Foran Canadian Securities Seminar Exam One

I wanted to take the time to thank Gary for the Amazing CSC Seminars. I joined the class because I am a busy Mom of 2,  I wanted to get these two exams behind me as quickly as possible and I just didn't have the capacity in my life to teach myself this course. I had hoped from this course I would be taught enough and pass with minimal study aside from taking his class. I started the process in January 2022 and passed my last exam March 23rd.  I am so thankful to Gary!  He made it fun to learn, simplified it for me so that I didn't have to read the entire textbook and most importantly made it so easy to understand.  I never would have thought I could learn it all in 3 months. Thanks Gary! CSC1 & CSC2 2022

Perfect pacing of the content, very easy to understand vs the textbook. Ron and Gary are both very nice. November 2020

Absolutely excellent, one of the best courses and instructors (Ron and Gary) I have had. Very comfortable and much more confident in my ability to crush the exam. Very well rounded, in depth program. November 2020

Excellent presentation of course material that would be challenging during independent learning. September 2020

Excellent use of stories, real life examples, and repetition. Perfect distribution of time per chapter/ideas. Not overwhelming and great pace. August 2019

Very effective in preparing me for the exam. Focused on what the exam could be asking. October 2018

Excellent presentation of material. Gary had a wonderful way of presenting information in a relevant and interesting way. I liked the pace, materials and examples. October 2018

Enthusiastic instructor made the course material relatable and understandable. Amazing scope of material covered in 3 days, that I never would have absorbed on my own. Many real world, relevant examples that made complex topics understandable. Highly recommended. October 2018

Great seminar! Helped make things clear and easy to understand. I'm more confident taking the exam. Good tips gave me a better understanding of the content. Gary was easy to understand and interesting to listen to.

Gary had a very relaxed but very informative way to each the materials. Clear and easy to follow. came out with a much better understanding. Long three days but worth it. Recommend for anyone writing the CSC.

For somebody like me who has no background in the financial world this seminar really broke the material down and helped me understand the content. Credit to Gary as well for being able to teach it this way. March 2018

Great way to understand information. Fantastic concepts and notes. Easy flowing. March 2018

Very well organized. Amazing Instructor, very thorough explanations. January 2018

Very helpful and a great exam prep! January 2018

Excellent Seminar! January 2018

Was very helpful! Helped me understand the information in the book, the concepts and math. January 2018

Gary was very helpful in giving us techniques to help us in understanding certain topics. Whether it was easy charts or sayings, definitely are engraved in my head. October 2017

If you are serious about not just passing the exam but genuinely understanding the material of this course, then you will not be disappointed!! This seminar brings the textbook learning to another level. I would highly recommend taking it to everyone. The tools make remembering and calculations so much simpler. CSC1 June 2017

Extremely helpful. Cleaned up many questions, made it easier to remember key points. CSC1 June 2017

All the information puts the CSC1 puzzle together. Thank you. CSC1 April 2017

Great content. Enjoyable learning process. Breaks things down into simple understandable concepts. CSC 1 April 2017

Loved it! I feel so much more confident after taking the course. Ron is excellent at explaining the course. CSC 1 April 2017

The seminar covered a lot of the required subject matter and emphasised those areas most likely to be featured on the exam. It is very intense and jam packed for the volume of information covered in only 3 days. Ron was an excellent instructor and made the material really accessible and easy to understand. CSC1 December 2016

All I can say is thank you! When I pass this course it will be because I came here to understand this material. You translated this course into a language I could understand. December 2016

Mr. Foran is a great instructor. Very knowledgeable and I like how he adds jokes to make some sessions interesting. Very patient and focused. December 2016

Both instructors were great. I would recommend this course to anyone looking forward to the Volume 2. The content was simplified and easy to grasp. The instructors were very knowledgeable. CSC1 March 2015

Thank you so much to Gary and Ron. I learned more here than in a full semester at my university. Fantastic! Very clear and articulate. They’re amazing teachers who take the time to explain well and clearly. CSC1 January 2015

I wrote the CSC (exams) after taking the (Foran preparation seminars) and received an overall average of 81.5%. The Foran course was extremely helpful. Going back into study mode for a course when you have been out of that mode for some time is difficult and the Foran course provides the structure to help learn the material … I am quite satisfied with the Foran course and the results I obtained.

I wanted to let you know that I have successfully passed the CSC1 & 2 exams. Your program was the key and I cannot more highly recommend these two seminars as an excellent way to prepare to write. Your seminars were the difference between costly multiple re-writes and passing the first time. I am already planning for WME next year and have already made the decision to sign up for your prep seminar before I write.

Thank you again for all your help and support. Absolutely a huge help. Breaks down complicated terms and subject matter into simple terminology. Very knowledgeable instructor, who really emphasized the parts of the material that may seem difficult and took the time necessary to help us fully understand. This course gets to the meat of the program and the techniques help you remember what was learned.

The text book material is summarized into the best course handout material I’ve ever received. The many acronyms given made remembering steps in a process or multiple items extremely easy. Ron is a natural presenter and extremely knowledgeable. You’ll enjoy the humor and see that he really enjoys teaching. I passed both CSC1 and CSC2 on first attempt with no prior formal training or experience in the field.

I wrote the CSC Vol 2 April 30th and received a 79%, I wrote Vol 1 two weeks earlier after taking you part 1 and received 84% for an overall average of 81.5%. I found the Part 2 exam more difficult than the part 1 exam with many more questions that seemed to “spilt hairs” in determining the most right answer. The Foran course was extremely helpful. Going back into study mode for a course when you have been out of that mode for some time is difficult and the Foran course provides the structure to help learn the material. As Ron states I still needed to read all of the CSC material and in fact there seemed to be many more planning type questions on the exam than I anticipated. I focused a little too much on the various formulas covered in the 3 day course. I am quite satisfied with the Foran course and the results I obtained. Thanks,

I wrote my exam on Friday as planned, and passed! Thank you so much for all your help and I know I wouldn't have been successful without your seminar! Your 3 day seminar taught me more in the 3 days than studying those books for 4 months!

I am so thankful that I came across Foran Financial in such perfect timing. Please pass on my sincere thank you to Ron. Every minute of the classroom instruction and of course the workbook was very helpful and most beneficial for both CSC exams. The examples used in the classroom, (I still recall the green sheet example – it was on my first exam) – tremendously helped me to understand and brought clarity and confidence at exam time.

I took the CSC 2 seminar back in September. I wrote the exam in early October and passed with a mark of 80%. I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Ron for all of his help. I have no previous background studies in the industry, and I truly feel that the seminars lead me to achieve an 83% in the CSC. Thanks so much and I am sure I will be taking more seminars with you guys in my future endeavors.
