Here is what one student is saying:
‘I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the outstanding prep-work you provided us with for the TCM Pan-Can Board Exam and I am pleased to tell you that our whole 5th year class at our college has passed. Yeeeeha! We are all super happy and are submitting our CTCMA / CTCMPAO as we speak.
Your course allowed us to focus on the most relevant aspects of TCM for passing this board exam and it is worth every single dime. I would like to give you a big hug and thank you again for designing the TCM BootCamp so thoughtful, concise, interactive and fun.’
Bootcamp Student, 2016-2017
The Bootcamps were designed to be taken in succession. In fact, the Bootcamp series was originally requested by my students as they relayed exactly what they needed come board exam time. As it turns out, they were absolutely correct as this powerful combo results in a 90-95% pass rate!
USA students – this package would be equivalent to covering most of your study materials for your Foundations, Points and Herbology exams.
