In 2000, Brian Hock founded HOCK Training in Moscow, Russia, to provide classroom courses for CPA Exam preparation. Over the next decade, HOCK Training added programs for the CMA, CIA, and CFA Exams as well as several Russian-language accounting exams. Based on his experience teaching thousands of candidates in classrooms across Eastern Europe, HOCK international was founded in 2003 as a sister company to provide materials for self-study. HOCK international soon established itself as a worldwide leader in CMA self-study materials and expanded in 2006 with a complete program for the CIA Exam. In July 2011, HOCK introduced CPA materials beginning with the Regulation exam, and will release materials for the remaining exams in the upcoming months.

CMA Part 3 is the second exam (after CMA Part 1) that I passed successfully thanks to the HOCK program. Your materials are so easy to understand. I never thought I could study such subjects by myself outside the classroom, but the distance learning with you is really effective. I listened to Class Recordings, read the textbooks and practiced on ExamSuccess, and it brought good results. Thank you for your program! I am working on CMA Part 2 now...
