    I wonder if they sold the business. That's interesting.

    Maybe they are redoing their Aud section (can only hope).

    too much competition or drs update if the review course is going to be meaningful. Or maybe one of their instructors quit.

    I emailed them about it and got this message:

    “Yaeger is not currently accepting new students in order to conduct an internal operational evaluation.

    Yaeger will continue to provide its students with exceptional services, including access to their currently existing student portals, message board instructions, and the instructor hotline for the next 12 months.

    Yaeger continues to be committed to its students in their journey to pass the CPA exams.

    Current Yaeger Students please email questions to:

    Thank you,

    YAEGER CPA Review

    Anybody have an idea what that means?

    I went on the message board today….apparently Sonny is no longer there and they are shipping the remaining materials for those that use your own pace schedule. This would tell me they are done.

    Checked Sonny's LinkedIn as there was a post on here yesterday with someone asking the same question regarding Yaeger. Sonny's profile shows a separation date of May 2016 attached to his job at Yaeger. It doesn't say “current” as it would if he were still there. I have to say that I have their latest FAR materials and the editing of the videos was really horrible. At times you could see where they had spliced and diced video and the instructor would all of a sudden be talking about something else or referring to some page in the book but you had no clue what page. I realize they don't want to re-shoot hours and hours of new video anytime a change comes out for a section, but for the money they are paid, you'd think the editing would be a little more professional.

    With all that said though, it's sad seeing several review firms closing shop or being bought out. I never used Bisk but it was sad hearing of the passing of Bob Monette and Bisk going away. Phil makes me want to jam pencils in my eardrums but it would still be sad to see Yaeger go away. Kind of like seeing the house your grew up in as a kid be demo'ed – a little sad.

    I hope that everything works out for those who have recently purchased materials. It's a huge investment and not many can afford to just toss a couple of thousand out the window.

    My teenage son to me "If you don't pass, it isn't like you'll die or anything."  True.  Very true.  Just do your best, it's all you can do.

    Hmm…not sure what to think about Gleim's status. 😐 On the one hand, slick move to get customers. 😉 On the other hand, that is actually pretty generous to be offering up to a $1,000 credit for the full purchase price. I can't decide if they're taking advantage of Yaeger's demise or if they're being generous to help out students who may be feeling left in the lurch. 😐

    Why not both? It'd be a dumb business move to not try and take Yaeger market share.

    Seems strange that nothing else really has been formally announced by Yaeger. Is the Gleim Tweet the only announcement of any sort that's out there regarding Yaeger closing its doors???

    I have a suspicion that there has been a deal in the works between Yaeger and Gleim as I called Gleim and they had all of my information and I have never talked with them. At this point I believe I am going to switch as I have to retake BEC and I cannot stand the Yaeger AUD.
