I am preparing for CMA Part 2. I just want to say thank you because HOCK enables me to study without leaving my office and without disturbing my job timings. For that I can only say these simple words: HOCK material is the best.

Mehdi Raza, July 2010 (United Arab Emirates)

I really like your scholarly and complete, yet easy to understand, explanations and examples of difficult concepts. You anticipate our questions and fill in the details everyone really wants to ask. I would not have been able to pass Part 3 on the first attempt without the HOCK tools!

Steven Burgeman, July 2010 (United States)

I was very impressed with the HOCK material and the service provided. The reading material is geared towards those who may be learning the subjects for the first time, unlike other material on the market. The ExamSuccess questions are effective at simulating the actual exam environment. I fully recommend HOCK, and have already ordered the material for my final certification test.

Jeff Myers, July 2010 (United States)

I would like to thank the HOCK team for your materials and forum. I initially took the Old CMA Part 3 in May having used a competitor's study materials and failed. Disheartening! A friend suggested your materials and I got them immediately and found them MUCH better than the competitor's material and as a result I just passed. THANKS! Your product and services are absolutely fabulous! I have already given the recommendation to my management staff and co-workers to use HOCK!

Lann, July 2010 (United States)

As I finish up the CMA exams, I really want to thank those who contributed to my success, especially the great Mr. Brain Hock and the HOCK team. I benefited so much from the HOCK CMA materials, especially with the class recording that provide class learning, so I highly recommend HOCK materials to everyone who wants to be a CMA.

Adil Adam, June 2010 (Saudi Arabia)

I just took the CMA Part 1 exam yesterday morning and your study materials did a great job preparing me for the exam. There was not a single question that surprised me, so I feel like the scope of the materials was quite sufficient. I feel that the ExamSuccess questions contained a much larger quantity of the questions needing more complex calculations than the representation of those I saw on the exam, but this certainly didn't hurt in preparing.

Philip Vorreiter, June 2010 (United States)

The quality of the textbook, flash cards, and ExamSuccess is almost perfect. Being a French native speaker and having passed the exam on the first attempt proves that HOCK methodology is excellent. Also, the availability of Lynn and Kevin and the speed of their answers when asking questions was amazing. Thank you very much!

Serge Rozat, June 2010 (Switzerland)

Dear HOCK Team, Your Study Materials are just great and comprehensive. Thanks a lot!

Martin Schweizer, June 2010 (Switzerland)

I wanted to let you know that I have passed CMA Part 4 and have completed my two-year journey to achieve my CMA certification. Many many thanks to HOCK international; I used only HOCK material for my exam preparation. I found the exam material very well organized and it gives enough information to pass the exams. Your prompt responses to my questions were very helpful in clarifying the concepts. Thank you.

Sanjiv Agrawal, June 2010 (United States)

I passed all of the CMA exams within 3 months, all on the first attempt! Thank you HOCK for excellent training materials, especially thank you Lynn for your kind answers to all of my questions.

Nguyen Longson, June 2010 (Russia)

Dear HOCK international team - Thank you for your job well done in preparing candidates to sit for the exams. All of the materials prepared me very well to feel confident on the real exam and pass it on the first try. Thank you again!

Ainur Baitkhanova, May 2010 (Kazakhstan)

I want to thank you for creating the easiest way to understand all of the topics that are being tested. The HOCK program is the perfect tool towards success. No more worries for difficult topics, the HOCK program will make those easier for you to understand... thank you HOCK!!

Leah L. del Barrio, May 2010 (United Arab Emirates)

With HOCK I saved hundreds of dollars and passed all three Parts of the CIA exam in my first attempt (I have a waiver for Part 4). HOCK is good enough to stand alone absent of supplemental study materials.

Chris Whalen, April 2010 (United States)

I have tried other material from your competitors, but yours is far superior. HOCK international has the gift of taking difficult topics and simplifying them. Before I found HOCK, I felt frustrated with the material your competitors carried, besides being pricey. After I started reading your textbooks, I found myself surprisingly understanding the material better and correctly answering questions. This inspired me, motivated me, and gave me hope. I would also like to congratulate HOCK on the Class Recordings - they are excellent. After a two hour study session last night, I added an extra hour into my study schedule while taking care of chores around the house listening attentively to the recordings. Keep up the good work.

David Gonzalez, March 2010 (United States)

I just want to thank HOCK for all of your support during my CIA preparation. I passed the exams in one sitting and found your materials to be really useful. I'm glad that I purchased HOCK for my CIA exams.

Pamela Joy Lagrosa, March 2010 (Philippines)

The study material is precise and concise. It is written in a well-structured manner. The content is easy to understand because it is supported by good examples and CMA adapted questions. I also want to thank the whole HOCK team for the quick feedback on students' requests.

Yassir Chbouki, March 2010 (United States)

I used another study program for Parts 1 and 2 that "guarantee you pass the 1st time or a full refund." I failed Part 1 once and Part 2 twice using that program. I decided to use HOCK for Part 3 due to the fact that they don't offer a guarantee - however, they provide a percentage of people who pass the exams on the first time using their study materials. Needless to say, I passed Part 3 on my first try using HOCK's Study Materials. I definitely think that the HOCK study materials are much more helpful than the others that I've used in the past.

Dianne Wells, February 2010 (United States)

I wanted to pass CIA Part 4 that many people avoid and switch to CCSA instead. You assisted me in passing this difficult Part of the CIA Exam. I commend your simple English language. As a South African I understood your style easily and that is the reason I passed the first time. You are also more detailed in your explanations.

Mandla Mthombeni, February 2010 (South Africa)

I just passed CIA Parts 1 and 2 on my first attempt and I wanted to drop you a line to say thank you. I especially appreciate the help you've given me through the Forum. Thank you!

