Testimonials

I would like to thank you for creating such a wonderful program to help candidates prepare for the CFE.  With the help of the PASS program, I was able to successfully pass the CFE.

Results are out and I've passed.  Huge thanks for all your support, dedication and passion for what you do!  I always refer you guys to my friends and colleagues that are CPA candidates!

I wanted to thank you guys for your incredible CFE prep course!  I passed my CFE thanks to your brilliant program.  I am glad I signed up!  Your program is many times superior to all other programs that are out there and I am recommending it to all CFE writers that I am encountering.

Your course was an irreplaceable part of my studying and I continue to recommend it to everyone in the CPA program.

Do not get lost with different type of resources. There is a lot out there. PASS resources are all what you need to pass this exam.

Thanks so much again for all the help and resources during the process.  It was a huge help.  Couldn't have done it without PASS.

Thank you for your support leading up to the CFE. The PASS program was a sure aid in my success on the CFE.  I found it very helpful that the comprehensive course provided the methods to tackle the cases in a systematic way. I also appreciated being able to ask questions in the online classes and have you answer questions I had.

I want to thank you both for the wonderful lessons you have both taught me in preparation for the CFE.  They helped a lot and played a huge factor in me passing the exam.

I definitely could not have
done it without your help.

Repeat Writer - Just a short note to thank you for your help this year.  As you are aware, I did the CFE Day 2/3 this year again (as a repeat writer).  The technical review and practice I did through PASS gave me the boost I needed.  I passed the CFE!!! I am over the moon right now and your program helped me to get here!!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I successfully passed the CFE on my first attempt. We received an abundance of resources from the PASS program designed and carried out by you and Michael. which I really think made all the difference since not every CPA candidate has the same luxury or resources provided by their firms. I think these tools were critical to my success.

thank you so much for support in providing me excellent materials to help me PASS the CFE this year!

Thank you for your well organized and practical set of courses which helped me pass all the CPA exams on the first shot!

I want to thank you for all the support and resources from Core 1 up to the CFE.  This would not have been possible without the help fo your amazing program designed to succeed.

I'm happy to report that I passed the CFE! The CFE comprehensive course was instrumental to my success. Specifically, the  Audit lecture helped me learn how to approach each possible scenario in the CFE and the Financial Accounting lecture helped me reach depth by reminding me to tie case facts to each technical point I raised. Thank you so much for your flexibility and the program you've put together.

I am writing to you to say nothing but thank you, for all your help and support provided during your 5 day training session and your study materials.  I successfully passed the CFE this year!  Your teaching and guidance were many times far superior than what the Diploma Program (in Toronto) provided.

I was very happy with the courses you offered for both the challenge exams and the final (CFE)!

The tech videos are really helpful to catch-up tech knowledge. I listen to it while walking and even doing house keeping stuff so that I can save more time for case writing practice.  That's really great material.  Thank you for your support 

The courses you provided to me were definitely really helpful and instructive for me, so I just wanted to share my happiness with you and thanks for your great help on the writing skills and accounting techniques on the CFE.

I joined the CPA program as a legacy CGA student at the Electives stage with little idea of transitioning onto CA-type skills in case writing.  Ira was very helpful in guiding me through the technical material which gave me a solid ground on with to start my preparation.  I kept in touch with Ira through the CFE and he again helped my by providing some demystifying material on teh brand new standards, Financial Instruments and Revenue.  although the success of CFE depends largely on persisten rigou of timed case writing, the courses at PASS provided a valuable impetus towards that goal.

I just wanted to thank you for the excellent CFE case writing course you provided and the technical notes summarizing ASPE and IFRS differences. Both went a long way in preparing me for the exam and helping me pass. Keep up the good work. 

I just wanted to say another thank you for the CFE prep program, I passed the CFE. Key to success is knowing the right techniques to win the game and PASS knows what they are!

I also wanted to thank you for the insight you've shared in the various PASS videos that I have seen - I learned a lot from the Integrated Audit session and look forward to the sessions next week as well.

Just to share with you that was able to pass the day 2 and 3 of the the CFE.  I took the complete CFE course of PASS.  Thank you so much for the guidance to help me pass the exam.

I would like the opportunity to thank you again for your courses and help.  I believe it had a big impact on my successful results of the CFE!

Wanted to share with you that I passed the CFE last fall (first attempt). I would like to thank yourself and Michael for the great support you have provided throughout this journey.  It was a pleasure being part of the PASS program.

Overall the PASS learning system was fantastic.  It prepared me well for the 4 PEP Module Exams while giving me the flexibility to learn and review at my own pace and to focus on what I needed to most.

