I have a choice of AACN or Barkley. Does any one have any opinions or experience with either one of them? It is for psych. thanks

Re: Certification review courses

I am taking a review course this weekend with Barkley (it's for peds, though). Barkley supposedly has a "99% pass rate." I plan on taking boards a week after the review. We'll see if that 99% is true or if I'm the other 1% ! I will let you know what I think.

FHEA is the best, I would suggest to others to ideally take the review course 6 weeks before your certification exam.

Unfortunately FHEA do not have a psych track. Anyone use ACCN review courses?

Re: Certification review courses

Well, I did the review course through Barkley about a week and a half ago. It was a very good review course...very good at addressing target areas. I took boards today and passed! There were several questions on my boards that the instructor for Barkley said "were almost always" on boards. (Not word for word...but general theory).