Sissel Heiberg, February 2010 (United Kingdom)

I just wanted to send along a note of thanks for the great materials. I took and passed all 4 CMA exams in a 3 month window (September 1st through December 1st). The only materials I used were HOCK's, and I still reference them for my work.

Nate Jenson, February 2010 (United States)

Thank you very much for everything you did to help me pass all the 4 Parts in my first attempt in a single 4 month testing window (September '09 through December '09). I couldn't have done it without your excellent study materials and support. With a full time job and travel, your combination of top notch study material and all of the support resources (including ExamSuccess and highly responsive feedback on candidate questions) was the best aid for succeeding on the CMA exam. I'm confident that only your material provides the right framework of key concepts beyond what's needed to just pass the exam. Thank you!!

Gautham T., February 2010 (United States)

Your CMA study materials are great - very easy to understand! I have passed Parts 2, 3 and 4 on my first attempt - solely using your materials. Your textbooks unleashed/demystified the complexities of CMA exam. The Class Recordings are fantastic and Brian is a great teacher. Lynn's support was fabulous - I can't believe how she could reply to my e-mails so promptly. She answered my questions clearly and in a simplified fashion. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

Paul Zamorano, February 2010 (United Kingdom)

I used the HOCK study materials for Parts 1-3, and I passed all three exams on the first try. I have found that the study material covered everything I needed to prepare adequately. ExamSuccess was a great tool for absorbing the study material and learning to answer questions in the time allotted for the exam!

Bjorn de Mander, February 2010 (United States)

HOCK's customer service, materials, and responsiveness are top notch. You will receive a detailed response to your request or question very quickly. The stellar service combined with the comprehensive materials certainly sets HOCK above the competition.

Courtney Brown, January 2010 (United States)

I tried most of the "big name" CMA preparation systems, and have found that HOCK international is by far the best. It is laid out and in language such that it is much easier to understand the material, which makes it easier to retain. I used only HOCK for Part 1 and passed with an excellent score of 640. There was not a single question that I was not prepared to answer. I will not use any other system to finish my CMA Exams.

Eric Lawlor, December 2009 (United States)

I would like to express my happiness and share it with you because I passed Part 1 using HOCK material on the first attempt. Everything in the exam was in the textbook, and I didn't need any other references. HOCK material was more than enough, it's just what a candidate needs for success.

Rawad Shaker, November 2009 (United Arab Emirates)

I am happy to inform you that I cleared the CMA Part 1 exam last Friday. I would like to thank you for all of your help and for the prompt replies to my numerous questions, which were always very detailed and well explained. I was taking an exam after nearly 8 years and I sincerely thank HOCK international for all of their support.

Nikhil Padmanabhan, November 2009 (India)

I sincerely appreciate your help and support. I spent only 4 weeks studying for CMA Part 3 (with my full-time work) and I passed with a very good score! You are making CMA topics so easy to understand and pass. Without HOCK, or with using other study materials, this would have been so impossible.

Wael Hamdan, November 2009 (Jordan)

I am writing this to HOCK international to say "Thank You Very Much!" With the great study material, I passed all three parts at the first shot in ONE MONTH! ExamSuccess is the most important element, and the explanations to every question are most helpful. I truly and strongly appreciate the great resources from HOCK, which helped me to study very efficiently and effectively. I definitely will order the study material from HOCK for Part 4!

Feifei Zhang, November 2009 (United States)

Overall your program was fantastic and I will certainly continue using it for the rest of the CMA exams. I was not able to commit the amount of time to studying that was recommended (due to family and work commitments just prior to my exam date) but your materials prepared me to pass the exam anyway.

Brad Caldwell, October 2009 (United States)

I am so glad to have learned about HOCK international. I am a working professional and have very limited study time at my disposal, but the HOCK materials have given me the confidence to take and pass the exam. Like other students who are aiming to be a CMA qualified professional, I am pretty sure that they would agree with me when I say that being tested on a wide-ranging and extensive subject like management accounting is quite challenging, but using HOCK materials has taken away my uncertainty and helped me believe in myself that I can pass the exam.

Judy-Lyn Ann Acebu, October 2009 (United Arab Emirates)

I passed Part 3 today. HOCK materials helped me a lot in passing the exam. I am confident that any student guided by HOCK materials will pass the exam. In my country HOCK materials have become popular because they cover the exam contents. Anyway, I give credit to you because your learning system earns it.

Abdelaziz Eltom Abdelmagid, October 2009 (Saudi Arabia)

I want to thank HOCK international for helping me prepare for and pass the CMA Part 1 exam on my first attempt. I was extremely satisfied with your study materials and was very glad I selected your company after online research of CMA exam study programs. Your materials were very well organized, easy to understand, and comprehensive. I also very much appreciated the forum and the prompt responses from Lynn - this was invaluable to my learning the concepts.

John Tyson, September 2009 (United States)

The HOCK self-study program is fantastic and helped me considerably - I can't imagine doing this without them!

Mike Trehearne, September 2009 (United States)

I used HOCK for all of the CMA exams. In the beginning, I coupled HOCK with competitors' programs, but the closer I got to test time, the more I relied on HOCK. For Part 4, I relied solely on HOCK. Each scenario on the exam had been discussed fully in the HOCK material.

The HOCK materials are written in a clear and concise manner and are not about memorizing formulas, but understanding the concepts. Even more important than passing the exams and becoming a CMA, I have actually incorporated information learned during my studies into my job. This has made me even more effective as the CFO of a nonprofit organization. I cannot thank HOCK enough. The materials seems to get better and better each time I have used them.

