Based on her support, I enrolled in the CMCA (Certified Manual and Computerized Accounting) course at Alifbyte. During the course, I had the opportunity to learn from two exceptional faculty members: Ms. Lakshmi for Advanced Excel and Mr. Sanoop for Manual and Computerized Accounting. Both Lakshmi Ma'am and Sanoop Sir are outstanding educators whose teaching brilliance deserves special appreciation. Regardless of whether the students are complete beginners or experienced professionals, they treat everyone equally and ensure that every concept is taught from the basics with great dedication and patience.

I am deeply grateful to Sanoop Sir for his extraordinary dedication and passion. Having completed my degree back in 2013, I had forgotten many core concepts.

Shafsina Anees

I’m very happy to share my experience with Alifbyte Institution. When I was searching for an Accounting course in the UAE, I came across Alifbyte through Facebook. Initially, I contacted Mr. Fazal, and later Ms. Reshma. Both of them were very helpful in understanding my requirements and guiding me towards a suitable (CMCA)course. They provided proper information and support throughout the admission process. A very special thanks to Ms. Reshma for her continuous support, patience, and excellent coordination throughout the course. She was always ready to help and guide me whenever I needed assistance. I initially joined the offline classes with Mr. Shabeer and later continued with the online classes with Mr. Sanoop. Both are excellent trainers, and I’m truly grateful for their guidance. A very special thanks to Sanoop Sir for his outstanding dedication and passion for teaching. His voice, teaching style, and the way he explains each topic makes learning easy and enjoyable. He is truly a gifted and blessed teacher who genuinely cares about the success of his students. His patience, clarity and encouragement inspired me throughout the course. Even though I am a commerce postgraduate, after completing my education I had forgotten many of the concepts I had studied. Through this course, Sanoop Sir helped me refresh my knowledge and, more importantly, gave me a clear understanding of accounting concepts and practical knowledge that I can apply. This course was a wonderful opportunity for me to rewind, refresh, and rebuild my accounting knowledge. I gained a lot of confidence and a better understanding of accounting through the training. Finally, I would like to sincerely thank everyone at Alifbyte Institution, from the office support staff to the trainers, management, and Managing Director, for their support and cooperation.I also made some wonderful friends during the course.
