The HOCK Distance Learning Program (DLP) is a complete preparatory program. Unlike "self-study" systems, you will not study alone. Our experienced staff is available to answer questions, and online discussions with fellow students round out your learning experience.
Our materials are comprehensive, easy-to-read and provide exactly the right information to pass your exams. The HOCK DLP also accommodates non-native English speakers and those who don't have an academic background in U.S. accounting. All that is required is a basic understanding of accounting fundamentals and algebra.
The Study Materials "Base Package" includes electronic access to all of the components listed here. All documents can be viewed on the screen or printed. We also offer printed versions of the Textbook and Flash Cards; see the section below Optional Printed Textbooks and Printed Flash Cards.
| Textbook | The textbook is the foundation of our program and provides complete background, explanations and examples. There is no need to purchase other books or reference materials. |
| Flash Cards | Our most popular review tool, the flash cards are valuable when study time is limited. They are organized six to a page, making them convenient to carry with you for quick review anytime, anywhere. |
|
ExamSuccess Study Software | The ExamSuccess Study Software has thousands of questions, sorted by topic, along with detailed answer explanations and is a critical element of the HOCK program. Learn more about ExamSuccess. |
| Study Plan | The study plan guides you through what to focus on during the different weeks of study required for each exam, but you can adapt it to fit your individual schedule using our online Personalized Study Plan. By selecting a date to begin studying and a target exam date, a Personalized Study Plan will automatically adjust the standard Study Plans to your schedule. You can also have your Personalized Study Plan emailed to you at the beginning of each week. |
| Free Updates | We regularly update our Study Materials to reflect changes in accounting standards or the exam content, as well as to make clarifications and corrections. You will be able to download updated material at no charge whenever new materials are posted online. |
| Teacher Support | As you study, you can contact us and receive answers from our teachers who are eager to guide you when you have a specific question. The forum also provides dynamic student discussions for each of the exams, and are monitored by HOCK teachers to maintain technical accuracy. |
| Mock Exam | The mock exam with HOCK-developed questions provides a measure for your exam readiness and is a solid last review before taking the actual exams. |

All of our materials are designed for immediate worldwide delivery by download to your computer from our web site as soon as your order is processed. Using a laptop computer, you can study wherever you go without carrying any books or CDs. Our electronic delivery also ensures that you always have the most recent materials, and you can download the latest updates at any time.
Our software is compatible with Windows 2000, XP or Vista and Mac OS X 10.4 or higher. An active Internet connection is required to verify access initially on each computer, but is not required for ongoing use - all materials are stored on your computer and can be used offline..
With thousands of pages of text and hundreds of flash cards, our printing service is a great value compared to printing the material yourself or at a copy shop. When you purchase the Base Package, you can also choose to have printed textbooks and/or printed flash cards sent to you. The printed items are not available for purchase separately.
Our textbooks are printed on standard weight white paper for increased readability and durability, especially when highlighting. We use comb bindings that allow you to easily lay your book open flat on your desk. A 3-hole punch paper option is also available if you prefer the convenience of being able to make your own mini-textbooks in binders.
Our flash cards are printed on card stock and are shipped in flat perforated sheets, six cards to a page. This reduces your shipping costs by allowing us to use standard paper/book size boxes. You simply pull the flash cards apart when you receive them.

Your materials are great! They are well structured and good to understand for non-native speakers. I used your textbook, flashcards, past exam problems, software and the mock exam. With your materials, I have already passed Parts 1, 2 and 3! Thanks again!
The HOCK materials are the best way of exam preparation, especially for students with English as a foreign language. I passed three parts at the first trial using the HOCK DLP.