Hazel Duncan, August 2009 (United States)

The HOCK textbook is easily understood, even by people who have limited accounting background. I appreciate this. The thing I like most about HOCK is their people. They respond to email and questions very quickly and kindly.

Huifang Zhou, July 2009 (United States)

I would like to point out that the HOCK team is very efficient in helping, advising and replying to questions. Thanks HOCK for my Part 1 Pass!

Candice Chetty, June 2009 (South Africa)

Thank you very much for providing such easy-to-study materials with smooth information flow. I have done two parts and I used only your study materials, and I passed easily on the first attempt.

Wael Hamdan, June 2009 (Jordan)

All through my journey to certification, the HOCK forum has been an immense help for me. Considering my experience with other CMA forums, HOCK is far ahead in terms of quality. It would not be an exaggeration to say that rarely does a single day pass without visiting your forum. Thank you very much for all your timely support.

Kalam Achi Chillimmal, June 2009 (United Arab Emirates)

Your materials are wonderful. It took me a long time to prepare for this exam but that was just because there was so much to re-learn (I've been out of school for a bit longer than I'd like to admit) and I work full time. I also really appreciate the fact that you are constantly updating your materials and that the updates are included in the purchase price! Thank you!

Karen MacKenzie, June 2009 (United States)

The last time I really studied accounting theory and practice was about 10 years ago. I was apprehensive about how much I would remember for CMA Part 2. Your materials were tremendous at getting to the point and presenting the necessary concepts tested on the exam.

Bob Venus, June 2009 (United States)

I would like to extend my personal compliments to HOCK. I spent 11 months working with a competitor's materials and felt fully frustrated as to how unprepared I was for the exam. In desperation I searched and found HOCK, and after reading reviews on the product, decided it was worth the money if it helped me get prepared for the exam. After using HOCK for one month, I felt that I had learned more in that short period of time than I had in the 11 months prior. I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated the feeling of being prepared to pass the test when I walked into the test center last Saturday.

Lynne Ruehl-Buescher, June 2009 (United States)

The HOCK materials were spot on, and I knew just what to expect from the actual exam. After going through all of the Exam Success questions and taking multiple practice tests, I was perfectly prepared for the real exam. Not only did I finish in the same time and with the same score as on my practice runs, but I couldn't wait to get home and check the HOCK book for the questions I know I missed. Everything is right there in the book. All said and done, I'm now looking forward to Parts 2, 3, and 4.

Spencer Wolf, June 2009 (United States)

Thank you very much for your answer and explanation. I passed successfully the exam for Part 3 today in Geneva. I'm very happy to pass it the 1st time. Thank you again for your excellent study material. It helps me so much to achieve my goal.

Anne, May 2009 (Switzerland)

HOCK international provides a study plan for the written and audio study materials that shows how to break all the material down into manageable sections, suggests the approximate time that should be spent on each section, and how in-depth to study the different sections. For me, the combination of the textbook, flash cards, and Class Recordings works great. I think that if any one of these tools were not used, I would not have passed the exam.

Chris Leavitt, May 2009 (United States)

I am really glad that I chose HOCK as my CMA study resource. I studied the textbooks and did a lot of quizzes on ExamSuccess, and that was enough for me to pass Parts 1, 2 and 3 on the first attempt.

Christine Elias, May 2009 (Jordan)

I am very thankful that HOCK made the effort to coordinate and integrate the required CIA testing material. Some other products are very disjointed and difficult to follow, and I think that is a function of the original IIA syllabus. Your textbook is a great improvement.

Jean, May 2009 (United States)

I would like to thank you for the great CIA Study Materials and for the fast customer support and prompt responses.

Alaa Almunayer, April 2009 (Jordan)

I passed CMA Part 1 in January and Part 3 at the end of February using HOCK's Study Materials. I feel that the HOCK materials reflect what's on the exam. Thank you for your helpful material.

Julia Vajrala, March 2009 (United States)

I would like to thank HOCK international for the perfect material that helped me to pass the exam for Parts 1 & 2... once again thank you HOCK and all of the individuals who participated to complete the material.

Nizar Ayed Abu Lebdeh, March 2009 (Jordan)

I have read only HOCK and successfully passed CMA Part 1 on the first chance. I think it is the most cost effective study materials for the CMA and I keep no reservation in recommending others to follow HOCK for their exam preparation.

Quamrul Dubash, March 2009 (Bangladesh)

I just passed CMA Part 3. I really appreciate your continuous help in this process. The difference between HOCK and other systems is not only the quality of the materials, but most importantly the invaluable help and support that you provide. The fact that you reply to my emails with clear answers and advice meant that I arrived at the exam with confidence.

Ramon Pena, March 2009 (Canada)

I found the HOCK program EXTREMELY helpful in preparing for the CMA exam. Even though I have been working in the industry, there are still catch phrases and information that must be learned to do well on the exam.

Melissa Roberts, February 2009 (United States)

I passed CMA Part 4 with a score of 640. Thanks to HOCK team for their comprehensive materials and assistance. I will always recommend HOCK international to every one because it is the best.

Hamza Al Shaka'a, February 2009 (Jordan)

You enriched my knowledge and widened my wisdom by such focused, rich and needed information that made me a better accountant and thus a better CMA. You gave me a book worth 10 source books, and shortened my path at least 10 times. I will also never forget your quite excellent service and fast responses. Thank you!

Hamza Mohammad, February 2009 (Egypt)

The knowledge tested on the CMA exams is very broad. HOCK does an excellent job of focusing your studies on the exact topics on the exams.

Alex Cook, February 2009 (United States)

HOCK challenges you beyond what the exam itself can throw at you. You will be fully prepared.

