Our Story
Transforming lives — since the introduction of the Euro.
In 1999, Finance Professor Brian Gordon, CFA, CFP, CIM, MBA, FCSI, had a ground-breaking revelation: exam success isn't about making the honour roll or learning everthing there is to know. It's about passing — matching the right prep efforts at the appropriate depth to the big-picture goal, and using the right guidance and study supports to comfortably get you there.
Prof. Gordon initially developed his study solutions for use in his own exam prep journey. His vision of what exam prep could be based on his years of personal experience and feedback from countless candidates about their own study struggles, led him to innovate his painless and powerful no-nonsense approach to passing. And with that, Exam Success™ was born.
Today, more than two decades later, Prof. Gordon continues to be the key spark for company innovation and the leading force behind Exam Success' lessons and materials. His signature study methodology and solutions have helped thousands of aspirants pass their exams and get ahead in life, fueling the Toronto-based exam prep company's international growth and 5-star reputation.
