I work at Harbourfront Wealth Management Calgary Branch. I studied WME on my own and took exam 1 twice. My marks were ranging between 50-56%, and I was told that exam 2 was even harder than the first.
I knew I was down to my last attempt with WME exam 1, so decided to invest in the WME course that Foran Financial offers.I booked my flight and headed to Toronto. Ron and Gerry were super hands on and super easy to understand, they equipped me with what I needed for the exam.
On my 3rd attempt on WME exam 1 my mark was 75% and on my WME exam 2 my mark was 80%. I will be booking with Foran Financial for the IMT and PMT courses for the CIM designation.
I highly recommend Foran Financial! To our success!November 2018 Frederick Montilla, EPC Investment Advisor, Harbourfront Wealth Management.
In an industry and time where professional expectations from our clients and industry regulators are quite demanding, I feel that the courses offered by Foran are invaluable. We have so little time to study and absorb the course material on our own. The classroom setting allows the student to devote their time to the course material.The WME seminar provided the material in a manner which allowed me to determine what information was relevant in achieving a successful result in the exam. Both Ron and Gerry provide valuable insights. I enjoyed the five days we spent in the classroom. Please extend my appreciation and thanks to Ron and Gerry for both myself and Kelly.November 2017 Roger Quirion Quirion Financial Services.
I was in the Foran class last week and I just wanted to give you an update on my exam progress. Even though I did very well on exam #1, I could not seem to crack the case study exam so my boss sent me to Foran.
After last week I left feeling overwhelmed as it was a lot of information.I had booked exam #2 for Monday and was a little concerned I was not ready still but I could not cancel. I got my mark back today and I finally passed and I realized as I looked back it was mainly because my comprehension of taxation and the business structures and types of pension plans was much clearer due to how you explained it.My feedback for others would be the fact the second exam seems to focus on the very minor points of topics. But the extra knowledge you gave I think was the difference. I also had a better grasp of financial math.Thank you for your help. I can now breathe again knowing its finally done.November 2016 Wendy Davenport Financial Planner.
I am writing to let you know that I have successfully completed both exams on my first try and have now passed the course! I really enjoyed the seminar and plan on attending other seminars in the future!Please extend my thanks to Doug and especially Ron who really understood the way I learn and made the math portion of the class seem much less intimidating! I found it very helpful the way that Ron used very clear and relevant examples to help illustrate what he was teaching, and looking at the material from a different perspective at times to make things simpler to understand.You create a very welcoming environment and I had no hesitation to ask any questions and I had many.Thanks again so much!
I will be recommending you to everyone in the business!May 2014 Michelle Cook Investment Associate, National Bank Financial, Ottawa.
