What Our Graduates Say.

Take a few minutes to learn what our most recent graduates have had to
say about our PTCB online course.

I took two of their PTCB practice tests the day before the exam and I’m glad I did. Embarrassingly, I failed the PTCB test twice before – and I was worried I was about to make it third-time unlucky. The full-length practice exams and calculations were a lifesaver, and really assisted me in my full and final preparation for the PTCB exam.

Nicky S. – San Diego, California

Excellent course. What makes things different is how well each lesson complements each other. The practice questions and exams are pretty much precisely the type of questions I faced on the day of my exam. If you are struggling with the PTCB test, I can wholly recommend their course as a way of bridging the gap between what you need to know and what gets tested.
