The Becker CPA Review is considered to be at the top of the pile when it comes to CPA study materials. And this hype is not unfounded. This CPA Review provides extensive course materials that will help you crack the toughest exam in the Finance and Accounting field the first time around. Further, it is a course that is endorsed by the Big 4 accounting firms and government agencies for their aspiring CPAs and even subsidizes the cost of the course.
With so much going for the Becker CPA Review, let’s check out the details, an overview of the various courses offered by Becker, and the costs of the available packages.
Three packages are offered by the Becker CPA Review.
Advantage Course
Though this is the starter package of the Review course it is not short of depth and the quality of the study materials and pretty much has everything that is required to pass the exam with flying colors. But when compared to the other two more expensive Becker CPA Review courses, the practice materials and simulations are less. There are also no live classes and hence this package is taken to be essential course materials for the exam only. The Advantage course is available for $2400 but you can get it at discounted rates. Among the basic packages offered by other courses, this is the most expensive.
Premium Course
What makes the Premium Course of the Becker CPA Review a cut above the basic Advantage course is the unlimited access, live online classes, and more practice questions. Live online classes offer a classroom-type learning experience and if this is what you prefer take this course. This is the most popular Becker Review and is the “standard” course for exam preparation. At $3000, this is again the most expensive among all standard courses though it too is available at a discount.
Pro+ Course
Even though this course is priced at $3800, an extra $800 over the Premium course, you get a lot higher value for your money, more than the extra cost. First, there are live in-person classes (different from live online classes in Premium) that are held all over the country, and if you prefer to learn through face-to-face interaction with a tutor, select the PRO+ course. Other add-ons exclusive to this course are printed flashcards, CPE for a year, and 5 hours of private 1-on-1 tutoring with a Becker CPA exam expert. This package is ideal if you are bent on passing the exam on the first attempt.
What sets the Becker CPA Review apart is that the course is mapped to the AICPA blueprints and you can be sure that the simulations and practice questions in the Review closely match the real exam scenario. However, be prepared to wade through mountains of study materials, lessons, video lectures, and practice work of Becker CPA Review.
