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. The TURBO group starts Thursday September 14, 7-9 EST.
How long is the study group? When does it start and when does it close?
We provide week-by-week study toolkits for 12 weeks prior to the month testing starts. We have found 12 weeks to be the sweet spot for preparing for a high stakes exam. We start in July and end in November. But if you only have 6-weeks we got you too! Our 6-week program is exactly the same as the 12-week program just at TURBO speed!
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?
Over 1,000 students have completed this study group in preparation for becoming an NBC-HWC. We have a 93% pass rate and if you for some reason do not pass the exam you can join the next group for free!
What is the best way to study for a high stakes exam?
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!
