“Joining Traction to further my studies was the best decision I ever made.  I undertook the Certified Secretaries Professional Course in the academic year 2021/2022.  I learnt of Traction through a partnership program that they had with the Nairobi Branch -Law Society of Kenya. At the time, I was looking to enhance my career as a Governance expert by taking up a professional course in Governance and Certified Secretarial Practice.

I was quickly able to get information on the course requirements and fee structure through the school’s website and a follow up phone call from the school administrator.

Studying at Traction has been an amazing experience as I got to interact and study alongside several students from diverse professional backgrounds. The classes were very convenient during the pandemic time as all were held virtually. The timings of the classes being held in the evenings also accommodated those of us who are in full time employment. At the beginning of every semester, we got reading materials and revision past papers in good time. The lecturers were able to cover the syllabus in good time and go an extra mile in preparing make up classes in instances where a class was missed or if there was need for further sessions for better understanding of a topic. The lecturers would also honor requests for extra lessons requested by the students and would also make up time for one-on-one coaching and revision. Most of our lecturers being active practitioners in the Governance and CS fields was an added advantage for us as we were able to get practical experience in relation to the course work being taught in theory and in practice. With early completion of the syllabus, the lecturers were able to focus on exam preparations through revision classes. Am happy to state that with all this effort I was able to pass all my examinations in one sitting!

The course fee is very affordable and Advocates under the Nairobi Branch get to enjoy discounted prices. The school is also flexible and allows for fee payment in bits. The school administration also came in handy and handled any troubles or queries that the students experience with exam registration matters at KASNEB.

The anonymous lecturer and course feedback sessions also enabled us to give reviews and recommendations that the school took in to better our learning. The school was also able to organize various virtual stakeholder talks and engagements with those already in the industry such as Certified Secretaries, KASNEB facilitators who spoke to us on the new syllabus changes, ICS and RCPSB who spoke on registration requirements for CS.

I believe that my time at Traction has prepared me adequately to join the Certified Secretaries field with vigor. I am looking forward to coming back for the newly introduced Diploma in Corporate Governance.

Thank you, team Traction! “