Daniel Hill, February 2009 (United States)

Words are not enough to thank you. Recently I passed the CMA Part 4 Exam. When I used other materials 4 years ago, I found that passing was a dream. When I began using HOCK materials, I found it attainable. Your materials are the best, so I am also using HOCK materials for preparing for the CIA exams.

Ali Marzouk, February 2009 (Saudi Arabia)

Thanks for all of your help. I passed all four parts on the first try. That speaks for itself!

Curt Decker, February 2009 (United States)

I am happy to share the news that I have passed the CMA Part 4 exam and am finally done with the exams! I have to thank many people for their help and support. Lynn Roden and the team at HOCK - you were a wonderful source of support and guidance. I owe the passing of my exams really to your materials and strategies, and the best thing was just knowing that Lynn was always there to give that extra push or encouragement whenever I needed it (whatever day or time it was)... even at the final hour the day before an exam! My biggest advice to all other candidates who are in the process of taking the exams: if you haven't discovered HOCK - try it!

Shalini Gunawardane, February 2009 (United States)

I would like to share my joy of passing all four parts of the CMA Exam on my first attempt. I passed Part 1 in 2006 and 2, 3 and 4 in 2008. I thank the HOCK team for their good study material and support that was really helpful all along this process. I would certainly recommend HOCK to all new students seeking the CMA program.

Mohammed Fasiullah Masood, January 2009 (Saudi Arabia)

I took my CMA Part 1 exam today and passed! HOCK made the long journey look simple and easy. KUDOS!

Lynn, thanks a ton for all the support you provided to me. Kevin, thanks for replying to me with lightning speed every time I had a concern.

Archana Ramaiah, January 2009 (India)

I think that the HOCK program is quite suitable to pass the exam. It gives all necessary information and helps to study every single theme of the exam. Thank you very much. I'm going to continue my studies with HOCK.

Viktor Tsukanov, January 2009 (Russia)

I studied for Part 2 using a competing program and did not pass. HOCK was able to provide the detail and support that helped carry me to a passing score. They are patient, responsive, and thorough. I can't wait to pass the next exam!

Edward Rodriguez, December 2008 (United States)

Today I passed CMA Part 2 with a score of 630. Thanks for your help. I asked you two questions before the exam and luckily they were included in today's test.

I believe that you did a great job on the HOCK materials. Anyone who does a reasonable study of the materials, especially ExamSuccess, should be able to pass the exam.

Jessica Li, November 2008 (Canada)

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...

Iryna Beznosko, November 2008 (Ukraine)

I really liked the ExamSuccess portion of the Study Materials. Going through over 1,000 questions really prepared me for the exam. Without that, I would not have been properly prepared. HOCK offers great value at a much more reasonable price.

Chris Whalen, November 2008 (United States)

HOCK's approach helped me make sense of formulas and concepts that I truly didn't understand fully even during my MBA. I didn't feel like I was cramming for the test, rather I was understanding the concepts.

Melissa Tolleson, November 2008 (United States)

I have purchased several other programs, and your program is the best by far. It is significantly more geared as a true class, whereas the others are simple memorization. Your Class Recordings are actually classes that you don't just read out of the manual that is given; furthermore, your textbooks have significantly more detail than the others.

Another big advantage is that there is no time restriction on your program. I had to purchase a competitor's system twice because I had to push back my studies due to some huge projects at work.

Anyway, you have the best product and the best price... something very rare today.

David Collins, October 2008 (United States)

With utmost pleasure, I wish to inform you that I received today mail confirming that I passed CMA Part 4 with 570 marks. So, I completed all four parts in my first attempt. I thank HOCK for providing me with the best study material and personally thank Lynn for all the help and guidance she gave.

Sunil Appukuttan Kuttiparambil, October 2008 (Saudi Arabia)

Thanks for everything HOCK, I passed Parts 2 & 3 on my first try! When I started the preparation, it was very difficult to adjust to my studies because I've been away from school for almost 8 years. But, thanks to your excellent study materials, I had the necessary confidence to hurdle the exams. This is my formula in conquering Parts 2 & 3: CMA Success = HOCK Text + Simulation + Class Recordings + Flash Cards. I'm looking forward to passing the remaining part!

Jun Gundran, October 2008 (Philippines)

I think HOCK is great. Answers to questions occur promptly and are elaborate enough to understand more of the subjects. The materials are good and detailed enough to understand every concept.

Susanne Klein, October 2008 (United States)

Once I researched more about the exams and more importantly the difference between a "review" course and a "study" course, I realized why I had not been successful before studying with HOCK. Simply, HOCK is the best in completely preparing candidates for the CMA exam. I hope that other prospective students don't lose the opportunity of using HOCK by purchasing the other "popular" course and not reaching their mark, and then give up on achieving their CMA certification.

HOCK's objective of helping candidates pass is apparent while reading the textbook and using the flash cards. HOCK's textbook is designed more like a lecture; sometimes a point is repeated, but this serves its purpose in becoming a very friendly material, rather than a university textbook. I absolutely love the Class Recordings (especially Brian's sense of humor). Listening to the Class Recordings warms me up to the text and makes reading and highlighting of the text easier and faster.

Kiran Sinthakindi, September 2008 (India)

I passed Part 2 of the CMA exam last week. I studied HOCK materials and found them extremely helpful in my studies. In the exam I didn't need to think at all while answering the questions. Your materials covered the subjects really well and the ExamSuccess simulations helped me a lot. I would like to thank each one of you in the HOCK team for helping students succeed in the CMA exam. Even the keyboard tricks like Alt-N helped me so much that I could finish the exam with almost an hour in hand. I would definitely prefer HOCK materials among others as I personally experienced the difference, after using another provider for Part 3.

