The Study Guide is over 400 pages and includes content material in the eight areas examined by the NCE and CPCE.
Dr. Helwig conducted a one-day workshop preparing counselors for the National Counselor Exam, CPCE and similar exams 245 times in 18 states for over 4,300 participants. This workshop is available on DVD. This is a recording of an actual workshop conducted in Denver preparing counselors and graduate students for the National Counselor Examination and the Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Exam (CPCE). The recorded workshop is over six hours in length and is contained on three movie quality DVDs.
The Study Guide for the National Counselor Exam and CPCE was revised in 2021.
Consequently, the Workshop DVDs will remain the same as before. There will be no disadvantage in using the 2015 edition of the Workshop DVDs.
The basic content material of the workshop is the Study Guide for the National Counselor Exam and CPCE which should be used with the DVDs. Although the Study Guide used during the filming of the workshop was the sixth edition, the Workshop DVDs have been updated and revised. Using the 9th Edition will work very nicely in following the DVD material. In short, the Study Guide provides organization and coherence to the workshop.
Dr Helwig reviews content material which consists of theories, techniques, concepts, and people providing examples and explanations, as well as answers to questions of the counselling workshop participants. Some examples of test questions are reviewed and discussed to assist in exam preparation.
Four of the eight content areas on the National Counselor Exam and CPCE are presented and discussed thoroughly during the workshop. These areas, often perceived as the most difficult by counsellors preparing for the exam are:
The other four areas are reviewed briefly but with significant suggestions about specific content as to importance, likelihood of being on the exam, and strategies for studying the material. These four areas are:
The DVDs are movie quality with audio and visual content. Also, see the Study Guide for the National Counselor Examination and CPCE.
