Becker's CPA Exam Review courses and products have helped over one million students prepare for the CPA Exam. Our flexible Self-Study, Online.
Becker Professional Education is a subsidiary of Adtalem Global Education (formerly DeVry Inc.) that offers educational resources for professionals in the areas of accounting, finance, project management, and healthcare.
Becker is best known as the largest provider of training for candidates who are preparing to sit for the United States (US) CPA Exam in order to become Certified Public Accountants.[1][2][3] Becker offers its CPA Exam Review in the form of live classes (which take place in locations throughout the US and around the world), as well as online courses, and a self-study course on disc.[4]
As a measure of its influence on the accounting industry, the AICPA's Journal of Accountancy estimated that as many as half of the CPAs in the United States have passed the CPA Exam with the help of Becker's course.[5]
Originally developed in 1957 by accountant and entrepreneur Newton Becker as a training course for fellow employees of Price Waterhouse, Becker CPA Review was launched as an independent company in Cleveland in 1960. The company grew rapidly, and by the 1980s it had classroom locations in more than 90 cities.[2] Becker eventually sold the company to DeVry in 1996, partly due to changes in the industry.[5][6]
In addition to its CPA Exam Review, Becker currently offers exam preparation for a number of other international accounting credentials: Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and Diploma in International Financial Reporting (DipIFR) certifications. Becker also provides continuing professional education (CPE) and project management training.
In 2012, Becker acquired Falcon Physician Reviews and expanded into the healthcare education field.[7] Through Falcon, Becker now offers review programs for physicians who are preparing for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX).

Freeing and Flawless
I don’t know anyone who thinks studying for the CPA is fun. BUT... I 100% think studying is much more enjoyable when I can take my quizzes, ebook, and lectures out to the park, pool, the car etc on an iPad instead of having to stay tethered to a computer indoors all day. The program is excellent because you can download any material you need on wifi then access all of the material offline which later syncs to all your other devices to update your progress. Finding the mobile app was a real game changer for my quality of life In response to concerns raised by other comments: - I’ve been able to sign into three different devices at the same time no problems - As long as you’re connected to wifi or cellular data your progress should immediately sync without issue
MCQs are great!
I always do my MCQs so much fast on a mobile device. While it’s good to get used to a desktop, the mobile app is great for quick reviews of multiple choice questions. I’m not sure, but I think the calculator had issues with keeping my values as I switched between reading the question and doing calculations this made studying for FAR difficult. But I’d still recommend getting the app. One complaint is that you have to download the whole module. I wish there was an option to download the MCQs separate from the module.
Love the application
I love this application. So convenient to study anywhere I can. But this week had several crashes and second day I could not open it. I sent email to the support. Then I decided to delete and install it again. I did it several times. And not it is back to work. I am just advising to those who have the same problem to do the same. It might work for you as well.
