“ After participating in a Ventajas
workshop, I realized that the
materials and methods I had used in my previous preparation were inadequate. I came away from my Ventajas workshop with a renewed spirit. A light had come on in my head and I was more confident, relaxed and
focused. I knew I finally had the
advantage I needed to pass the social work licensing exam, which I did! Since that time, life has been awesome. I have been afforded many professional opportunities to expand my knowledge, skills and passion in
the field of social work. I strongly
recommend Ventajas. It works!”

Before you take the national Social Work licensure exam, wouldn't it be nice if you could sit down with the people who wrote the test and pick their brains?
Have you ever attended a lecture and felt as if you were lost in a sea of faces? That won't happen at our seminars. We limit class size to a maximum of 20 people to make personal attention possible.
You will walk out confident and prepared. Information you learn will reduce any anxiety you might feel about taking the exam. You will learn how to construct and deconstruct questions (items), how to figure out the item writer's bias and learn the strategies for dealing with a multiple choice exam.
Presenter:
Frances Goddard, L.C.S.W.: Former Executive Director of the American Association of State Social Work Boards responsible for administrating the Social Work Examinations.
