Honestly 2-3hrs a night, for a couple months maybe, do all practice questions until you hit atleast 85-90%, make sure its ACFE practice MCQ, and just take each exam for that section its 115 MCQ timed at 75 sec per Q, but most are very simular to practice Q so it's pretty easy and quick answers, couple are long (you can fail 3 times i think max), hardest part for me was getting ACFE to accept that i had work experiences directly related to the "detection and deterrence of fraud", thier strick on the 1-2 yrs of fraud experience, and getting ppl to properly upload letters of rec. Lol if you passed CPA this is a breath of fresh air.

I am in the customer service and sales side of travel insurance, and I am looking for a new job, possibly in another field. A much larger company purchased us 2 years ago, and over the last 6 months I have lost 2 designations, one as an advocate, which was my most rewarding. I was told that it had nothing to do with my performance. Any suggestions on how to obtain a position in another area? Such as going from strictly customer service and sales to advocate and claims? Thanks
