Can anyone tell me the realistic difference in these certifications? For example, it one recognized as more valuable, widely recognized, or preferred. What is the best review course. I heard it is the Barkley & Associates. Let me know your thoughts. Thans

Well I just commented on your other post but this one does ask a little bit different of a question.

Barkley vs. Fitzgerald vs. Hollier

It all boils down to personal preference. From what I've read Hollier and Barkley are awesome to listen to and don't get boring and cover a good bit of material. Fitzgerald goes a bit more in depth it seems and some say she isn't as entertaining as a speaker as the previous two but has awesome information since she does go into more detail.

I personally bought Hollier's review CD's and I listened to the several times through. Was it loads of fun? No. It really wasn't. Was she at least energetic and entertaining with her stories and lecture style? Absolutely.

It seems many agree on a study plan similar to the following:

Review CD's (from any of the 3) + Leik's NP review + tons of questions (preferably NOT exam edge)
