When I embarked on my journey to obtain the CIA certification, I was immediately faced with a daunting but crucial decision. I had to choose between several course material providers, and after careful research and deliberation, I decided to go with Gleim, which turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
Gleim provided me with numerous resources which proved to be invaluable as I progressed through the certification and sat for the exams. The textbooks covered all the necessary areas of the CIA syllabus, and included mini practice questions after each chapter, which helped in determining how much information I retained. I also had access to video and audio lectures to solidify what was read in the text books. I was also assigned a personal counselor who assisted me with study tips and other queries I would have had along the way. However, the most valuable resource in my opinion was Gleim’s impressive test bank and practice exams, which contains numerous practice questions and explanations for incorrect answers.
Having made full use of these resources, I sat for each exam with increasing levels of confidence, which allowed me to pass all three parts of the CIA certification on the first attempt.
I would recommend Gleim to all prospective candidates of the CIA certification as well as CPA, CMA and EA. Should I decide to pursue these other certifications, I would most certainly go with Gleim once again.
