Additional Information for Certification Review Study Sessions:

The session dates, fees and book ordering information are listed on the Flyer. Participants are responsible for obtaining the appropriate book, reading the assignments and doing outside studying when necessary.
Participants should not confine their learning only to the book listed, which is used for both content and a structured learning environment. Participants must consult the Exam Guide for other resources and study on their own to insure they are fully prepared for the exam.
Each session includes weekly reading assignments; the leader may give additional assignments at his/her discretion.
Bring your own food and drink--the site does not have meal service, only a soft drink machine.
We start promptly at 6 pm and end promptly at 8 pm.
Please turn off or place on 'vibrate' all cell phones during the session.
If you are unable to attend, please let your leader know.
There will be a sign-in sheet each week.
At the conclusion of the session, participants with a 75% or more attendance will receive a "Certificate of Completion" for each session attended.

IMPORTANT** NTBC offers Certification Review Study Sessions to coincide with the certification exam dates for individuals wanting additional help attaining their certification. Attending a review study session is not mandatory nor required to take the certification exam and are led by certified administrative professionals (CAP®) who are familiar with the examination and study materials--they are not professional instructors nor affiliated with any educational or business organization. Any fees associated with a review study session helps NTBC defray the expenses associated with the sessions, and supports the NTBC continuing education and professional certification development programs. While a review study session can help some attendees focus their study time on both content and test-taking skills, NTBC nor our session leaders make any claim or guarantee that upon completion of a review study course the attendee will pass the examination--that is solely the responsibility of the attendee. The guidance provided is general and attendees are responsible for selecting their own appropriate study method and additional materials. For questions or more information, email CERTIFICATION
