APEA review courses are known for their clarity and effective teaching methods. Students absorb and learn the material because the instructors present the information in ways that build knowledge and retention. Here are just a few comments from our thousands of satisfied customers: • “The knowledge that I gained was invaluable and I felt like it pulled together 2 years of classes that were patchwork. I took boards and much of the material Dr. Hollier reviewed was on the exam. I highly recommend this review course and plan to attend more courses for contact hours.” • “I found the APEA live review course extremely helpful. Everything I have learned the past two years came full circle. I never once lost focus as Dr. Hollier kept things lively.” • “The factor that sets APEA leaps and bounds above the other is their delivery. … the speakers are energetic and really drive home the concepts necessary to be successful to pass board exams. I felt the presenters were genuinely vested in my success. I did not feel the same with other review programs that are available for purchase, and that I had purchased. I encourage other students to utilize APEA to prepare for their future as an advanced practice provider.” In addition to presenting live and on demand review courses and clinical updates, APEA develops clinical resources, question banks and test banks and publishes evidence-based reference books and mobile reference tools used in practice every day.
