I want to say thanks to Gleim as a whole for the preparation materials over the years for the CIA. I could not have passed and gotten certified without Gleim.

I successfully passed at first attempt all the parts of the CIA exam! I started with Part 3 in September and passed all the other parts in December! Despite having a full time audit job with assignments all the time around the world, I managed to pass the exam thanks to the efficient Gleim material! It is a reliable methodology, very reassuring for a full time auditor. The
personal counselors were very helpful and overall the material is very cost effective! I am so happy and confident that I've decided to pursue the CPA exam as well with Gleim's help!! Thanks Gleim!

I used the Gleim CIA Review and earned the William S. Smith bronze medal award for 3rd highest score in 2009. I was very happy with the effectiveness and efficiency of your test preparation system.

I initially used Gleim for the Certified Internal Auditor Examination (CIA). I felt that it was easy to use and was helpful at pointing me in the direction that I needed to study to successfully complete the examination. As a result, I completed every part on the first try. Subsequent to that, I used Gleim to study for the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) examination and successfully completed each part on the first try. I think both preparation materials saved me a significant amount of time and energy which was important to me since I was working full time. I also found the Gleim staff both helpful and easy to deal with. I recommend anyone who is serious in obtaining professional certifications to use Gleim.

I was exempt from Part 4 as I am a CPA, but took the other three parts this weekend and passed them. I wanted to thank you for the use of the Gleim CIA materials as they were a big help and very representative of the exam contents.

I want to let everyone know that it was the Gleim study materials and personal study counselor that was assigned that was the key to me passing the CIA exam. When I read that the pass rate was 40%, I knew that I was going to need the best study materials available. Following the Gleim five step study approach provided me with the answers,
information, and tools that I needed to take all 4 parts of the exam with the confidence necessary to PASS. I did need to retake Part 3 a second time and that is when the extra help came to my rescue. I called my assigned counselor for help and suggestions as to what I was missing and where I needed to focus my attention. Together we worked out a study plan that helped me understand the specific areas that I needed to review to maximize my study time. Following the study material and guidance from my "study coach" helped me pass Part 3 and earn the CIA designation. Thank you for all that you have done to help me achieve the CIA designation!

I did the Part 1 CIA exam yesterday and was successful. I must say the Gleim System works!!! From following the step by step preparation process of completing the reading material and doing the quizzes. I was able to use the performance graph and target my weaker areas for
revision. My Personal Counselor was also a source of support with the phone calls and emails. I was also very comfortable in the exams, the screen, and everything was familiar, and I knew how it felt to do 100 questions beforehand. The exam checklist and exam advice also gave me confidence
going into the exam. Thanks again to the Gleim team."

Thank you! I was very pleased with my experience with the Gleim CIA system. You gave me a great start by creating a personalized study plan for me and recommended the right materials for my learning style. One area that I feel sets Gleim apart is the excellent and thorough explanations of problem solutions provided. Thank you again for an awesome product - I passed on my first attempt!

I have just received an e-mail from The IIA (USA) notifying me that I am now CIA certified. I used your material 100%. I passed all three parts on the first attempts; Part 1 in August 2010, Part 2 in December 2010, Part 3 in May 2011. I got an exemption for Part 4. I would recommend anyone studying or wishing to study the CIA program to use Gleim material. Thanks a lot to the Gleim team for helping me attain such a powerful qualification.

I found Gleim's Review System to be comprehensive, informative, and extremely easy to follow. The resources and tools provided by Gleim helped me pass each section of the CIA exam with ease, and confidence. I would strongly recommend Gleim's Review System to any aspiring CIA.

The Gleim CIA Review materials are excellent. Not only do I recommend them to my students, but I used them myself when I studied for the CIA exam. As a result, I was able to pass the CIA exam on the first attempt and received one of the William S. Smith Certificate of Honor Awards. I attribute my exam results to the Gleim CIA Review materials.

The Gleim Review System was instrumental in helping me pass all four parts of the CIA exam. The books were easy to follow and the test-prep
questions sufficiently covered the topics tested on each exam. The best part about Gleim is that you get assigned to a Personal Counselor who is there to answer your questions as well as keep you on track towards meeting your review goals. I could not have earned the CIA designation without Gleim!

