"I found the session a great help. It allowed me to choose a study path, and to understand what I needed to focus on. It took away the anxiety of the unknown. It is nice to know you are not alone. I feel I am in a better frame of mind to dive head on into studying. Thank you for allowing us the time to get together and brainstorm, and to talk to people who have been through it."

"What a great session! Just what I was looking for. When I started studying for the PPA, I realized it was very different from the NKE. Although individual study is important, the key to studying for a case exam is through a study group... and this is exactly what I got out of this info session!"

Ottawa chapter members who may be interested in forming a private/informal study group on their own are requested to contact infohr@hrpaottawa.ca and let them know of their interest, and they will put you in contact with fellow National Knowledge Exam writers.

Study Group Date is February 25, 2012!
