The AD Banker program is right on point with delivering exactly what is needed to succeed in the courses. I used it for the SIE, Series 6, Series 63 and Insurance Licensing. I found the program was sufficient while other colleagues of mine were purchasing and sourcing other methods from Kaplan to You Tubing; I chose to stay the course and only use the AD Banker materials. I give only a 4 out of 5 because when it came to the Web Classes, it was a hit or miss with instructors. They were not all able to deliver the material in a way that was palatable for those who did not already have familiarty in the finance world. I got around this by using the resources AD Banker offered - I requested recordings from classes that were done in a different week, so that I would have the learnings from a different instructor. Again, the program is sufficient if you use all the resources. I will say the breakdown study calendar was also not realistic - to read as much as they suggested in a day, but it was great to have a guide and I read at a pace that would allow me to retain the material vs rushing to match the calendar. You have to know your learning capabilities. A special mention for instructors Brett and Robert LaBree. They were full of resources, great advice and additional ways to help.

With such complex and dry material, I was still able to learn a ton of information and pass my State exam on the first try! Had an outstanding curator as well to give some real-life examples to make the important points even more clear. This is a great program but I wish there was a little more interactivity during some sections.

I appreciate the Way AD Banker is set up. The questions are harder but it teaches you much understanding of what you are reading so you can pass the state exam the first time around.

Awful. I never want to use AD Banker again. You're way better off using Kaplan to pass your SEC Exams.

Need to update and improve the quality of the courses as the model and questions are a bit different than the original exam.

Excellent resource, I particularly loved the Chapter breakdowns and quizzes they helped me to comprehend the course materials. Additionally, I loved the webinar courses as well! Having a live teacher available made me feel more comfortable. I was able to bring questions, and have them answered.

Honestly, guys, you need a way for students to give feedback on each slide/question. I did pass all my tests first try but it wasn't without struggle. While I was taking my practice tests I was constantly questioning if I was wrong or if there was something wrong with the question. It's one thing if it's just worded weirdly but that's not what I'm talking about, I mean the questions that say something different than what was in the text or a question that didn't refer to the text in that chapter. Also in addition to that the liked text to incorrect questions on the cumulative tests often did not hold an explanation to that question, which for me was always a dead ringer of there being something fishy with that question.

Not very accurate as far as what you actually see on the legitimate test. Many of our colleagues are upset because they come in thinking they are well prepared but really the actual test is nothing like the comprehensive. The A.D. Banker instructors are not always friendly and even ran all day sessions where people couldn't take a lunch until 4pm with the instructor saying something along the lines of "I don't do lunch breaks". Also the wording could be edited to eliminate ambiguity and concentrate on training people the right way for the verbiage and altered themes that appear on the FINRA / NASAA exams.

Readings are not well organized and questions are not relevant to actual test material. Would have failed my exams if I did not use additional study materials along with AD Banker

It was time to take my CE Courses for the first time. I live in FL but the course was for GA. Not knowing, I began taking the GA courses. I began receiving notices from my employer that the certification was not received. It wasn't until I spoke to a co-worker that I should be completing the course s for the state I reside in. I tried to switch the state on the website, it did not work, I had to call and literally cram for the exam because of the time wasted taking the incorrect courses, my license expired. Thank goodness the state accepted the late certificates. If not, I would have list my job! The Representative that I spoke with on the phone was very empathic and kind, and she corrected the error.

My experience with AD Banker reps has been very positive. Each time I reached out to them they answered my questions very professionally. I'll add your reps are an asset and you should appreciate the value they bring to your company.

Pretty good study set up. Solid information delivery. Only complaints were: Some of the later chapters were dense and took up considerably more time to study/test. State specific portion was not broken up like the national portion, so that was a full on weekend of studying with no real separation.

The SIE and Series 6 Exam were covered decently well throughout the ADBanker training. I would suggest updating all of the Series 63 material, for as a group of testers, we have all discussed how different the material on AD is from the actual exam itself. The information is easily understood throughout the chapters but the issue is the practice quizzes and exams. The actual exam is not worded the same way as the exam itself. I would talk to people who have recently taken or passed the Series 63 exam to update the questions being provided. I did not stumble upon one question that was on the practice exams on the actual exam. I want to see all my other colleagues going through licensing succeed so I wanted to give my opinion on how to improve the Series 63 Chapter. Please update the exam and quiz questions to reflect what others will see on the actual exam. Most of the people I talked to said what stumped them was the wording of the questions on the actual exam. So it is something to think about for improvement of the Series 63 course as a whole. Everything else was very understandable with a good path of how to study.

I loved A.D Banker. I was so easy to do my CE. The feature where it reads the course to you is Amazing. I was able to do other things and listen to the course work thru out my day.

I was able to get my 48 hours of CE from my own home, on my own schedule, at a very reasonable price. I appreciated that the lessons were very easy to read and learn from. When I was finished, all my hours had been reported to the State, so getting the license was a breeze. I highly endorse A D Banker's Continuing Ed for insurance.
