What are FNP students saying about using Barkley?
The test is the best!
This course was the best I have used. I have used 3 other board prep courses, and I hated them. This is truly the best.
Well organized, easy to access, and excellent content. The presenters were easy to understand and did not speak too fast.
The different speakers were subject matter experts, and that really helped me stay engaged!
Speakers kept it interesting. Being able to speed up audio/video is very helpful. Printed materials are very beneficial.
The class had many helpful acronyms and ways of phrasing educational material that helped with recalling information for studying and testing.
It kept me interested. I've had other courses who put me to sleep and this one was great.
I was able to complete on my own time and schedule.
I passed my AANP FNP exam!
I loved having a workbook and audio.
