Description
Densmore CFE Prep guides you through the entire CFE process. Our team invests hundreds of hours each year to understand the CFE evaluation methodology, testing trends, and marking expectations, so we can provide you with an accurate reflection of what you can expect on each day of the CFE. This course is intended for writers taking Capstone 2.
We integrate the Capstone 2 module requirements, so you can work from one study plan with a clear strategy to prepare for the CFE. Through the use of original Densmore cases, a Scenario Flowcharts Workbook, online sessions, and more, we’ll help you prepare for CFE success and your future career.

Trying to decide between CFE Prep I or II?
CFE Prep I is intended for writers taking Capstone 2. The upload dates start before the Capstone 2 module workshop (July 10, July 31, August 18, August 24).
CFE Prep II is intended for writers taking Capstone 2. The upload dates start after the Capstone 2 module workshop (July 24, July 31, August 18, August 24).
We recommend CFE Prep I since the sessions are spread out, which helps candidates balance the workload with the Capstone 2 module requirements. It also gives candidates a head start on their case writing before the Capstone 2 workshop. CFE Prep II should only be taken by candidates who are off work throughout Capstone 2 since the course is more condensed.

Day 2 Role
On Day 2 of the CFE, you will respond to the CFE Day 2 case by assuming one of four pre-selected roles: Assurance, Finance, Performance Management or Taxation.
CFE Day 1 Case
The following Capstone 1 cases will be offered for the September 2027 CFE:
- Puck Points Video Games (version 1) – from the May 2027 Capstone 1 module
- Karnat Bread (version 2) – from the January 2026 Capstone 1 module
- Singular Textiles (version 2) – from the May 2026 Capstone 1 module
First-time writers must choose the case from the Capstone 1 module they completed, provided that case is available. Candidates who are challenging the CFE, such as international candidates, can choose from any of the available cases offered for that sitting.
