Concept Education (USA) Inc. or simply 'Concept' was founded by a team of like-minded professionals with a combined experience of more than 70 years in the field of accounting and education.

Concept’s vision is to bring the classroom to the doorsteps of candidates. Candidates who could be residing anywhere in the world and to help them obtain US certifications thereby enhancing their opportunities of participating in the global career market.

In direct association with Gleim Publications Inc., Florida, USA, the promotor of Concept has helped hundreds of aspiring candidates over the last 15 years to successfully prepare and pass the U.S certification exams, i.e., CPA, CMA, CIA and EA. The experience and reputation of providing quality education by conducting live classrooms in various cities in India, encouraged the promoter to launch virtual classroom courses from the USA to reach out to candidates residing not only in the U.S but also in other countries.

Concept is the pioneer of the idea of using virtual classrooms as an effective solution to modern day challenges. Virtual Classrooms eliminate the need to travel to a physical location for learning and thus, save precious time and money for both learners and educators.

Taking an already established relationship even further, Gleim has joined hands with Concept to promote and market Gleim Review Courses in accounting, all over the world.

I was enrolled with another leading CPA course provider but could not clear the FAR as there was no real person to discuss the questions with. Thankfully, I was referred by my colleague to try Gleim. If I am to sum up my experience with Gleim, I can definitely say that CPA would not have been possible with my schedule if I did not have CONCEPT’s tutoring and excellent material from Gleim. Gleim is better than any other leading CPA course provider in the market, both in terms of quality and the price. I recommend Gleim and CONCEPT to anyone who seriously wishes to pursue this designation but doesn’t know how to.

After much research, I decided to go with Gleim for my preparation.  What I figured over time was that the concepts and the questions in Gleim are much harder than the questions in the real exam. Gleim over-prepared me, which turned out to be a great thing. I went through the questions three times, every time noting the questions/concepts I got wrong.

CONCEPT is a great institution which knows the subject matter really well. In addition, they are also very familiar with the questions and formats of the material tested on CPA. Their classes were an important help and a great learning experience for me. They are helpful and understanding and I could not have done it without their assistance.

Anupam Tewari

I passed my CPA within a span of 6 months with expert guidance from the Concept-Gleim CPA Review along with Concept Education’s virtual classroom with scores of 92 in FAR, 84 in Audit, 75 in REG and 89 in BEC. CONCEPT Education actively guided me throughout the process from the start i.e. getting my evaluations done to qualify for CPA with the California Board of Accountancy until I cleared all my papers. They conducted online lectures using the virtual classroom which allowed us to learn from any location. The Gleim online study material is very comprehensive as it includes a vast variety of MCQ sessions that can be modified as per user requirements. They include audio-video presentations summarizing every study unit, audio video lectures, true / false questions, a good variety of simulations and written communication questions to attempt along with detailed performance history and reviews. These are conveniently accessible anywhere and anytime. They also provide a mock test which simulates exam conditions and helps us to be better prepared on the day of the exam. These learning aids helped us tremendously in clearing the CPA exam with ease simply by following the set procedure.

I sincerely thank and appreciate the Concept-Gleim CPA Review for helping me sail through my CPA. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of their learning process and would highly recommend CPA aspirants to sign-up with them. I thank CONCEPT for their invaluable insights, tips and guidance throughout this process.

Thanks for the excellent support and help that I received from CONCEPT. Their method were effective in helping me clear my CPA exams. When I started this journey, I was 48 years old and had my doubts about passing the exams. I was totally out of touch with studies and was a bundle of nerves. Gleim’s study materials, flash cards, step by step approach to solve the questions and their audio CD’s gave me the confidence. Today I am a proud CPA. If I can pass the exams at my age with the help of Gleim, anyone can.
