Hear from Program Participants

"Some of the most amazing experts in the field"

“The programs are staffed by some of the most amazing experts in the field, and they made themselves available to me if I followed-up with a question”

Dr. Abraham Loebenstein Ph.D, Psychologist PSY15631

"I don’t know that I would have passed my boards without CONCEPT."

“Having the downloadable source materials to study from was a huge advantage for my board certification tests, since I could review the content as many times as I needed. I don’t know that I would have passed my boards without CONCEPT, since much of what I reviewed in those presentations were covered in my exam.”

"Love the discussion"

“Loved the discussion about the RNR model. Great balance of clinical work as well as research in this domain of psychology."
