I took my CFP courses with Brett over 4 years ago and I came back here to give him a 5 star review. He is incredible and a powerful and engaging speaker - makes learning fun and easy. Some people are born teachers and he is one of them. I will never forget on a call he set up right before the test, he told the group "Don't worry about how someone else studied more than you or they're smarter than you, etc... you DESERVE this." I think about that all the time to this day and firmly believe it made the difference both for that test and other challenges in my life. I passed on my first try. read more

One and Done! I 1000% highly recommend Brett Danko and his accelerated courses and Live Review. Brett made learning the course work fun, interactive, and easy to understand. I started my CFP coursework with the College of financial planning and dreaded the process until I found out about Brett Danko. Brett will get you focused and mentally ready to pass the CFP exam! Brett is an all around good guy who happens to be a funny, kind, intelligent smart ass. I flew from the Bay Area CA to New Jersey every month for half the year just to attend Brett's Class because he is simply the BEST CFP(r) professor. I took the Nov 2013 exam for the first time and PASSED! Thank you Brett!!!! I could not have done it without you!! read more

I highly recommend Brett Danko's CFP review course. It is an intense, four day curriculum where Brett teaches you how to pass this albatross of an exam. Let me repeat; he teaches you how to pass, he does not inundate you with every possible scenario. Where other providers like Kaplan try to impress you with voluminous study materials, Bretts program keeps it condensed. While he is a very bright guy and Ivy educated, he easily relates to his class. His upbeat personality will keep you awake through unavoidably dry material. I entered his program with little to no knowledge of investments, insurance, and retirement plans. I emerged a first time passer, one and done. Highly recommended. read more

I wanted to take the time to write a review for Brett Danko and his CFP live review course. Because of his course, I passed the CFP exam on my first try and I cannot thank Brett enough for helping me pass and for the countless others that he has helped pass this behemoth of an exam. I did everything asked of me. I completed the pre-study, the live review, the practice tests/cases and reviewed the roadmaps and flash cards. I followed his program to a "T" and ended up passing the CFP exam on my first attempt (thank God because I would've jumped out the window if I had to take it over again)! Brett is a brilliant man but I know a lot of brilliant people. What sets him aside is his humility, ethics, self-deprecating wit, humor and passion for helping others. I have told everyone I know how incredible his Live Review course was, and the fact that I would pay to do it again, if only for the free stand-up comedy show (seriously, Brett could have a second career on the NYC comedy club circuit). In all truth, it takes an incredible person to make such exceedingly dry material interesting and, dare I say fascinating, and Brett does it effortlessly. I highly recommend his CFP Live review course for anyone considering taking the CFP exam. read more

Brett is an amazing teacher and storyteller. He helps you focus on what is important and shows you easy ways to remember the information. Definitely 4 of the best days I spent studying for the CFP and HIGHLY recommend this class to anyone who wants to pass the CFP exam. read more
