CPNE purchases??

[Firemedic7]

Hi All-

I passed NC7 2 days ago and am preparing to apply for my CPNE. I need alittle advice- First It seemsthat with the long wait that I should apply right away and then get my study materials together and go to the workshop, does anyone disagree?

Next, what materials are people buying? I see on the EC website that you can sign up for online conferences and 2 day workshops (which I have planned on doing) I also see flashcards and videos.... It seems over whelming

Could anyone advise what they used?

Thanks

There's a sticky at the top of this forum for CPNE hints.

I used the DVD and the flash cards. The DVD gave me an idea of what to expect during the CPNE; it was sort of like an early orientation to the test. The flash cards helped with learning critical elements. Both definitely helped. I sold both on eBay after the test, so they are worth the expense.
