Learn more about our services below.

Personal advisory and professional support

Mentoring and coaching programmes.

Comprehensive preparation programmes.

For CPA candidates who are about to begin or have already started the CPA programme, we offer individually tailored support.
This includes ongoing guidance on study structure, exam preparation and review of assignments.

The programme begins with an individual kick-off session where we discuss your goals, concerns, and professional strengths and weaknesses.
Based on this conversation, we design a preparation programme tailored to your needs.
Throughout the process, we hold follow-up sessions, review assignments, and plan your exam preparation based on your professional development and priorities.

A complete two-year mentoring and coaching programme – from the start of the CPA programme to the oral exam – costs DKK 12,000 excluding VAT.

 

Exam coaching.

Exam coaching is designed for candidates who want focused guidance and support during the exam preparation period or in connection with the exam itself.
You may want help creating an effective structure for studying and exam training ahead of the written exam – or you may have previously attempted the exam and would like support in addressing both the professional and mental challenges before your next attempt.

Ad hoc advisory sessions and coaching are normally billed on an hourly basis, although a fixed price can be agreed for smaller programmes at the outset.

 

Professional support for the CPA exam. We help ensure optimal preparation for the oral CPA exam.

The programme includes the following:

  • 4 written practice exams (4 hours each) with detailed written and oral feedback
  • 4 mock oral exams
  • Online Q&A session before the written exam
  • Online Q&A session before the oral exam
  • Participation in the course “The CPA Exam – challenging topics”
    (where we review a number of topics that candidates often find difficult in the exam)
  • Participation in the course “Getting started with written exam cases and methodology”
    (where we review the written exam methodology, structuring of answers, and typical exam cases)
  • Participation in the course “Oral exam kick-off”
    (where we review the structure, techniques and methodology of the oral exam)

Turn professional knowledge into practical exam performance

Professional programme – focused on exam preparation.

Our experience from both the written and oral CPA exam shows that most candidates who do not pass typically fail for one of two reasons:
Either due to difficulties with a small number of recurring technical topics – or because their answers within the main areas are incomplete, often due to a lack of structure and clarity.

In many cases, the risk of ending up in this situation can be reduced through targeted exam practice and thorough feedback.
At the same time, specific technical problem areas can receive focused attention.

For this reason, we offer a professional programme combining exam training and courses, focused on identifying and reducing the risk of failing the exam.

See the content of the programme in the box on the left.

    The full programme costs DKK 40,000 excluding VAT and can be structured as either a one-year or two-year programme.
    By choosing the complete programme, candidates receive a significant discount compared to purchasing courses and exam training separately.

    We also offer dedicated programmes focused specifically on either the written or the oral exam, with flexible starting dates.

    Exam training

    Exam training – written and oral

    A key prerequisite for passing the CPA exam – both written and oral – is sufficient training in the exam situation itself.

    We offer exam training in the form of both written and oral mock exams with detailed feedback afterwards.

    Our archive of exam cases is extensive, and we are happy to accommodate specific requests for topics.
    Alternatively, we tailor the exam training based on the candidate’s experience and technical challenges to ensure the greatest possible benefit.

    Exam training can be organised either as a customised training package tailored to your needs or through our ongoing exam training courses.

    See the section “Upcoming courses” below to find a session that suits you.
