There are so many "Youtubers" and "pop up" websites out there. How do you find a trusted and competent financial industry exam prep source to rely on?

All of our study resources are created by exam prep expert Prof. Brian Gordon, CFA, CFP, CIM, MBA, FCSI. With over 20 years of experience in financial industry exam prep design and teaching, Brian is a renowned for his enthusiastic and powerful no-nonsense teaching style and study solutions that radically simplify the path to a pass. So highly sought after, his flagship CFA Program review course was acquired by education giant Kaplan Schweser.

HOME GROWN IN TORONTO

Brian officially launched Exam Success in 1999, with the motivation to create financial industry exam prep training that would set students free from their study struggles and actively engage and empower them to pass the increasingly competitive and challenging exams.

"I founded Exam Success with the basic idea that preparing to pass the exams the conventional way was too hard – that big words, 1000s of pages of dry and dense material didn’t help candidates understand the material and, that the study process didn’t have to feel like torture.” - Prof. Brian Gordon

Today, more than two decades later, combined with a passion for people and learning, Brian continues to lead Exam Success, and is hands-on in almost every aspect of the organization's operation; from content creation and prep program design to delivery and student support. So whichever Exam Success product you choose to prepare with, we can guarantee that our study solutions are exam calibre, and that our teaching style, substance, activities and energy remain consistent throughout your experience with us.

Meet Prof. Gordon

STUDY SMARTER, NOT HARDER.

Built-in ease of use is a key need for every candidate preparing for the high-stakes financial industry exams and Exam Success understands that... so every solution we deliver is designed by Prof. Brian Gordon for busy candidates who want fail-proof exam prep that makes it easier to get through the study process and eliminate any curve balls the exam sends their way.

Prof. Gordon has arguably created the briefest, most strategic, no-nonsense study solutions in the industry... powerful study solutions written in every-day language, that cut the fat, and deliver a deeper understanding of the elements of the material and skills likely to be tested on the exam.

All our products are priced in Canadian Dollars (CAD).

Exam Success is proud to be a 100% Canadian company and our prices reflect that, making our prep an even better bargain — most providers price in USD. So with Exam Success, you can be looking at a 25% or so currency advantage (you are actually keeping money in your pocket), which is nice for a change.

All fees are charged in Canadian Dollars and are subject to applicable taxes. If you are from outside of Canada, your payment will calculate the exchange rate and your final charge will be shown in Canadian dollars on either your receipt or credit card statement.

Exam Success exam prep doesn't come with a hefty USD price tag!

Exam Success accepts payments made by credit card. Credit card payment are processed instantaneously.