I just wanted to say WOW!  The material is amazing on how it presents just the important technical and explains it in an easy to understand and follow format.  I am rewriting my flash cards right now based on the PASS material.  I wish I had just studied using PASS since day one and I could've been multiple times more effective with my use of time.

I just found out I passed Core 1 - thank you for your awesome videos.  It was my 3rd attempt at Core 1.  I had a hard time understanding and retaining the notes from Knotia on my own.  Your videos helped me so much with understanding the logic behind the rules, especially financial reporting.  I found your mock exams harder than the actual exam which I think helped me prepare even further.  I'm so glad I bought PASS!

I personally feel that the way that the class was structured really helped me. Videos were really entertaining, and Multiple choices really useful.

I have passed Core 2 and I'm so happy I did use PASS.  The videos in Core 2 were the best as I'm a visual person.

The videos and the practice questions really helped me cope with the module better and I definitely know who I will turn in future for help with these CPA PEP courses

The pass program has been amazing in helping me prep for challenging my Core 2 exam.  PASS has been great!

I wanted to thank you for the management accounting notes as they really helped me during the CFE technical brush up.

Just wanted to thank you for the Core 1 module materials. I passed the Core 1 exam "with distinction" in the top 5% of writers. 

I could not have got anywhere near that result without the PASS courses.

The overall quality of the course was fantastic and the binder is extremely helpful.  I found that as long as you familiarized yourself with the material prior to the class, the pace of the class was perfect; it moved quick enough that I didn't get bored but not so fast that I felt lost.

PASS's notes were very helpful in passing my exams. The notes and videos are very easy to understand, and the practice questions/cases served as a great primer for the exams.

Just wanted to thank you again for providing an amazing crash course for the CPA PEP Module Exams. I learned last week that I was successful in my first attempt at the tax and assurance exams! Don't think I would have done as well had I just studied on my own with my own material.

You guys have done a phenomenal job with the course as I scored very well on the Core 1 and Tax modules. Your notes are very comprehensive and the mock exams were a lot more difficult than the actual exam, which made me well prepared.

Thank you so much for your course materials, content and coming to Ryerson a couple years ago and sharing your insights on how many exams to challenge and in what order. I've passed all four in the spring and summer and could not have done it without you. 

The PASS courses were an incredible supplement to my self-study plan. I was able to ask any questions in class that I stumbled upon while studying by myself, which really helped. I felt fully prepared before the challenge exams!

Your study material really helped - I passed my Core 2

Very useful.  Good enough material to help you pass the challenge exams.

PASS has been very helpful for my previous Core 1 and Tax PEP Module Exams - thank you for what PASS does.

I passed both Core 2 and Assurance from the December sitting. Passed with distinction (whatever that means) thanks to your content!

I just wanted to say thanks for some great course material and interesting lectures.  I was able to "PASS" all of my challenge exams the first time around.  I give a lot of credit to the PASS program and have recommended it to friends who are/will be writing.

I just wanted to let you know that I passed my tax exam on my second attempt and it is almost all thanks to your program. All of the technical notes as well as the session notes were an excellent practical approach which helped me organize the topics in my head going into the exam.

I highly recommend PASS - their smoothly structured and highly interactive Challenge Exam program and study materials guaranteed my success with the exams. The instructors are knowledgeable and offer constructive and personalized feedback which greatly benefits the process."

I passed my Tax Elective and just wanted to thank you for that! Your materials were great and I recommend it to all my friends who will be sitting for their CPA.

Thanks again for offering these sessions.  They were extremely helpful and I'm very glad to have gone through them.

Thank you for all your help and awesome practice materials and lectures.

I'm just writing to say thanks and express my appreciation for your CPA pass program. I just passed my fourth challenge exam and just wanted to say thank you to you and Michael for your well devised notes and videos, they were extremely helpful in my preparation for each challenge exam, I honestly don't know how I would have prepped without them.

I wanted to thank you both for the great videos and material provided, they were a great help in passing the Core 1 and Assurance exams!

I was thoroughly impressed with PASS and definitely owe a lot of my success to the materials provided, especially the lectures. I found your videos that share realistic exam views and scenarios to be the most beneficial. The approach taken by PASS in regards to important topics and not getting hung up on things (like pensions) was extremely useful and reassuring.

You and Michael were extremely helpful, there are numerous occasions where I sent emails at 12 and 1am and received responses almost instantly. 

I put my faith in your judgement.

PASS works if you dedicate the time and follow the guidance of Michael and yourself. 

Thanks for your help, (and for the awesome core 1 and 2 prep materials)
