What Happens During Your
15-Minute Certification Success Consultation?

This is not a sales call. Every minute is focused on one thing: helping you understand exactly what to do next on your certification journey. In just 15 minutes, Dr. Sabine Charles will assess where you stand, pinpoint what's holding you back, and give you a specific, personalized plan — built around your exam date, your materials, and your real schedule.

⏱ First 5 Minutes
01
A Clear Picture of Where You Are

Dr. Charles begins by getting the full picture of your situation. She'll ask about:

  • The certification exam you're preparing for
  • The study materials and review course you're currently using
  • How many times you've taken the exam
  • Your previous scores and which performance areas fell short
  • Your current study schedule and preparation strategy
No judgment. No assumptions. Just an honest look at where you are right now.
⏱ Next 5 Minutes
02
Your Exact Weak Areas, Identified

Through targeted questions, Dr. Charles zeroes in on the specific topics and question types keeping your score below the passing mark. She'll ask about:

  • The subjects or question formats you find most difficult
  • The areas where you need the greatest support
Most candidates are surprised by what comes to light here. You'll leave knowing not just what to study — but why it's been holding you back.
⏱ Final 5 Minutes
03
A Personalized Plan Built for You

Based on your responses, Dr. Charles gives you a specific, prioritized set of next steps — not a generic checklist, but a real plan built around your life and your exam date. Depending on your situation, she may recommend:

  • A personalized Skills Assessment
  • One-on-one tutoring
  • TAPA Institute study materials and CPA Study Scripts
  • A structured certification bootcamp
  • Exam strategy, confidence, or test-anxiety support
If a TAPA program is the right fit, Dr. Charles will explain exactly which one and why — with no pressure to decide during the call.
