Focused on active learning and developing critical reasoning skills, our exam prep courses are taught by superior instructors with years of experience helping students. They use their collective knowledge and diverse experience to help students prepare and do their best on exam day. Each course starts with an overview of the exam to make sure students fully understand the nature and challenges of the high-stakes NPTE. Then instructors work through questions, in a guided learning format, to develop students’ critical reasoning skills. Breaking down and analyzing questions to understand how best to answer them on the real exam is at the heart of the TherapyEd course.

Making this an engaging and interesting learning experience is what makes our instructors the best in the profession. Utilizing their own years of practical and teaching experience, as well as interactive clickers and the TherapyEd Course Manual–a 302 page text given out as part of the course–the instructors are the reason almost everyone who takes the course rates it as “Excellent” or “Above Average.”  In student reviews of the course the comment made most often is “I wish this instructor taught at my school.”
