Free help, every week
Online Office Hours are held once a week, on Tuesdays from 7:00–8:00pm ET. Moderated by an experienced TherapyEd instructor, they give students a way to extend their studying and get extra help. Log in, ask questions, and get personalized help while also learning from other students’ questions. There is no charge — Online Office Hours come as a benefit of taking the TherapyEd preparation course for the COTA® exam.

Persons with hearing loss can join Zoom® sessions for TherapyEd prep courses, Wednesday online office hours, and personal tutoring sessions.

TherapyEd online practice exams are designed to count down to zero from the standard allowed exam time. However, the exam does not end when it reaches zero. Instead, it will continue to count the time, and you’ll be able to take as long as you need to finish the exam. It will only end once you answer the last question and then click the “Submit” button.
