Latest news - Algarve Case Study course (July 2024)
We are delighted to announce our in-person Case Study course in the Algarve, Portugal! The course kicks off in early June 2024.
This is the only in-person course that Martin (our founding tutor who has helped over 2,000 students pass Case Study) will be teaching for the July 2024 sitting.
Martin has taught 3 Case Study prize winners, including Kieran Doe of ACA Masters, David Watson who failed with another provider but won a regional prize after taking Martin's course and Laura Grundy who failed 3 times with other providers and then won a regional prize after using Martin's materials.
Martin will personally review all of your Mock attempts to provide invaluable, personalised advice.
Low classroom costs in Portugal mean that we can offer our unique 4-day Masterclass (including our pack of 5 Mocks) at a cost of just £699 (half the price of our previous UK courses).
The course fee also includes access to all our on-demand course content for Case Study (RRP £699 if purchased separately).
Daily cheap flights to Faro are available from all major UK airports.
If you need any help arranging flights or accommodation, just let us know ... we are experts in the local area.
Don't pay London prices when you can get a beer and exceptional piri-piri for EUR 10! And there's no traffic either.
To receive further details about the course, please submit your name and email address below.
IMPORTANT
We reserve the right to teach on the beach if we want!

Meet our Founder
Martin Johnson
Hi, I'm Martin. Nice to meet you.
I set up Paradigm Shift after being very underwhelmed by the tuition approach of the usual suspects. Having been a teacher for several years before starting my ACA training, I saw quite a few things that could be done better.
10 years and over 20,000 students later, I think we have been proven right and we are very proud to continue to offer an alternative and more practical approach to the ACA exams. Check out the testimonials in our Wall of Proof if you are sceptical (which you should be as there are always marks for professional scepticism in the ACA exams!).
I have now taught 12 ICAEW prize winners, including Kieran Doe who went on to found ACA Masters (and who I trained as a Case Study tutor) but while prize winners are nice to have, I actually take more pride from an overall pass rate of over 95% since we started our tuition company. This includes working with numerous students on their final attempt at the Professional Level exams.
I am a fully qualified ACA (qualifying in 2012) and I also have a first class honours degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, a Master's degree in Economics and Law and a doctorate in Economics and Law, all from the University of Oxford.
In addition to running Paradigm Shift, I have set up Key Worker Nation as I feel very strongly that Key Workers should be given a proper thank you (as opposed to some clapping) for keeping us all alive during the pandemic.
Key Worker Nation provides support to UK Key Workers and I am proud to donate 30% of the profits from Paradigm Shift to this cause. So when you study with us, it is a real win-win for all concerned (apart from our competitors).
If you need any further information, please contact me on LinkedIn using the link below, cheers!
PS. If you are looking to pass Case Study this year, please do check out the Algarve course that I will be running for both sittings. Studying is a lot easier when there is a beach to walk on during the breaks!
