Very well suited to experienced industry professionals – topical, easy to relate to content but concepts clearly explained and illustrated.

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

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.
