The Expert Behind Exam Success
Prof. brian Gordon CFA, CFP, CIM, MBA, FCSI
role
education
Brian was helping his Bay Street bank colleagues and friends prepare for their financial services industry exams long before he realized that he was actually teaching and loved it. By the time Brian earned his MBA and the CFA charter, he had accepted a tenured post in the Business School at Centennial College (where he taught business and finance courses for the next 14 years), and had established a highly-reputable CFA Program exam review (Canadian Academics), which was later acquired by education giant Kaplan Schweser.
Brian has been teaching students in all areas and levels of Finance for over 20 years and has motivated and inspired thousands of candidates at Exam Success and many firms, banks, brokerages and higher-level institutions including Queen's University, Concordia University, University of Toronto and Wilfrid Laurier University.
Brian has been a featured instructor at the Kaplan Schweser CFA Review Study Seminar for Financial Analysts at the University of Windsor (known as WindsorWeek), and has authored and been quoted in numerous industry publications.
Two of his many notable accomplishments include the development of the Queen's University Certificate in Financial Analysis CFA Program and the Prof. Gordon Approach, the methodology behind his distinguished and proven learning system.
One of Brian's strengths is his exceptional ability to get students to think about the goal of the exam preparation process differently, and thereby reduce their study stress.
Brian has long understood the power of financial industry standardized tests in advancing one's career but, unlike other exam prep providers, Brian is realistic about the goal of the exam and strategically focuses students on what matters to pass rather than on material mastery or perfection.
When he is not creating and teaching what many rate as the "best CFA, CFP, QAFP CIM, CSC, WME exam study materials and courses ", Brian enjoys coaching hockey as well as travelling, hiking and cycling as an escape from the downtown-Toronto city life. Rumour has it, he was once an avid canoe tripper.
