like a charm on exam day. His Mind Map technique was a brilliant study tool that helped right up to walking into the exam centre. I also found that the chance to take five mock exams on a platform to mimic the exam day was brilliant and really helped to get us used to the conditions we would face. The notes, class structure and Moodle website are all fantastic. Overall, I would consider anyone planning to sit the SBL exam and not take a course with PAT and Owen very foolish indeed.

I am delighted to let you know I passed the SBL, I thoroughly enjoyed the subject and the way you presented it even though I couldn't sit most of the lectures live. I wish you all the best in your future and hope your classes will always fill.

Thank you so much for the wonderful lectures and structure of the course. I will definitely be recommending anyone looking to do SBL to enrol on your course. As someone who had previously attempted SBL twice and kept getting 49%, my motivation had started going down a little. From doing the course you made the subject interesting and fun and also encouraged us to aim high. I put down 64% as my target but looking back now I could have actually aimed higher. I ended up getting 63% in the exam. I did panic a bit in the exam and my time management after the first 50mins wasn't that great. I'm glad I was able to do enough to get over the pass. Thank you once again and now I can focus on my two remaining exams.

Thank you for all your support during the SBL March exam term. Lucky to have received a positive result this morning so thank you again for all your help. I come from a training background and your delivery was brilliant and I really thought your short bitesize videos were invaluable to me, especially with my situation of only being able to study at night once the kids are down and work is under control. Your availability on email and willingness to provide feedback and advice were great too!

Owen O'Reilly is a fantastic lecturer in SBL and has some great techniques to help to get the best results you can get. He is so enthusiastic about SBL that it rubs off on you. I can't thank him enough for helping me succeed in this exam and getting me a 1st in Ireland mark.

My experience with PAT especially SBL has been great. I gave one year gap before sitting for December exam. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process of studying and classes. Owen is very supportive and motivated during classes. The classes are great and very interactive because of two way conversation between Owen and students. I personally feel the process before the practise exams are good because it explains the way to build answers using simple methods and increases self confidence.

Course is very well laid out, Owen the lecturer for SBL was great, gave techniques on how to answer questions along with study guides. Encouraged students to get an overview of the whole subject which really helped me get to grips with what SBL was about. PAT Business School gives you what you need to do well in these examinations and if you put the time in you will achieve the results needed. SBL I found difficult but was easily understood and Owen the lecturer assisted with his very useful explanations.

I found Owen O Reilly's course to be so well structured and informative and if it wasn't for Owen's constant guidance and feedback I don't think I would have passed SBL. The 5 mocks I took during that time had me really well prepared and by the time I sat the real exam, it felt like second nature.

I really enjoyed studying with PAT Business School. The course was well laid out and easy to follow, and the online setup suited me perfectly while working full time. Owen O'Reilly was an excellent lecturer, straight to the point and always supportive. His approach made the exam feel much more manageable. The whole team at PAT Business School were great to deal with and always quick to help if I had any questions.

I found studying under Owen to be quite interesting. He was brilliant from day one and explained perfectly how to answer everything. As he said we're playing tennis and giving them back everything in the question. I enjoyed my time studying under him and feel he is a true asset for PAT Business School.

I had a very positive experience while studying SBL with PAT Business School. I found the course very easy to follow and Owen's experience on how the exam is structured was very helpful. The online delivery method was excellent as it allowed me to watch the lectures live and rewatch any items for revision purposes.

I studied SBL at PAT Business School for the September 2025 exam. Unfortunately, SBL is a tough subject and when I started it and saw the content and what was required to pass the exam, I began to think it was an impossible task. Cliché as it sounds, I was fortunate to have Owen O'Reilly and the resources of the PAT Business School. Owen O'Reilly has a knack for making SBL very interesting. He has created videos (accessible through moodle) that are based on the core learning required for SBL. You can go through these videos in your own time, and this leaves time for him to dedicate the lectures to practically implementing SBL, which is how SBL is examined.

I just wanted to let you know that I passed FR. I am very happy, as it was my first attempt. I wanted to say 'THANK YOU VARY MUCH' for all your support, all your time and effort and all your belief and encouragement. I could not have done it without YOU!!! Thank you once again!!!