Dola Saha Roy, August 2008 (United States)

I think the HOCK materials are great the way they are. The materials enable me to efficiently and effectively get the concepts while juggling work and family. Thus far I've passed two parts on the first attempt.

Bob Venus, August 2008 (United States)

I used the HOCK materials for the first three parts so far and passed them all on the first try. Anyone that puts the proper amount of time into using the HOCK program should have good results.

David Rozell, July 2008 (United States)

HOCK is really your perfect partner in the CMA journey. HOCK's materials are comprehensive, easy to understand and complete. You should not have to read anything else.

Amir Megahed, July 2008 (Egypt)

I would like to express my thankfulness to all of the HOCK staff for the great help you gave to me through your material and your prompt response. In fact, after I followed your Study Plan and took your mock exam, I sat for the real exam and I passed it! Thank you very much.

Mohammed Tameem, July 2008 (Bahrain)

HOCK is clearly organized, concise, and well written. Lynn is amazing. ExamSuccess is flexible and provides needed feedback. Very useful in exam prep! I couldn't haven done it without HOCK materials.

Debby Simonton, July 2008 (United States)

HOCK is the way to go for preparing for the CMA exams. I had purchased a competitor's product at a much more expensive price and used it for my studies for Parts 1-3. Although I passed Part 1 in my first attempt, I failed Parts 2 and Parts 3 the first time. After failing Part 3, I decided to purchase the HOCK Study Materials and it's the best thing I could have done. I felt much more prepared to re-take the exam and passed Part 3 last week. I now have only Part 4 remaining and I plan on using HOCK's Study Material for Part 4, too.

I feel that the HOCK Study Materials provide a much more thorough preparation. They are excellent.

Emmanuel M. Kipreos, July 2008 (United States)

I just passed CMA Part 3 with a score of 580 and passed Part 1 back in April with a score of 590, both of them on the first try. Thanks to HOCK a lot.

Gultekin Savaskan, June 2008 (Turkey)

I just finished taking Part 2 of the CMA exam. By the grace of God coupled with HOCK's materials increasing my knowledge base and polishing my deductive logic skills, I passed the 1st time. Thanks for putting together a program that truly prepares us for taking these exams. I'm looking forward to knocking out the other 3 parts with HOCK's assistance. Thanks again.

Roger McClure, June 2008 (United States)

I have now passed all of the CIA exams on my first attempt. Your textbook is excellent. I could not have passed the CMA, CFM and CIA exams without your practical textbooks. Thank you very much.

Naoki Kondo, June 2008 (United States)

Your materials for CMA are the best in the market. Brian's Class Recordings are brilliant and make learning very easy and Lynn is just a godsend. HOCK got me through Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 with minimal confusion and doubt.

Sujith Thomas, June 2008 (Saudi Arabia)

HOCK helped me pass 3 Parts of the CMA exam during four months time from the first attempts. I found the HOCK study materials to be brief, and yet they covered all the topics necessary to succeed on the exams. I would also like to thank all of the HOCK employees, especially Lynn Roden, for exceptional customer service.

Marianna Shields, June 2008 (United States)

Thank you very much for your prompt support today. By the way, your product is awesome! Very easy to learn from.

Jim Martineck, May 2008 (United States)

In preparing for the CMA Exams, the most important factors to me were price, flexibility and format. I believe that HOCK's CMA Study Materials capture all three - the price is reasonable, I was able to study anytime and anywhere, and the format was perfect for me. I have so far passed both Parts 1 and 2 on the first attempt, and I firmly believe that my success is directly attributable to the HOCK system.

Scott Snowden, May 2008 (United States)

I would like to thank both the HOCK international and HOCK Training staff for their help and Study Materials. I passed all of the CMA exams on my first attempt within 2 and a half months.

Victor Punov, April 2008 (Russia)

It's been a good preparation for the exam to use the HOCK textbooks and quizzes. And if you then test your level with the ExamSuccess software, you really can be sure that you will pass the exam.

Jens Ostermann, April 2008 (Germany)

I want to thank the HOCK international team from the bottom of my heart. I can comfortably say that the HOCK study materials are the best in the market, simple to read and understand. I am sure the HOCK team has done great research in developing these materials. Please continue to do the good work. Thanks once again. HOCK rocks!

Fasiullah Masood, April 2008 (Saudi Arabia)

I am impressed by your speedy response. I never dreamed I'd get an answer, let alone a solution, on a Sunday evening. I figured, maybe tomorrow.

This is the second time I've emailed HOCK (the first time I wasn't a customer yet), and I should have learned based on how fast you replied to my first email. My hat off to your organization for making customers feel important. It's so refreshing! Thank YOU!

Martin Brown, April 2008 (United States)

You have the best materials. HOCK makes CMA easy. I am wondering how can anybody pass without HOCK materials.

Ali Marzouk, March 2008 (Saudi Arabia)

After studying with your competitor, moving to HOCK was refreshing and energizing. I truly feel that your program is the best and is structured to provide the best opportunity to pass on the first attempt. I had already taken Old Part 4 twice with no success - close but no pass. Then I purchased your CMA materials and began studying. When I took the test, I actually felt prepared. This is an excellent program with all of the tools to help anyone pass. I know that if I had started out with HOCK, I would have passed on the first try. Thank you for making my year!

Fran Lesher, February 2008 (United States)

I found the Study Materials well organized and quite sufficient to be prepared for the Part 1 Exam. Thank you so much for your competent program and expert help! I believe that using HOCK, I will pass the rest of the Parts and get a Certificate!

