Who has the best CPNE workshop?

Published

Specializes in Psych/Travel.

I passed Ethics on Saturday and am now within 10 hrs of finishing, I now also get to look forward to my FCCA and CPNE.

I do understand that every one will have their own opinion, but I wouldn't mind hearing from y'all, about who might have the best CPNE workshop.

Thanks

Steve

I can't tell you which is the best, simply because I only attended one of them.

I passed my first attempt, no repeats.

Steve,

I am so glad you ask that question b/c I am getting ready to sign up for one.

I am working on Ethics Theory and Practice. I am only using Lisa Arends notes and am really struggling. I think it is b/c I really don't like the subject. How did you study, if you don't mind sharing.

And . . . congrats on getting this far!

This is something I would not recommend for anyone to do, I bought both books EC recommend reading, tried reading them, and figured I was wasting my time, so I took the study guide and googled everything. ie Kant and ethics, who said info lit was a waste. any way ended up with a B.

All I have left is English, micro and sociology.

Good luck on you Ethics

Thanks Steve,

Actually, I have been googling a lot and have gotten great info. Also, plan to do the practice exams.

Your are almost there with just a few to go!

Tina and Lynn rock. :) I took workshops with both of them! (Don't mind me, I always over-prepare, over-study. Ha ha.) Also, the Tina in California has a great reputation. Lynn's workshop travels, which is a bonus if you're not near either Tina (one in PA, one in Cali).

I didn't take EC's workshop -- they didn't have one near me at the right time. I've heard they tend to be a little overcrowded, but you also can't beat getting the info right from the source.

Oh, and Chancellor's has a five-day workshop in Indiana -- I know a couple of people who took that one and loved it. Small class size, lots of hands-on, from what I hear.

I took Lynn's workshop at the beginning of my studies (gave me a great foundation), then Tina's in PA two weeks before my CPNE. There were only four of us at Tina's, which was awesome -- she keeps her class sizes small. Loved it!

I'm taking the EC workshop next week - it was the only one that had a date close enough to my CPNE and where I could get time off of work. It's in Cherry Hill, NJ which is about an hour and 1/2 from me. I figure the cost to be comparable considering if I went to Tina or Lynn I'd have to get a hotel room and perhaps an airline ticket and rental car. I'll post how it goes later next week.

Does anyone have a contact web address for Chancellor's CPNE? I've tried to google it with no luck.

Thanks.

Edited to add: good grief, they've raised their price to $1195! Yikes. That is pricey. I don't remember it being that much.
