I would highly recommend Universal

I would highly recommend Universal. The video lessons are engaging and breaks down topics into byte size videos. The MCQ's as well as simulations have video explanations which is very thorough and informative. The boot camp lectures are very intuitive and helpful. Dexter really takes the time to go over these lessons in detail and answer any questions you may have.

Easy videos to understand and Excellent bootcamp with great instructors

I have used Universal as a supplement to my main CPA Review course. What I love is their videos that graphically explain the material in a way I can understand the harder topics. Now that they offer the bootcamps, the live interactions with the instructors helps me feel more confident when I go into the exam. They are very responsive with questions and are willing to help me pass. With the help of Universal, I have passed both Audit and Regulation.

Universal CPA Review Has It All!

I am very happy that I signed up with Universal CPA a few weeks ago, they have it all.

The review courses include videos that discuss details about the topic with graphics , along with Study Guides, MCQs and Task Based Simulations.

The Boot Camps are awesome, they address the important CPA exam topics along with working and discussing MCQs and Simulations!

I wish I had found out about Universal CPA sooner rather than later but I now belong!

Very Useful and Easy to Understand

I had a hard time understanding the materials before using Universal. However, a lot of concepts are no longer confusing after watching Universal lectures and joining bootcamps. It helps me boost my points a lot!

Universal CPA Review course is the best!

I just started using Universal CPA Review Course like two weeks ago and I already see an improvement in my knowledge and understanding.I am a visual learner and the visual learning techniques and step-by-step explanation videos helps me to retain and recall the material easier.I used Becker before and I failed my BEC exam but since I am using Universal CPA Review course actually I started to enjoy the learning process,I Like that every single MCQ is explained in a very well detail,and I highly recommend the bootcamps. Dexter the instructor is great going over the more difficult TBS and he takes the time to make sure everyone understands it,if you have questions you are able to able to ask and he doesn’t continue until he makes sure everyone understand it well.It is a very affordable course,I wish I started my CPA journey with this course, I am 100% sure I would be a CPA my now.If you are a visual learner and you want to make sure you pass the CPA exam I would highly recommend using Universal CPA review!

Hands down amazing

I was able to pass REG and FAR using universal. I’m really enjoying the visual way of learning. I’m also studying BEC now with them and this time around I did not listen to a single lecture in Becker and did universal only and used Becker just for additional MCQs. I also signed up for their BEC bootcamp and Dexter did an amazing job going over IT (SQL, primary key, foreign key) and economics. They also offer group tutoring which I attended a few and their not that pricey and you are able to ask questions. Highly recommend giving them a try!

Excellent Program!

I’m more of a hands on visual learner and do better with breaking things down into steps. Universal has been what I was missing with my study regime! The extra bootcamp and study groups is such a great addition and have been helping me better grasp all concepts!

Universal CPA Boot camp is worth it!

Universal CPA Boot camp is worth it!

I passed BEC completing my CPA Exams. I purchased the boot camp because my main review and most reviews on the market did not present much in regards to relational databases or SQL that is on the CPA Exam. Universal's founder Joey Reeve, CPA reached out to the boot camp instructor Dexter Wadsworth, CPA and found that this is covered in the boot camp. I gave this a shot and got plugged into the boot camp experience as well as group tutoring. I did not expect to pass when I took the exam, but the proof is there. Universal "helped (me) get over the hump". Thank you, Universal!

I passed FAR & REG thanks to Universal

I passed FAR & REG thanks to Universal. I cannot thank these guys enough really… paid for Surgent - the studying videos do not align with the MCQs really… and after failing twice I came across Universal. Only after going through their lectures I understood the concepts and passed both parts with no problem.
