“This was the best SESCA course (The Accountant on the Farm: A Comprehensive Review) I have ever been on; why? Not just because the presenters know their stuff, but because they paint a scenario and then talk about the finance/tax aspects.”
Alex Spofforth
Spofforth Partners Limited
“I found the course (A Practical Tax Brush Up for Returners with Rebecca Benneyworth) really useful and informative, and it covered all the areas I was hoping it would. I found the delivery was perfect and everything was explained in a way that made it easy to understand/apply.”
Laura Elson
McCabe Ford Williams
“An excellent presenter (Louise Dunford) who clearly has an outstanding knowledge of her subject. A huge amount covered but in a very engaging and fluent manner. (Employment and Business Law Update)”
Peter Hollingsworth

“We’ll definitely be using you again, as the courses by SESCA are by far the best we’ve found.”
Helen Clements

“Giles was fantastic as always, bringing wit and humour to encourage engagement. Thanks once again for another fabulous course (Corporation Tax Update).”
Sara Pettitt

“Jez was brilliant - really likeable, clear, professional, articulate and really funny, making the course entertaining and engaging instead of a 'tick-box' ethics course. (Ethical-Decision Making for Accountants in Business).”
Charlotte Falconer

“I think the residential course is excellent as it allows us to totally concentrate on the CPD without distractions (2025 Taxation Conference).”
Melanie Dickens
