Case Management Institute, Deanna Gillingham, and Anne Llewellyn are excited to bring you the

“On-Demand CCM Prep Course”

presented by Anne Llewellyn, RN-BC, MS, BHSA, CCM, CRRN.

 

“ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A CASE MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION REVIEW COURSE TO HELP YOU PASS THE  CCM EXAM?

When you’re looking for a course to help pass your CCM exam, you want something that does exactly that, help you pass.

We have helped case managers from coast to coast pass their CCM Certification Exam and now it’s your turn! 

We realize you might not have the time or resources to invest in attending a live Case Management Review Course, so we wanted to bring the review course to you. 

Thanks to our online, on-demand course you are no longer restricted to attending the few live courses held each year. You can now attend online…

when, where, and as often as you want!

We Want You to PASS! 

 

 

Here’s what some of our students who took this course said:

I so recommend the book and course to those taking the exam, it helped prepare me for the CCM exam which I passed thanks be to God. The content in the book is also relevant for day-to-day work as a case manager in understanding the processes in place behind the work that we do, key important concepts, and content that is relevant to the work we do.”

Sarah A.

“Excellent tool. Well worth every cent to purchase the book and the On-Demand Course. Terrific job!”

Alissa

“I’m confident that the Online CCM Prep Course was the most instrumental source of my passing. The material covered in the Prep Course was not only pertinent to the exam, in my opinion experiencing the conversation, examples, and working knowledge shared by both Facilitators are the reason I was able to understand the material in the book and pass my exam.”

This course is meant to complement the book, CCM Certification Made Easy: Your Guide to Passing the Certified Case Manager Exam 3rd Edition.  CCM Certification Made Easy gives you “just the facts” on each knowledge domain, this on-demand course puts the information into context.

The Case Management Institute brings you this online version as we understand that the cost and logistics of attending a live course are prohibitive to most people. It can easily cost well over $1000 in transportation and lodging fees. Not to mention the hassle of getting time off work and coordinating the time away from your family. In addition, we understand that cramming in hours of lecture in a day-long program can lead to information overload.

This online course allows you to listen and study at your own pace. You can listen as long as you want, as many times as you want, and take a break when you need to. When you’re ready to come back, whether a few minutes, days, or weeks later, your course will be waiting for you. You can review the course as many times as you wish at no additional charge.

With your $397 investment in the On-Demand

Pre-recorded Course, you’ll receive:
