Thank you doesn’t adequately express how grateful I am to Mr. Shyam, Bibin & Alsha John Mam and the Delphi Star Training Center team for aiding me in achieving my CMA goals. Particularly Shyam sir,I have to thank Shyam sir for guiding and motivating me throughout the journey. He had a unique way of explaining complex concepts with his real-life examples that made the understanding of the concepts so much easier and interesting along with complete conceptual understanding. All the presentations, mock exams, and homework assignments prepped me to handle the CMA exams in the best way possible. His tips on time management and how to answer MCQs were instrumental in helping me for focus on goal.
