Disciplines we cover

Every behavioral-health licensure exam, under one platform.

From the EPPP to the ASWB to the BCBA, Triad covers the credentials your clinicians actually pursue. One agreement, one billing relationship, every discipline.

How we deliver

Every learner. Every learning style.

Some clinicians thrive in a live workshop with a coach. Some need to study at 11pm after putting kids to bed. Some still want a printed manual. We've built for all three, under one curriculum, one author team, and one billing relationship.

Why Triad Exam Prep

Three things that set us apart.

Psychometric review on every item

Every exam item in the AATBS bank goes through formal psychometric analysis, discrimination, difficulty, reliability. One of the few CE providers running this kind of review on every question. The result: prep that actually predicts the real exam.

50 years of authoring discipline

We've been writing licensure exam prep continuously since 1976. The faculty roster, Graham Taylor, Kaynor Heineck, and 30+ active instructors, has helped get hundreds of thousands of clinicians licensed across every behavioral-health discipline.

One agreement. Every brand.

AATBS, Academic Review, Gerry Grossman Seminars, Taylor Study Method, four exam-prep brands in one family. Universities and employers can sponsor exam prep for their entire clinical workforce under a single MOU.

How partners use Triad Exam Prep

Pricing

Self-study packages start in the low hundreds. Live workshops scale by cohort size.

Individual self-study programs typically run a few hundred dollars per discipline. Live workshops, employer-sponsored cohorts, and university-program contracts are quoted by team size and product mix. Most enterprise partners run a 60–90 day pilot before committing.

Common questions

Which behavioral-health licensure exams does Triad cover?

Triad provides exam preparation for every major behavioral and mental health licensure exam, including the EPPP (psychology), ASWB (social work — all four levels), MFT (national and state), NCE and NCMHCE (counseling), BCBA and BCaBA (applied behavior analysis), MAC and NCAC (addictions counseling), state-specific exams (California CPLEE, California LCSW, California MFT, and others), and HESI/NCLEX for nursing.

What study formats are available?

Live Online Workshops (instructor-led, scheduled cohorts), Self-Study Packages (on-demand video and reading materials with practice questions), and Print Study Materials (the original 50-year-old volumes for learners who prefer paper). Most learners combine formats — a workshop plus self-study practice.

How much does Triad exam prep cost?

Self-study packages start in the low hundreds of dollars. Live workshops are priced by cohort size and can be sponsored by an employer or university. For group or institutional pricing, contact our team.

What is Triad's pass-rate guarantee?

Triad offers a pass guarantee on most of our exam-prep programs — if you complete the program in good standing and do not pass, you can re-enroll at no additional cost. Specific terms vary by exam and program; see the program's terms page.

How does Triad's psychometric review work?

Every practice item Triad publishes goes through an internal psychometric review — item-difficulty calibration, discrimination indexing, and bias review — and is updated annually against published licensure-blueprint changes. The result is a question bank closer to the live exam than what general LMS publishers produce.

Can my employer sponsor exam prep as a benefit?

Yes. Triad offers Sponsored Exam Prep programs for employers as a recruiting and retention benefit, and One-Agreement licensing for universities that want to embed exam prep into their curriculum. Visit our Employer Solutions or University Solutions page for details.
