Preparing for the Tests

Additional SABSA white papers, texts and recommended references, together with listings of recommended events, are published regularly on the Publications and Member pages of this site.

Does SABSA Institute provide training or study programmes?

SABSA provides fifteen competency development and training courses – one for each examination module.  The content is specifically designed to cover the exam module curriculum and to develop appropriate levels of candidate competency.  To guarantee consistency and quality for candidates, all official SABSA education programmes are delivered by SABSA-accredited education partners.  Each partner must meet stringent criteria for quality and experience.  Course facilitators must:
  • Hold current SABSA Master Certificates in each of the education modules they present;
  • Have attended SABSA’s Train the Trainer coaching modules;
  • Have passed the Authorised SABSA Trainer examination module.
The SABSA training schedule is listed on the web sites of each of the accredited education partners internationally.
