Certification planning tools
Practical planning tools for CPA, CMA, CIA, CFA, CISA, NCLEX and ACCA candidates. Each tool explains its methodology, works on any device, produces print-friendly results, and is clear about one thing: its outputs are planning estimates, never guarantees. More tools join this page as they complete review under our editorial standards.
Plan your studies
Exam study-plan generator
Choose your exams, give each one its own target date, and get a week-by-week plan phased into foundation, practice, review and final preparation — with every date checked against the months that exam is actually offered.
Budget your certification
Certification cost calculator
An itemised estimate of what your certification will cost — application, per-exam fees, membership and maintenance, retake buffer and your own study materials — with a link to the official fee schedule on every line.
How these tools handle your data
Both tools run entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is transmitted anywhere and nothing is stored — there is no account, no cookie and no server to hold your inputs. Sharing a study plan puts your inputs in the part of the link that browsers never send to a server, and the plan is recomputed when the link is opened.
Both tools produce planning estimates from published, cited figures and clearly-labelled editorial assumptions. They are not official figures and are not a guarantee of readiness, of cost, or of passing any exam. Always confirm fees and key dates with the relevant certification body — every line links to the official source.
Know exactly where you stand.
Free planning tools built on the official exam blueprints — a week-by-week study plan and an honest, itemised cost estimate. No sign-up, no stored data.
