Frequently Asked Questions

How is your program different from other NCMHCE Prep Programs?

My online NCMHCE Study Program teaches therapists how to 'think like the exam'. As you may know, the real challenge of the NCMHCE is its subjectivity. There is a huge difference between what we do in the 'real world' versus the 'exam world' of the NCMHCE. While other online programs provide a thorough (sometimes too thorough!) review of 'real world' counseling, my study program focuses on the NCMHCE and specifically addresses this subjectivity as well as teaching you the key content that you need to know to pass.

How long will I need to study?

Many therapists begin my program a few months before they are planning on testing. The NCMHCE requires that one has a very good grasp of the DSM-5 criteria. If you already have a good grasp on the DSM-5 then about 2 months would probably be sufficient (one month if you have time to study more intensively). You will still want to give yourself plenty of time to watch my videos, work through my study documents and then have time to carefully go through my simulation package (over 12 hours of simulations). I recommend you watch my videos several times as there is a lot of crucial information covered in them. When you register, I give you 6 months of access in case life gets interrupted, but most therapists don't need to study that long.

How Current is your program?

I update my program every other month and email subscribers with a summary video of all significant updates.

What computer equipment will I need?
Nothing special. Any device that can watch the videos and take the free practice exam on this site can handle the workshop.

How do I ask questions?
Once you have finished watching all the videos, if you still have questions, you can email them to me.

Can two people share one subscription?
Unfortunately, shared memberships are not allowed. I have put hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars into making this the best NCMHCE prep program available. As a matter of professional ethics, I do require that each person using my program purchases a subscription from me. Transferred subscriptions are also not allowed.

Can I re-watch the videos?
Yes, you can watch the videos as many times as you like for 6 months. You will have full control over playback- start, pause, rewind, skip ahead. You can watch half, come back another day and continue at any point. I just ask that you don't share any of my video or written material.

How long will I have access to the workshop?
You will have six months of access to the videos and updates. You can watch them as many times as you like.

How many times can I take the practice exams?
My program comes with 12 hours of practice exams. You can take them as many times as you like. If you can pass my mock exams, you will be ready for the real thing!

What are my payment options?
My secure shopping cart accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. I have been safely accepting online payments since 2012.

What is your guarantee?
I am confident that my workshop will help you to pass this exam. In fact, I'll give you this guarantee: If you take the NCMHCE and don't pass, I will fully refund the original cost for your workshop. To receive your refund, you will need to send me a scan or picture of your score sheet. This refund offer is good for six months after you place your order.