Saodat Berdavletova, February 2008 (Kazakhstan)

I found HOCK searching the Internet and looking for some listening in English. When I visited your website, I found so much interesting information concerning the CMA Exams I was shocked. The textbooks are very useful and full of important things. I like listening to the Class Recordings that say a lot about what we need to know for sure and saying what is less important. And what is more, I passed Part 1 thanks to your help! It is amazing you respond to e-mails so quickly and that you always try to help students as much as possible and as quickly as possible.

Tomasz Grycner, February 2008 (Poland)

I would definitely recommend the HOCK program to other candidates. I felt like I was very prepared throughout the exam. The program covered all of the essential areas needed to pass the exam confidently.

Justin Carlton, February 2008 (United States)

Thanks to everyone at Hock for providing such comprehensive study materials. I waived Part 1 (I am a CPA) and passed parts 2, 3, and 4 all on the first try using the HOCK textbooks, ExamSuccess and Class Recordings. I felt that the financial review in the Part 2 textbook was even better than the preparatory materials I had used for the financial part of the CPA exam. Thanks again to everyone at HOCK for this happy result.

Linda from San Diego, January 2008 (United States)

I have tried, at some point, most of the other CMA study programs. HOCK's program is superior to the rest, and the best value for the price.

Hazel Duncan, January 2008 (United States)

I would like to let you know that I passed my CMA exams, especially Old Part 2, only because of the excellent course material provided by HOCK.

I am very pleased with your materials and that is why I will be ordering CIA study material from you, too.

Balaji Sundararajan, December 2007 (Bahrain)

I was glad to use HOCK's materials for my preparation. They are very easy for understanding and learning. I'd like to thank Lynn Roden for her really valuable support and assistance.

Ekaterina Smirnova, December 2007 (Russia)

Thank you very much for your study materials. I would say that they consists of all necessary information for passing (no useless material). HOCK material helped me pass all four Parts in 10 months.

Zhanna Turezhanova, December 2007 (Kazakhstan)

I passed the Part 1 exam yesterday with a score of 590. Thank you Lynn, and Brian and Kevin, you have all given me so much help. Moreover, you have prepared a very great studying system.

Gan Guofu, December 2007 (China)

I would like to thank HOCK for helping me in passing the CMA Part 3. This is my first time using HOCK study materials, and I really liked their style of teaching. I have tried other CMA prep materials, and they were not as helpful. I am confident that HOCK's strategies work! A special thanks to Lynn for all of her help.

Shalini Gunawardane, December 2007 (New Zealand)

HOCK international has been so helpful. I'm sure I wouldn't have made it this far in this amount of time if I was still studying the "other" material I have from a "top" review course. And I know I wouldn't have done it with either of the other two review courses I had. I can't say enough about how well your program prepared me.

Melissa Goddard, November 2007 (United States)

I want to thank you for the excellent customer service that I received. 2 weeks before I took the exam, my computer crashed, meaning that I had no access to the study materials at home. I sent an email at 6.30 am on a Sunday morning requesting authorization to have access on a third computer, and by 8.30 am, I received an email confirming the additional access.

Nick Balaam-Reed, November 2007 (United States)

Today I passed my final part of the CMA exam thanks to HOCK. Your materials are clear, concise, and simply the best, and your customer service is excellent! Thank you!

Leon Querubin, October 2007 (United States)

I recently took, and passed, CMA Part 1. I wanted to write a quick "Thank You" to the HOCK team for providing such a solid resource for this exam. From attending an IMA meeting, I found out that only 50% of exam takers pass the 1st exam on their first attempt. This made me anxious about the exam, but if anything, your material had me over-prepared. I am looking forward to going into the last 3 exams with the confidence that I will be fully prepared thanks to your system. I have recommended your material to my accounting staff. Thanks again!

Steve Sweren, September 2007 (United States)

HOCK is the best material that any candidate can use for an efficient and effective preparation. The simple equation for success is the full utilization of all HOCK features (Textbook, Flash cards, and especially the classroom recordings). Thank you Brian, Lynn & everyone who shared in helping me pass the CMA Part 2 Exam.

Mohamed A. Fattah, September 2007 (Egypt)

From my point of view, HOCK materials are second to none in CMA review. Thanks for the quality of the materials.

Hamza Al Shaka'a, August 2007 (Jordan)

The HOCK program is very well done. The forum is clearly an excellent advantage compared to other systems. Moreover, I always got quick and clear feedback. I tried other systems as well and I have to say that HOCK is currently one of the best ways to prepare to take the CMA exams.

Frederic Chiolero, August 2007 (Switzerland)

I have passed CFM examination last month on my first attempt. I used only HOCK's textbook and questions as usual. Thank you as always.

Naoki Kondo, August 2007 (United States)

The HOCK program supplies all of the required material to successfully pass the Exams. The materials are precise, clear and digestible. Thank you for your help!

Andrey Andin, July 2007 (Kyrgyzstan)

I'm pleased to tell you that I passed CMA Part 2 yesterday with a 620! Your materials prepared me for all but maybe 1 or 2 of the questions.

Norman Wright, July 2007 (United States)

The explanations in the textbook were very thorough and helpful, and the audio files were invaluable and helped me learn the difficult concepts. Brian presents the material in terms that are easy to learn from. I remembered his memorization tricks like St. Petersburg and Albuquerque for the variances formulas.

Heather Marks, June 2007 (United States)

Thank you for all your help throughout the study process. You provide top-notch study materials along with real-time support. Following your guidelines I was able to pass all 4 exams on the first attempt, in a period of 15 months from start to finish while working 50-60 hours a week in a SOX compliance and process improvement role.

