What Does This Online Workshop Include?

< BACK NEXT >

This workshop covers the eight content areas which are tested by the National Counselor Exam which comes from the National Board for Certified Counselors. All the theories and techniques, and those authors and practitioners associated with those theories are included. You will find over 1200 issues and concepts in this workshop. Many examples are used to explain complex concepts, especially in the appraisal and research (statistics) sections.

There are 300 comments, suggestions and explanations in this on-line workshop that you will not find in the Study Guide for the National Counselor Exam. Every year I receive feedback from many counselors who have taken the exam and I have included many of their specific suggestions about the exam and preparation for it.

In addition to content material on which the exam is based, the workshop has a detailed explanation of the National Counselor Examination including information about the content and context (work behavior domains) of the exam questions. Additional workshop features include a 160-item Practice Exam, Study Tips, Exam Taking Tips, ACA Code of Ethics, and a list of references. The Practice Exam contains items that match the distribution of content items on the National Counselor Exam and is scored automatically for immediate feedback.

The workshop also includes a number of pictures and graphs to help explain the material. In addition, there are fourteen audio presentations of material which also enhance understanding. The audio portions are also presented in text format for those who do not have audio capability.

A discussion forum for messaging between online workshop enrollees is available. Participants can react to others' questions and comments and present their own questions which others may address. Workshop participants may establish contacts for group study possibilities.

Dr. Helwig will monitor the discussion forum messages and offer direct feedback as circumstances allow.

There are many internet links throughout the workshop which will serve as direct sources of additional information helpful in exam preparation and related professional issues.

You get a workshop in your own home or office -- to be completed on your time as you can. No travel or related expenses.
