Moataz AmroIncome and Sales Tax ExpertThe course is excellent and very useful… valuable scientific material, and the lecturer is a true academic figure. We learned a lot from him; a clear explanation style and simplified practical application that you understand quickly… Sarh provided all services, from halls to course tools, in a distinctive way. I have been studying courses at Sarh for more than 15 years, took more than 10 courses and many workshops, and passed 4 certificates, and they had a major role in my professional, practical, and career development in accounting and professional certifications.. All respect and appreciation to you, and many thanks to Dr. / Hossam Khaddash and Mr. / Bashar Khaddash. Wishing you success
Hossam YousefIncome and Sales Tax ExpertWith all meanings of appreciation and gratitude, I extend my sincere thanks to Sarh Center, represented by its management and the teaching staff. They provided us with all facilities and equipment, including halls, scientific materials, and a highly competent professional academic team, enabling us to pass the strongest professional certifications in accounting. Throughout my journey in professional certifications, I have obtained many of them, by the grace of God and then through Sarh Center, which we can consider ‘Sarh University.’ I obtained several professional certifications at Sarh Center, including the Tax Expert certificate. Through the course, I took the Income and Sales Tax Experts Association exam and succeeded in both papers on the same day. This had a significant impact on my career, as the course increased my ability and efficiency in understanding and applying income and sales tax law, which enabled me to establish an accounting and tax services firm where we welcome various types of clients and companies. My advice to all accounting graduates is to start obtaining professional certifications to develop and improve their resumes. I recommend Sarh Center for its great capabilities, scientific materials, and professional figures who facilitate candidates in passing exams and obtaining these certifications.
