Great video

"Nailed it first time! The tips on understanding the test were particularly useful and probably made the difference between passing first time and not. I really like the way the videos are done."

Carey

MFT Law & Ethics

“Today, I passed the Law & Ethics MFT exam… Yahoo! I am grateful for all your support, excellent study materials, and words of wisdom via the videos. The practice tests are just the best; it helped me regain my confidence in the MFT profession as a therapist and move forward through the state certification process.”

Melanie

Passed on first try

"The course helped me successfully pass my test on the first try. The content was relevant, clear and accessible. Ben and Marcia were responsive and accommodating, beyond measure. Moreover, I found the content to be more helpful, consistent, and current than [other major company’s] prep."

Colleen

LPCC Law & Ethics

"I used the Ben Caldwell LPCC L&E prep course online to prep for my exam and I passed on my first try! I felt very prepared going into it thanks to Ben's course. The content was thorough but succinct, and there wasn't a piece of content in the exam that wasn't covered in some capacity in the course. I think the most helpful part of the course, though, was the section on how to take the exam."

Krysta

Well-prepared

"The vignettes prepared me well for the actual exam. So much so, that I was hearing Ben's voice in my head as I was reading the actual questions on my L&E exam! I also found that watching the 'test taking strategy and anxiety management' section, before I took the last two mock exams, was extremely helpful in managing my test anxiety and being more mindful."
