Barbara Brosnan, NBC-HWC
Thank you so much, Cherie Kroh, your prep group was amazing, and you were so incredibly generous with your knowledge and caring. Beyond the study guide and test questions, your coaching and help with mindset was invaluable. My only regret is that I did not sign up again sooner. Anyone taking this test should NOT hesitate to sign up, it is money more than well spent!
I Passed!
Gracienne Jean-Pierre, NBC-HWC
"Thank you Cherie Kroh and the study group. This test is not easy. I am thankful and grateful.
Passed!
Erin Dunn Falcon, NBC-HWC
Thank you! I could not have done it without your unbelievable prep course and study group!
Learning HOW to take a test is important.
Amanda Hershberg, NBC-HWC
Cherie, one of the most important things I have learned from you is how to read and understand a test question. Seriously. If you know all the theory, data, etc. but don't understand how to take the test, it's not going to end well. When I signed up for this group, I didn't even realize this was a skill that I needed to work on. Thank you!!!
Worth the price!
Marie de Senailhac
Took this course and HIGHLY recommend it!!! Cherie’s guidance & accountability was a major part in helping me pass the board 👏✨ gooooo for it! Def worth the price.
It was very helpful regarding how to think about the test and questions.
Lee Jordan, NBC-HWC
While I believe the program I went through landed me ready to take the exam with no additional studying, I did use [this] course and it was very helpful regarding how to think about the test and questions. Additionally, I found her teaching style to be a confidence builder. I would recommend it.
FAQ
When does registration close?
It doesn't. You can join the group at any time. The sooner you join though-the sooner you can get started reading key material. Don't delay! It is a lot of content. Our first study session is May 23, 7-9:30 ET and there is a lot to do before then!
How long is the study group? When does it start and when does it close?
We provide week-by-week study toolkits for 6 weeks prior to the month testing starts. We start in May and end in June.
What if I am unable to attend the LIVE Zoom study sessions?
No biggie. Any LIVE Zoom session is recorded and posted within 48 hours. You have full access to the recording, transcript, and chat. In fact, most students watch the recording on their own time.
What if I don't have Facebook?
Unfortunately, you will need a Facebook account to join the private group.
Why choose this group over other study groups or just studying on my own?

High-stakes exams are commonplace in healthcare. Learn from all those that have come before you. Practice tests, accountability, support, and a week-by-week plan are all key to your success!
What if I postpone my exam to the next testing month?
That is o.k.! Life happens. We get it. We have a one time transfer policy to the very next group at no cost to you. You are required to leave the current group but we will quickly add you to the next group.