Kyle Stoffer, May 2007 (United States)

Thanks to the HOCK text, I passed all CMA exams on my first attempt even though English is a foreign language for me, and I will sit for CFM next month. The HOCK text is excellent not only for the exam, but also for practical jobs. Your text is my reference now even after passing the exams.

Naoki Kondo, May 2007 (United States)

I'm happy to inform you that I passed the Part 4 Exam (revised)! All 4 parts were passed on my first attempt - as HOCK promised!

I'd like to thank HOCK for the excellent study materials, and especially Lynn for her help. HOCK materials are very easy and convenient to use. I also bought the IMA Q&A for Parts 2, 3, and 4 (20-30 questions in each book), but I didn't read anything except the HOCK textbooks.

Maria Dubyaga, April 2007 (United States)

HOCK study material is by far the best. Prior to discovering HOCK, I had used a combination of [Competitor 1], [Competitor 2] and [Competitor 3]'s. While all have some good points, HOCK material is all one needs to pass. I wish I had known about HOCK when I first started out. I have since bought all the HOCK textbooks and flashcards and will keep them for years to come.

Shaun Aghili, April 2007 (United States)

HOCK not only provides the study program but also empowers the community of those who are studying in order to attain their goals. I liked the responsiveness of HOCK teacher Lynn Roden on the forums, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quick responses from the HOCK Support Team (Kevin Hock, Igor Alekseev).

Elisabeth Chertushkina, April 2007 (Russia)

I passed Old Part 4 today (my second attempt). I've used [competitor] and I definitely like your program better, especially the audio files. I listened to them back and forth from work to home. I also like the book better due to the charts & visuals as well as the little comments telling you what to focus on.

Deb Peters, April 2007 (United States)

I really thank the HOCK team firstly for their close support, and secondly for their materials. I recommend HOCK to any one in the same field.

Adil Adam, April 2007 (Saudi Arabia)

I want to thank Hock international for providing me, and other CMA candidates, with such excellent test preparation material. I took Part 2 (Revised) this past Saturday and passed on the first try with a score of 610. The textbooks, lectures, and ExamSuccess are outstanding!

Richard Schrieken, March 2007 (United States)

Thanks to your last minute help, I passed Part 1 today. The course that you have developed is very good for Part 1, covering 95% of the questions on exam. Your materials are well-written, to the point and credible.

Ales Lizr, February 2007 (United States)

I want to compliment Mr. Kevin Hock for the level of professionalism that is manifested by HOCK. I find the HOCK CMA text materials to be helpful, readable and very in-depth from a financial perspective. I consider the resources that are made available by HOCK to be absolutely invaluable in preparing for the CMA exam. In my opinion, I passed the 3rd part of the CMA exam in a single month due to the comprehensive nature of the HOCK CMA texts.

I heartily recommend HOCK materials to any student who wishes to gain an in-depth knowledge of the information that is needed to pass the CMA exam.

Mike Kucala, February 2007 (United States)

Your material is the greatest material I have read in my life. Thank you.

Tamer Abdelhazer, January 2007 (Saudi Arabia)

The HOCK study material helped me very much in passing the exams. Thank you very much for making your materials so readable and easy to use.

Omar S. Mohammed, January 2007 (Saudi Arabia)

A big part of my preparation was your testing software... I found that it really simulated the actual exam, and shaped my habit of marking questions that I want to review later and of being mindful of the time at the bottom part of the screen.

It is I who should be thanking you and your company... I just passed Part I today with a score of 650 after about 3 months of studying using your review materials and testing software. Your materials thoroughly covered the exam contents and are really value-for-money, as your review program is more reasonably priced than your competitors.

Thank you very much, and you could count on my continued patronage.

Mark Christian Neil Dimal, December 2006 (Philippines)
Certificate of Distinguished Performance Winner for 2006

You provide a very comprehensive, interesting and efficient learning program, which is rare in this combination. This makes the materials fun to work with, and guarantees success.

Markus Hans, December 2006 (Germany)
Certificate of Distinguished Performance Winner for 2006

I have passed the CMA New Part 3 with a score of 540. My words of thanks cannot adequately express my gratitude for the help, responsiveness, support and genuine concern that I have received and felt from you. I never felt like I was alone in this. Above all, I am also so glad I have met such beautiful people as you. Thank you so very much!

Dalal Alqahtani, September 2006 (Bahrain)

Very comprehensive material that covers the entire range of topics and presents the information in a very manageable form that makes the task of studying much easier to bear. I would recommend the HOCK study material to any potential candidate on the basis of their presentation of material as well as their economical price.

Kyle Stoffer, August 2006 (United States)

I thank you and your company for the great help and support. CMA Part 2 is a hard part for me and I think I could never pass the exam without your help and studying materials. I deeply appreciate your always patient and thorough explanations to my questions. The HOCK study material is the best. I am going to subscribe to your study program for Parts 3 and 4, and certainly recommend you to my colleagues who are preparing their CMA exams.

Once again, thank you very much.

Henry Xu, August 2006 (Canada)

I tried many seminars, books, and online materials, and I wasted a lot of time by doing that until I found your materials which are really great. I wish that I had discovered HOCK earlier so I could have saved more time. All candidates should save their time and go blindly to HOCK materials.

Osama Salahi, August 2006 (United Arab Emirates)

The materials were exactly what I needed. There were only a few questions on the exam I hadn't encountered in your materials. And of course I'm going to order Part 3 materials from you.

Daria Adolph-Bukowska, August 2006 (United States)

Thanks for your great materials. I prepared for two exams during hardest time at work (related with changing ERP system). So at the same time, I worked 14 hours a day, learned how SAP works, and prepared for two CMA exams. It was possible only with very good studying materials.

