Helping you study anytime, anywhere

The HOCK CMA Distance Learning Program

The HOCK Distance Learning Program (DLP) is a complete preparatory program. Unlike "self-study" systems, you will not study alone. Our experienced staff is available to answer questions, and online discussions with fellow students round out your learning experience.

Our materials are comprehensive, easy-to-read and provide exactly the right information to pass your exams. The HOCK DLP also accommodates non-native English speakers and those who don't have an academic background in U.S. accounting. All that is required is a basic understanding of accounting fundamentals and algebra.

The Study Materials "Base Package" - everything you need to pass the exams

The Study Materials "Base Package" includes electronic access to all of the components listed here. All documents can be viewed on the screen or printed. We also offer printed versions of the Textbook and Flash Cards; see the section below Optional Printed Textbooks and Printed Flash Cards.

Textbook	The textbook is the foundation of our program and provides complete background, explanations and examples. There is no need to purchase other books or reference materials.
Flash Cards	Our most popular review tool, the flash cards are valuable when study time is limited. They are organized six to a page, making them convenient to carry with you for quick review anytime, anywhere.
ExamSuccess Study Software	The ExamSuccess Study Software has thousands of questions, sorted by topic, along with detailed answer explanations and is a critical element of the HOCK program. Learn more about ExamSuccess.
Study Plan	The study plan guides you through what to focus on during the different weeks of study required for each exam, but you can adapt it to fit your individual schedule using our online Personalized Study Plan. By selecting a date to begin studying and a target exam date, a Personalized Study Plan will automatically adjust the standard Study Plans to your schedule. You can also have your Personalized Study Plan emailed to you at the beginning of each week.
Long Problems	By using these long problems (not multiple choice) from past exams, you gain better preparation for the more difficult questions on the exam. The long problems form the basis of preparation for the CMA Part 4 Exam.
Free Updates	We regularly update our Study Materials to reflect changes in accounting standards or the exam content, as well as to make clarifications and corrections. You will be able to download updated material at no charge whenever new materials are posted online.
Teacher Support	As you study, you can contact us and receive answers from our teachers who are eager to guide you when you have a specific question. The forum also provides dynamic student discussions for each of the exams, and are monitored by HOCK teachers to maintain technical accuracy.
Mock Exam	The mock exam with HOCK-developed questions provides a measure for your exam readiness and is a solid last review before taking the actual exams.

Class Recordings - for extra preparation in a different presentation

Teaching more than 100 days a year for over six years throughout Eastern Europe, Brian Hock is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced CMA teachers in the world. Now you can learn from him wherever you are. Unlike some competitors' audio offerings, these are complete recordings of actual classes with real students, not abbreviated versions of the textbook read aloud. The Class Recordings are in mp3 format; samples are available. Note: There are no Class Recordings for Section E of Part 1 or Section C of Part 2.

iPod nano - Now you can purchase our CMA Class Recordings pre-loaded on the just-released 3rd generation 8GB iPod nano. Your iPod nano will truly give you the ability to study anytime, anywhere. There is even plenty of room for your own music or photos. The pre-loaded iPod is available to US and Canadian customers only, and also includes access to download the Class Recordings from our web site.

Immediate access to Study Materials by download to your computer

All of our materials are designed for immediate worldwide delivery by download to your computer from our web site as soon as your order is processed. Using a laptop computer, you can study wherever you go without carrying any books or CDs. Our electronic delivery also ensures that you always have the most recent materials, and you can download the latest updates at any time.

Our software is compatible with Windows 2000, XP or Vista and Mac OS X 10.4 or higher. An active Internet connection is required to verify access initially on each computer, but is not required for ongoing use - all materials are stored on your computer and can be used offline.

Optional Printed Textbooks and Printed Flash Cards

With thousands of pages of text and hundreds of flash cards, our printing service is a great value compared to printing the material yourself or at a copy shop. When you purchase the Base Package, you can also choose to have printed textbooks and/or printed flash cards sent to you. The printed items are identical to the download versions and are not available for purchase separately.

Our textbooks are printed on standard weight white paper for increased readability and durability, especially when highlighting. We use comb bindings that allow you to easily lay your book open flat on your desk. A 3-hole punch paper option is also available if you prefer the convenience of being able to make your own mini-textbooks in binders.

Our flash cards are printed on card stock and are shipped in flat perforated sheets, six cards to a page. This reduces your shipping costs by allowing us to use standard paper/book size boxes. You simply pull the flash cards apart when you receive them.
