The Passing Mindset started in 2021, aiming to provide support for APC Repeaters who either do not require a board course certification, cannot necessarily afford the board course repeaters programme, and/or are looking for a different perspective for the APC exam. The Passing Mindset further supports first time candidates in completing their board course.
The Passing Mindset is run by Christin Thomas CA(SA). Currently, Christin lives in London and is working full-time as an audit quality support senior manager. She was in Top Ten in ITC, and on the Honours Roll for APC. She absolutely loves to teach and is passionate about seeing others succeed.
The Passing Mindset, as the name suggests, is all about your mindset entering the exam, with sessions split into three areas:
These sessions break up the APC process into smaller phases, and techniques, tips and tricks are discussed for each phase, ensuring the candidate enters with their own personalised approach on how to tackle the exam.

Overall I enjoyed the course. Christin definitely puts alot of effort into the course structure. I would recommend The Passing Mindset to first time writers and repeat candidates 😊
Thanks you for the course, I really did appreciate it. Thanks Christin!
The Passing Mindset really helped me with my confidence and mindset throughout the whole APC period. I received practical tips which were easy to apply. Would highly recommend to any APC repeater
The course was very well facilitated. I ensured I watched all recording which assisted me in preparing me for the exam. Overall I feel the passing mindset is an excellent course for repeater that need support and direction on how to handle the APC exam
Really enjoyed the course and interaction. Would definitely recommend it to everyone I know. Chriss you are amazing and added so much value to my year. Will really miss the sessions next year as I am passing, so won’t be able to attend 😉
Christin has been very supportive throughout the year. I have applied her knowledge and techniques for my APT Board course exams and these have yielded great results. I always feel motivated and encouraged after attending her sessions. She is truly amazing and I look forward to the successful completion of the December 2022 APC as a result of the major contribution which she has played in my journey.
This was truly a wonderful programme to attend. Thank you for the way the sessions were structured, your time in planning the sessions and also always being approachable.
The sessions were great value for money and were a good use of my time. I also found the past paper review valuable as it was detailed and specific to my challenges.
These sessions were really really beneficial. APT and UCT should get some tips from you Christin.
Awesome sessions. Different perspective compared to the board courses and think the change helps.
Thank you once again for this initiative, it greatly assisted in improving my performance, confidence, and motivation. I am definitely better prepared for my preparation for APC and assessment itself.
The sessions really helped me to stay motivated throughout the year and to provide guidance in tackling the APC for a second time. I would really recommend these sessions for anyone that is writing APC.