I would like to thank all the people at Gleim! I recently passed my CMA Part 4, and completed my journey to pursue multiple licenses, CPA, CIA and CMA. These materials are well-organized and easy to follow. Try to pursue multiple licenses just like I did after being inspired by Dr. Gleim!!

I took the CIA Part 1 Internal Audit's Role in Governance, Risk Management and Controls exam and I have been informed that I passed. I really appreciate the Gleim education materials, which allowed me to better study and pass the exam. Gleim is part of my success and I will continue to study with the Gleim System.

It was a very long and hectic journey but I was able to endure and pass each and every CIA and CMA exam on the first attempt by relying solely on Gleim. My study plan was simple! The more time I invested in your products, the more confident I felt and the closer I became to accomplishing my goals, and now it's finally over! I'm certified! Thank you for all your infinite help and support. I couldn't have done it without Gleim!

As I studied and worked through my Gleim materials, it was easy for me to see why Gleim is considered to be a premier provider for CIA Certification learning materials. My background is in IT and I have a BA in Business Administration. However, by using my Gleim materials, I was able to sufficiently refresh my understanding of all processes and also learn many things that I had never been exposed to. Every Gleim employee I have dealt with has always been very courteous, professional, supportive and encouraging along the way, which made the difference for me. To summarize, Gleim has an excellent system in place to learn the materials needed to prepare for and pass the CIA exams.

The Gleim Online, Audio, Study Guide, and Test Prep software were more than adequate to prepare me for the CIA exams. Despite a heavy work schedule, military deployment, and family challenges I was able to pass all four parts on the first try. I would definitely recommend Gleim to anyone preparing for the CIA exams.

Another happy client. I used the Gleim System for Parts I, II and III and was very pleased to have passed all on the first try. The system truly prepared me for the exams. I do not have to write Part IV so I finished the requirements for my CIA. Thank you.

I used Gleim CIA review materials exclusively, and was able to pass all parts successfully. In fact I was able to complete and pass the Part III exam at least one hour ahead of the exam allowable time because I studied every page of the Gleim book and every question on the CD-ROM. Gleim is definitely a GREAT choice. Anyone should be able to pass CIA exam easily if they use Gleim.

I passed all 4 parts of the CIA exam on my first sitting using only Gleim books and Test Prep CD-Rom. I was very satisfied with the contents and the format that Gleim Test Prep CD provided. I felt comfortable with the exam and I was always 45-50 minutes ahead of time for each part. I'd like to say a great thanks to Gleim. I am now using Gleim CPA review for my CPA exam preparation.

I would like to provide feedback in regards to the material for the CIA preparation Part I. I did take the test on February 28, 2009 with positive results. The material provided by Gleim contained sufficient information for me to prepare and pass the test. I found very helpful the online tests multiple choice Quizzes #1 and 2 as well as the true/false study questions. The fact that I have my average scores for the ten study units, helped me to identify those areas were I needed to focus and improve my weaknesses. This fact made me feel confident that I was well prepared. Thank you Gleim team.

I passed the final part for me.....Part III of the exam yesterday and
now I am certified. Used your materials 100% of the way with no other
products. Passed all the parts the first time!!!!! It is all hard work
and many hours of study but using your test products provided the study
plan I needed! The CD-Rom is a must as part of the test kit.

I completed the exam in 120 minutes. I had over an hour left to review my answers. Gleim system works. I used the book, Online, and Test Prep CD-Rom. My unofficial exam results indicate I passed Part 1 the first time. I got the feeling I was just reviewing when taking the exam. On to Part 2 and beyond.

I purchased your Gleim CPA review in August 1977 (it may have been your
2nd edition). That's after taking one of your competitor's twice. I
passed all four parts on my second try with your reviews in 1979. In
1993, I passed the CIA exam on my second try with your reviews. In
2002, I passed the EA exam, which I believe is as difficult as the CPA
exam, on my first try, again thanks to your EA Review course. I owe much
to you professionally for your courses. All that you need to pass
professional exams are Gleim review courses and a dose of perseverance.

Gleim has offered me a great hand of help to pass CIA part I, II, III, and I am very close to sit for part 4 (within one month). I would like to express my great thanks to Gleim for helping me to possess the CIA professional certification.

I am so glad it's all over - the CPA and then the CIA and I'm also glad
that I did it with Gleim. I had considered using some of the more
expensive prep courses out there that try to sell themselves as having
something extra, but in the end, it all boils down to hard work. I
passed all of the CPA and CIA exams during my first attempt using only
Gleim products.

