Students enrolled in the “National Nursing Home Administrator Licensing Course” are purchasing the professional knowledge of the instructor to assist the student to prepare for the national licensure exam administered by the National Association of Boards of Examiners (NAB).

This is a 5-week intensive independent study program designed to provide students a unique personalized and structured learning environment where progress is monitored by the instructor through email to help students maintain focus and complete scheduled assignments timely.

THE INSTRUCTOR MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND THAT COMPLETION OF THIS OR ANY LICENSURE PREPARATION COURSE OFFERED BY INSTRUCTOR WILL GUARANTEE A PASSING SCORE ON ANY LICENSING EXAM.

An individual’s ultimate success in passing the licensure exam is dependent on an individual’s professional experience, academic preparation, and the time and energy the individual can commit to exam study and preparation. A student’s work schedule or other commitments may require more time to prepare for an exam than allotted. The student is solely responsible for licensing exam registration/testing and retesting fees.

HOW TO USE THE STUDY GUIDES

Step 1 – VERY IMPORTANT - The personalized test organizer that comes with the program is the key to your success and sets this program apart from any other. It is critical you follow the instructions and score each exam, and file the completed exams into your binder. Try to keep to the schedule and email your test results to the instructor to stay focused.

Step 2. - Speed Reader – Read the speed reader for each module once or twice before taking the module exam(s). Read the speed reader over and over again until you familiarize yourself with its contents. THE MORE TIMES YOU LOOK IT THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO REMEMBER IT.

Step 3 – Exam Packet - The exam packet contains questions designed to measure your comprehension and retention of the material you read. Take each exam over and over again until you score 100%. Make sure you score each exam and record the results in your organizer or you will not be able to gauge your progress.

The exam questions are cross referenced to the speed reader to allow you to quickly find and review material you missed on the exam as follows:

Thus, the specific material would be found on page 2 of the speed reader, section 1.8, subparagraph 13.
