Special Features of the NPPA Prep Course:

This learning resource has been designed to help you prepare for the NPPA examination. It includes a total of over 120 Critical Incidents that are modeled from those appearing on the actual exam. Each incident is accompanied by four possible courses of action. You will receive a grade reflecting your choices, in accordance with the grading scheme for the NPPA. In addition, an expert-moderated discussion board will enable you to ask questions, receive additional instruction, and work with other candidates. Included are:

• 20 critical incidents designed to enhance your knowledge and assess your judgment when answering NPPA exam questions. These are presented as decision trees, so that you discover and understand the consequences of correct, suboptimal and incorrect actions in your attempt to resolve challenging situations in an optimal decision. Upon arriving at the best solution, a brief multimedia presentation highlights the general principles of professional practice demonstrated by the incident. Your performance on the incidents is tracked and saved so that you can assess your strengths and the areas where you need additional learning.
• 65 critical incidents presented in the format of a sample exam, with detailed explanations for the correct answers. This provides you with an opportunity to write a timed exam to further assess your judgment and readiness for writing the exam. Your performance on the sample exam is tracked and saved so that you can assess your strengths as well as areas where you need additional learning.
• An interactive discussion forum moderated by a former Chairperson of the National Committee responsible for creating NPPA exam questions, where over thirty-five additional scenarios will be posted by the moderator. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss these scenarios, as well as to identify other alternatives that could be feasible, prior to the correct answer being revealed. Discussing various approaches in this manner is the best way to prepare for the NPPA exam, as it helps participants learn of all the different perspectives that HR professionals from diverse environments consider when assessing a situation.
  The discussion board also allows you to collaborate and form study groups with fellow prep course participants, ask the moderator questions on relevant issues, and seek assistance.