At times during the 2nd exam, I thought that I was still answering study questions. Half of the questions on the exam were like the ones in your program, only the numbers were different. I bought the IMA Question and Answer book, but questions in it were much easier than the ones in HOCK materials. I am completely satisfied with HOCK materials and don't want to use anything else.

Maria I. Dubyaga, July 2006 (Russia)

I just want to thank you. I have passed the exam (CMA 1) today - though I spent a month or even less for exam preparation. I believe it is because of your materials - they are very well written and designed.

Annia, July 2006 (Russia)

I had previously passed CMA Parts 1 and 3 by studying the most expensive study materials available along with another popular study material which is renowned for their test CDs. But I walked into the CMA Part 2 exam after studying HOCK materials with at least double the confidence I had in previous exams. Expensive is not always the best, HOCK proved it and I passed with 550 in my first attempt. I can tell from my experience that I had to make less effort in studying HOCK material than the other two expensive and heavily publicized materials.

Nayeem Chowdhury, June 2006 (Bangladesh)

The materials are very good for understanding the concept properly. I would like to thank HOCK for my success. Thanks to Lynn for her encouraging words always.

Rajkumar Patra, June 2006 (Oman)

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.

Markus Reihofer, June 2006 (Germany)

Thanks to HOCK Material I passed 3 parts on my first try within 5 months. I briefly tried another company's test software, but I immediately returned to HOCK because I found it much better and more efficient.

I have a finance and accounting background, but I still learned some new stuff by studying HOCK, which was useful not only for the exam but also for work.

Madjid Doreh, May 2006 (Canada)

The HOCK DLP is a very useful tool for preparation for the CMA exams. I studied all the material for Part 1 with the HOCK textbook, quizzes, flash cards (those are really great!) and audio files (those are extremely useful!) and I have managed to pass the exam even in a very strict time frame. I would like to thank Brian Hock and all the HOCK staff for excellent work.

I like this course very much and I would recommend everyone to join the DLP, as it's a pleasure to study and gain new valuable knowledge.

Irina Zhukova, May 2006 (Russia)

I just wanted to let you know that I passed the last part of my CMA exam today and I credit the HOCK study materials with my success. I started with another company's study materials and passed Part 1 using those, but heard such good things about HOCK, that I decided I would be better served to use HOCK for the other parts. As I have now completed the remaining parts, I am sure my decision was a good one.

Thanks for providing CMA candidates with such a great learning tool.

Debbi Siegmund, February 2006 (United States)

Thank you also for your great materials, I had originally failed part 3, HOCK materials made it much easier to understand and I passed with a 580.

Loretta Gaudet, December 2005 (United States)

I know I email with questions so thought I'd send a thank you in here also. I have never completely understood EPS and diluted EPS. Guess what! I get it now, and I didn't think that would ever happen. Thank you for the clarity in the book and questions on this subject. I'm sure they are all just as clear and good but when you breakthrough on a hard one for you, it sure is nice.

Kim Clark, October 2005 (United States)

I am pleased to share my happiness of passing the CMA Part 2, just today morning with the score only 560 with your goodself! I take this opportunity to thank you for your kind and valuable suggestions that played a very important role in clearing this part. Once again, I reconfirm that HOCK material is amazing!

Mohamed Abdul Rub, September 2005 (Saudi Arabia)

I would like to say thank you for this really good workbook for the CMA Part 4. Last week I took the exam with 590 points. This was my best result of all and I think for a not native speaker it's very good. The last 2 exams I used your workbooks and passed with 540 and now 590 points. Before I used other workbooks and I had only 520 and 510 points. One time I used additionally a class course. I'm convinced about the high quality of your material and I have compared it to other competitors. If I had known your material before, I would have used it as well for part 1 and 2.

The advantage of your book is the way you talk to someone. It's encouraging and you gave detailed advice to work more or less on a specific chapter. I followed your advice and this was the best I could do.

Klaus Frank, September 2004 (Germany)

Thank you for providing such excellent study materials for the Part 3 CMA Exam, which I passed with a score of 590! I became a CPA over 13 years ago and prepared for the Part 3 Exam in about 5 weeks, while maintaining my full-time work and family commitments. Your study materials helped me to focus in the right areas without wasting time pursuing topics not covered in the LOS. In fact, I didn't even look at the LOS other than a cursory review, because I became aware that the HOCK materials covered everything I needed to know to pass the exam.

Thank you also for your incredible customer service. I received clear and complete answers to all of my questions from your instructors, who were always available and helpful. I think HOCK's Distance Learning Program is superior to other programs and recommend it to anyone wishing to quickly prepare for the Exam-and pass on the first try.

Raouf Ibrahim, CPA, Sony Electronics, August 2004 (United States)

I passed the exams on my first attempt using HOCK materials, and I do not have an accounting or finance education. They are complete in all respects, so there was no need to use any additional materials. The questions I came across on the exam were very familiar to me.

Deepa Srinvasan, August 2004 (Canada)

Thank you very much for your great lessons, materials and support before the exam! After passing, I'm really grateful. They included everything one person needs to get a lot more than the 500 points needed on the exam, which is more than sufficient to pass.

Pavel Reyes Lyubushkin, August 2004 (Russia)

The HOCK material has been so helpful to me in the preparation for my past exams. It was easy for me to understand the concepts of the most difficult topics. Without the HOCK program, it would have taken me much longer to prepare for the exams.

Lana Fuller, August 2004 (United States)

The HOCK material is really well-written and explains topics clearly. I just passed Part 4 CMA with a 560! Thank you for helping me and responding so promptly to my many e-mails regarding questions that I had as I was studying.

Mandy, August 2004 (United States)
