PLANS IN LIGHT OF COVID-19 - on-demand webinar
COVID-19 restrictions have made us switch to an on-demand format for 2020
We had hoped that we would be able to hold live classes for our EA exam prep class this summer, but uncertainty about COVID-19 restrictions has made us decide to switch to an on-demand webinar format for this year.
We are determined to help you achieve your goal of becoming an EA as soon as possible!
We are doing everything we can to help you pass the exam this summer!
We know you may be stuck at home and have probably cancelled your summer travel plans.
We plan to release Part 1 of the course about June 15. (That's the good news! You can get started before your live class would have been held.)
How it will work...
You will receive an email from us that includes a link to download all your materials, including a sample question packet with hundreds of questions that will be covered in the webinar, a PowerPoint presentation with audio that will allow you to skip to specific questions and listen to them a 2nd or 3rd time as needed, and a video format of the PowerPoint presentation (if you just want to listen to it straight through). In addition, you will receive the Fast Forward Academy EA Exam Prep book.
Personal interaction with instructor :)
We know that interaction with the class instructor is important to you. This class will be presented by Lisa Ihm, EA and Ryan Reichert, EA. You can email us any questions you have, and we will clarify the information for you. But we know that sometimes you just need a face-to-face discussion of something to make it sink in, so Ryan will schedule a ZOOM call with you to discuss material if you are struggling. All you have to do is request it when you email your question. We hope this personal interaction will help to fill some of the void created by the cancellation of the live in-person classes.
We will check up on you, to keep you motivated!
Ryan will also be sending you emails occasionally to check on your progress. We know that sometimes it helps to have someone pushing you. We recommend that you block days out of your schedule and devote them solely to getting this test passed, just like you would have done if you had come to class. No distractions! No interruptions! We do NOT recommend that you string this out over several weeks; by the time you get to the end you will have forgotten what you learned at the beginning. Really commit yourself to it for a short time period and get it done!
All parts will be available by the end of June
Part 3 will be released toward the end of June and Part 2 should also be released before the end of June, so you will be able to dive right into those other parts as soon as you pass the Part 1 test.
Test dates are available
We have been in contact with Prometric, where you will take your test. They are open and scheduling tests, but they are currently only operating at half capacity, so test seats are hard to find. A very helpful Prometric employee told me that if there is not a convenient time available, to check back every day, as some seats are held for specific tests under contracts, and when those contract expiration dates arrive those seats are made available to other test takers. We have found this to be true in the past; there were no seats available when a candidate checked at 10 am, but when they checked again at 7 pm they found a slot. Be persistent!
We look forward to working with you to achieve your goal of becoming an EA.

Lisa Ihm, EA
This course was developed by Lisa Ihm, EA. She has been teaching the EA exam prep class for over 10 years, so she knows where people struggle, and has received lots of feedback from students about what works. She has used that feedback to refine the packet of sample questions to keep you focused on material most likely to be tested, and gives you concrete ways to cement that information into your brain.
Ryan Reichert, EA
Ryan became an EA after attending this training course, so he knows what you are going through. He is a dynamic speaker who presents information in a logical way that helps students retain what they've learned. He will make the class time interesting and give you the encouragement you need to know you can succeed!
