Very well organized and easy to understand. Ron, your seminars are extremely helpful to learn (simplify) the material. October, 2018
Second seminar with Ron. By far the best instructor/professor I have ever had! Makes the materials so easy to understand and makes it hard to fail upcoming exams! Preparation is so far and beyond and makes students feel extremely prepared going into the exam. August 2018
Thanks Ron, I feel much more confident going into the PMT exam. Thank you for all years of Education Support. CSC, WME, CFP and PMT! June 2018

Ron is always prepared and focuses on the important information to help you pass the exam. August 2016
Good pace and study guide. Well written. Instructor had very clear explanations. I read the book but did not feel like I was absorbing any of the material. The course summarized the main points in the course clearly and concisely. February 2015
I passed the PMT exam in mid November so I've completed all the exams for CIM. The classes and especially the quiz books were a great help in enabling me to pass the exams over a short period. I completed all 3 exams in less than 3 months. Please send my appreciation to Ron for his clear explanations, excellent examples for various problems, his great sense of humour and incredible stamina. His techniques for remembering important concepts were very original and certainly of immense help. Thank you! November 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
Ron Foran is a pro’s pro in all aspects. He presented a huge amount of information in a precise, well paced manner. Not only did I pass the exams but I sharpened up my own investment style and knowledge. It’s a shame he does not have a sense of humor. P.S. He’s actually very funny but the last thing we need to do is encourage him! December 2013
Exceptional - the only way to learn this stuff! Good pace - not tired at the end - focused on very key points. Very helpful. October 2013
Material prepared well, focused on helping us pass the exam. I have never written an industry exam without taking a Foran course. Ron keeps everything moving. Prepares us well for the exam. April 2013
I would not write an exam without taking a Foran Seminar first. Gave me the needed confidence going into the exam. October 2013
Good amount of time dedicated to the relevant topics. (Instructor) very, very knowledgeable, always with good examples to make material relevant and therefore easy to remember. April, 2013
Amazing – very tailored toward the (course content.) Instructor was excellent – great sense of humor and helpful over the four days; simplified the overly complicated structure of the materials.
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.
I PASSED (PMT exam) I'm so thrilled, you can't imagine. I wanted to thank you so much for the help you provided. This is the 3rd exam prep course I take with Foran (LLQP, CFP) and I want to tell you that I really don't think I would have succeeded without your help. I've learned so much in your classrooms. I've also felt that you and your team really care about your students success. I know that for your business to succeed, that makes sense, however, I think it's more than just a business decision. I've felt that you truly have a passion for teaching and seeing us succeed.
