Best Teacher I've ever had! November 2019
This is the best and most disciplined way to prepare for this exam! May 2019
What I liked best? Having Ron put the text book into a matter of flow, not chapter by chapter. Building a base of information each day. The work book and quiz book! May 2019
Ron has a great way of explaining concepts so they are memorable and you can understand. He is funny and truly cares that we are learning this information. Amazing course, and I don't think I could do this without Ron's instruction. May 2019
Worth the price of entry. Excellent review and prep course. Liked the focused approach. May 2019

The result provides student with the means to successfully write and pass the exam. Excellent tips to memorize certain teachings. Really appreciated the math work and case study. October 2017
Extremely useful – not sure I could have done CIM without this seminar. Limited math skills make formulas difficult to grasp by reading alone. Ron explains concepts behind formulas. Excellent teacher – great energy and stamina. Merci! October 2017
Excellent – I will be back! Ron really takes the guess work out. He brought it down to a level that everyone could understand with ease; used examples and humor to get the facts across and made it so easy to understand. It was amazing. Thank you. October 2017

Very in-depth. I believe this will be very helpful. Ron is very well versed. His knowledge and experience are great. I learned a lot and it was a great summary of the required material for the exam. November 2016
Very well suited to experienced industry professionals – topical, easy to relate to content but concepts clearly explained and illustrated. Instructor was concise, clear and obviously experienced – knows the purpose of this exam for most of us taking the course. Focus on material needed for testing success, rather than the entire body of material. November 2016
Ron offers a very well structured approach to understanding 100 hours of course material in four days. November 2016
Lots of material to cover, but it was well organized and presented. Very knowledgeable and helpful with his learning/memorizing techniques. November 2016
I am following up as per your request. I wrote both exams on Friday past - one at 9am and one at 2pm - and passed with flying colours!! And I can assure you I attribute a large part of that to Ron's classes and teaching....thanks so much. November 2016

Thanks for being so organized and diligent on both the content and the process. Really enjoyed your style Ron. You take a ton of September 2014
I have completed IMT, PMT and CSC since April. A lot of work which could not have happened without your superb classes. Thank you for the courses. They were worth every dime. I really appreciated your methodology for covering such vast amounts of terrain. The endless stream of puns and witicisms all helped digest the large amounts of material. June 2014
I wanted to say thank you as I just successfully completed my PMT and have now attained my CIM. I managed to complete both courses in just over 2 months. Your seminars and notes were very helpful to aid me in successfully completing the exams. Thanks again. March 2014
Just excellent. Absolutely worth the time and cost – an excellent investment! (And) a superior instructor who was able to teach February 2014
Ron was (as always) SUPER great…..it’s the ONLY way to do one of these courses….for sure. January, 2014
(This) seminar teaches you everything you need to know to pass the exam. Excellent teacher. Knows his material. Taught the course so everyone could understand. January, 2014
The seminar provided a great deal of clarity on areas that were unclear. Ron and Doug know exactly what I need to accomplish (my goal for) this program. June, 2013
I passed both the IMT course and the PMT course thanks in large part to attending Foran's preparation seminars. (The instructor) focused on key concepts, terms and formulae and demonstrated a real mastery of the material. One of the most professional instructors that I have ever had. I would recommend his seminars to anyone.