I knew I wanted to pass the CIA exam but I wasn't sure which course
would best help me accomplish that. After having looked at and trying
several courses, I can honestly say without hesitation that Gleim is the
best. Not only are the materials relevant to the actual exam but their
staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with explaining how to best
approach the exam. If you want to pass, save yourself some time and
money and go straight to Gleim.

This is the second professional certification for which I have engaged
Gleim. The CMA being my first. When I began preparing for the CMA Exam
using Gleim's online system, I questioned some of the ideas that were
put forth. I found the idea of doing a 20-question quiz without having
studied any of the material to be really odd. I also could not believe
the suggested timeline was even possible. I just followed the
instructions and had faith that you folks knew what you were doing,
though. After taking and passing my first section of the CMA Exam I was
thoroughly impressed. One CMA credential later, I am back for the CIA
Exam and quite satisfied. I passed Part I yesterday. Thanks, Dr. Gleim!

I started out (for part 1 of the CIA) using one of your competitor's
materials. I found it to be extremely disorganized and much of it
superfluous. In my frustration, I bought the Gleim materials and
passed part 1. What a difference! The material is so much better
organized for studying and managing your time; and there are so many
more test questions to use to help reinforce the concepts.
I used only Gleim for part 2 and paid almost two thirds less than what I
would have paid your competitor. Needless to say, I am sold on Gleim.
Thanks again for your help and give my best to Dr. Gleim.

If you follow Gleim's comprehensive and integrated methodology to
prepare for the CIA exam, you will indeed pass on your first attempt.
The various means of delivering content - online, text book, audio CD,
and test prep software - both broke up the monotony of studying and
reinforced key concepts. The test prep was particularly useful in
allowing me to identify areas where I needed additional study time to be
able to demonstrate the applied knowledge required to pass the exam.

Just to let you know I passed Part III of the CIA exam. I am now
finished with everything for the certification. I was very happy with
GLEIM and much better prepared than I was for the 1st 2 parts. Even
though I passed the first 2 parts the first time, I didn't feel like the
preparation time I had put in with one of your competitor's materials
was worth the effort. I only took Part III once also.
Shirley Brown

Took my CIA Part 1 today. Your test preps are to the point, when I was
writing I thought I was doing one of those test sessions. I passed in
one hour leaving me with 76 minutes to myself. I invested a lot of time
in study and doing questions.

Yesterday, I completed section one of the CIA exam with the help of your testing software and books. The testing simulator mirrored the exam's appearances and functionalities. Thank you so much for a great product! Gleim helped me pass the CPA, and now it appears that I am well on my way to passing the CIA exam too!

I wish the Gleim CD based training and tests were around when I took the
CPA exam in 1976. My wife had been a student of Professor Gleim at the
University of Florida and still had her CPA Review books that were part of
the text used in the Advanced Accounting class. I reviewed these as I
could while working my first tax season out of college. I got passing
grades in Practice and Auditing, but got scores in the 90's on the Theory
and Law parts. I credit that to the CPA review books as I would never
have had time to go back through my text books to prepare.
In 2004, I was audit director for a major segment of a Fortune 100 company
and decided I needed to get my CIA certification. This was during the
height of Sarbanes-Oxley documentation and testing. I used the Gleim
CD-based CIA review course, mostly focusing on the sample tests to get
used to the types of questions and to make sure I know what I needed to
focus on. I managed to pass the exam in my first sitting, getting the
"William Smith Award" for one of the top scores on that exam. I really
give the credit to the Gleim study materials that were so efficiently
designed and on-point that there was little covered on the exam that I was
not prepared to answer.
I am now Chief Financial Officer for a Georgia-based insurance company and
I encourage our CPA's and CPA candidates to use Gleim for their CPE and
exam preparation.

This email is simply to convey my gratitude for your CIA complete review
system and the excellent service provided by my Personal Counselors. I
have used this product for all four parts of the CIA exam. I have also
extensively used your Test Prep CD-Rom. The results speak for
themselves! I have passed every exam on my first attempt. Now I know why
you have a money back guarantee....its impossible to fail with your
product. Of course it took a lot of dedication on my part, but your
product put me on the right track from the start. Thanks again.
