I chose Becker because it presented all the information I needed in one single place.

I am working as the Regional CFO for Asia of a global corporation. With little spare time and no Big 4 experience, I looked for course material that would keep me focused on the technical content that I needed to know for the exam. I chose Becker because it presented all information I needed in one single place. I followed the program step-by-step, waking up early most mornings, and passed all 4 exams over a 12-month period on the first attempt and with an average grade of 91. Thanks Becker!
