 the NCMHCE:
The NCMHCE is notorious for being extremely subjective. Many therapists who don't have a clear understanding of what this test considers 'right' and 'wrong' answers fail this exam. Once you have completed my at-home, self-paced program, you will fully understand how to 'Think Like the Test' (which is essential for passing).

The Current Format of the exam will be administered until November 7th. My Current Format Study Program for the NCMHCE contains everything you need to pass this challenging exam including:
​
* In-depth videos that teach you the exam's structure, content and, most importantly,         its subjective bias.
* 80 pages of efficient Study Documents
* Online Practice Simulations that are very similar to the actual exam


No Special equipment is needed. No travel expenses. You can assure your readiness with this online training from the comfort of your own home! 

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 everything you paid me (details on Order Page).

I can't tell you how many hundreds of dollars I have spent on practice materials that left me more confused and were nothing like the actual exam. Your workshop and practice materials are worth their weight in gold as they are the only thing I have found helpful and relevant. I also appreciate the personal attention you have given me in making sure that I received the materials and understood everything.
    April Smith, MS

The first time I took the NCMHCE I failed, I just didn't understand the format. Jonathan's workshop gave me the understanding and the strategies I needed to pass. The information was presented in a fun and interactive way.

I watched your videos today for the first time and you have de-mystified the exam for me! I feel much better already. This is perfect. It gives me confidence. I like to watch info videos and classes several times, that's why I wanted a recorded workshop. I really like your technique. This is an unbelievable amount of work that you have done. I really appreciate it.  
     Mary George, MA, RMHCI 

I didn't come close to passing the NCMHCE the first time because of the breadth of content and complex design of the exam.  Jonathan's workshop and study materials clarified the content and made the exam format understandable.  With Jonathan's help I passed the NCMHCE by a solid margin on my second try.  I couldn't recommend his workshop more. 
    Eric Skleder, MEd, LPC  
​
I wanted to say thank you for your help. I truly believe your tips and study packet were tremendously helpful for the exam. The only regret I had was that I didn't learn about your workshop sooner. I will be sure to recommend you to any of my colleagues.
