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, 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.

I passed!!!
The programme guided me perfectly to identify what I was missing the first time round and gave sound advice as to how to approach each topic, with the type of confidence that even if there was a massive curveball on the day, I was able to keep my wits and make it to the other side. I appreciate you.
One tip to the new members – Even if you are unsure, have a strong opinion supported through logical thinking.
Christin is a great presenter with solid knowledge. She makes the sessions interesting and she is relatable from rescuing a cat from her stove to explaining accounting implications of a lease. Well done!
I loved it. Short enough, detailed enough etc. Works well along with a board course BECAUSE of the sessions being far apart, gives you time to breathe as well. Thanks Chriss!
Absolutely loved my review sessions – provided me with the confidence I needed and couldn’t be more grateful!
Christin was amazing and full of energy. I think everything was done perfectly. 🙂
The sessions were really good and practical (just what I needed).
I found that the classes and layout was perfectly structured.
Christin, you are absolutely amazing! You are so motivational and even though the sessions are on teams, you can just feel your positive energy and how you are rooting for us.
I am a happy customer
Thanks. It was great
Thank you for all the help over this year Christin – I really learnt a lot from you, and how to tackle the APC Exam.
Thank you for all the motivations and guidance. I learnt a lot and will definitely apply them when I prepare and write the APC.
Thank you for the course and for all your positivity throughout the year! I really learnt some great exam technique from you and I am very grateful.
The course was great. I love how you had the recordings, especially for me who lives overseas.
Thank you for an amazing course. I really learnt a lot (especially the tips on how to answer questions and approach to the IOD). I have applied a lot of these tips and found a great improvement across the different assessments
Overall I enjoyed the course, and found it helpful to hear from past students on how they overcame their challenges to succeed in the APC. Thank you for everything during the year.
I thoroughly enjoyed the past paper reviews, and learnt a lot about how best to answer questions within the APC.
I really liked the approach you took for the past paper reviews and feel it added a lot of value to me being able to understand what went wrong/right in the exams. Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed every class.
The Passing Mindset was an add on to my board course which helped to keep the momentum while building up to the final APC
Thank you for taking the time to go through both the self-assessment and the past papers. Your advice based on my self assessment and how I felt during the question or what I felt was going wrong, was just as valuable as your comments on my answers. There were some things that I feel like I’ve consistently struggled with in exams that you were able to assist me with, based on the self assessment.
Thank you for all your feedback and always being willing to still assist after our sessions
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.
