Becker CIA review: The IIA’s official partner

Becker became The IIA’s official CIA review partner in March 2025, replacing the IIA’s own Learning System. Every package includes 3,300+ multiple-choice questions, six simulated exams and video lessons. Essentials gives 24 months of access for about $899; Premium ($1,299) and Pro ($1,599) give unlimited access and a pass guarantee, and Pro adds live online classes.

Partnership, packages, trial and guarantee from Becker’s own pages; prices as checked on Becker’s site by CPA Exam Guide in August 2026. Checked October 11, 2026. We have not tested it hands-on, so this review has no score.

What to watch for

The pass guarantee is modest: Becker’s page describes $100 back if you become “Exam Day Ready” and still don’t pass, with progress, time and location conditions.
Active CPAs: Becker sells a separate CIA Challenge Exam course; don’t buy the three-part course by mistake.
Free trial: 14 days, including one unit from each part.
