“Irwin is a very passionate professor in the SCA BG course. He plans each lesson excellently and manages to break down the concepts in a way that is concise and easily comprehensible. I found myself struggling with the finance aspects of the course but attending Irwin’s lessons has given me new insights and developed my interest massively. ”

Thum Pei Yi, Audit, Ernst & Young

“Irwin's enthusiasm and passion has definitely rubbed off on his students and allows his students to enhance their thinking capability for this module. All thanks to him, I have achieved a pass with distinction, the only module out of the 4 technical modules which I have done so, and I believe that he deserves a lot of the credit in my achievement.”

Yap Wen Cong, Assistant Director, Ministry of Trade and Industry

“I always considered Valuation as my weak subject, so I was really worried, until I attended Irwin's class. Each session was brimming with the most essential knowledge, packaged in a very engaging and mind-stimulating manner, yet it did not drain your energy at the end of the day. Irwin recognises the commitment working professionals have and respects our limited time. No doubt, it was the best online course I have ever attended. I passed with a shocking Distinction for my BG paper. ”

Cindy Victoria, Audit Senior, Deloitte

“I attended Irwin’s SCA BG classes for Dec 2021’s sitting and with it, I was able to pass with high distinction and was the top scorer for the paper! Irwin lessons were incredibly helpful - he covered concepts in depth, and was always willing to address any questions we had. I enjoyed his lessons and this module thoroughly.”

In the capacity as my lecturer that I’ve known him, he has gone above and beyond to break down the most complex concepts into simple terms, synthesise the extensive module contents in a way that helps align his students to the key module objectives, and was always there for his students. Irwin was consistently committed to ensure his students pushed themselves and was always there to answer all of his students’ questions, whether through emails or by sacrificing his own personal time after class.”

  • Will there be any "live" classes?

    This is a self-study package and as such, there are no "live" classes. However, the lectures were prior recordings of actual classes so you do get the atmosphere of being in class, while being able to consume the content at your own pace.

  • I have more burning questions. Whom do I contact for more information?

    Write to [email protected] or drop him a WhatsApp, he has all the answers (or so he thinks).

  • Why are your prices lower than others?

    I trust this question comes from doubts about quality, rather than concerns about Irwin's livelihood.

    The simple answer is "disintermediation". Actually that's a big word. The really simple answer is that you are dealing directly with the lecturer. No middleman, no large overheads.

    What you get is pure, direct quality from your lecturer.

  • Do you have a refund policy?

    Yes, we are highly confident of the quality of the course. If you wish for a refund, just write to Irwin within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked.
