CASAC Exam Preparation | Outreach New York

Registration is now open.

Taking the CASAC exam can be a challenging endeavor. Outreach Training Institute (OTI) boosts exam-takers’ confidence with its new 20-hour CASAC Exam Preparation Course. Loaded with the tips and strategies needed to conquer the exam, the 20-hour course consists of four sessions designed to help. *This entire prep course is eligible for up to 20 continuing education hours (for CASACs).

OTI’s prep course reflects updates made to the CASAC exam in 2015, including condensing the previous eight domains into four, a focus on new subjects, and the updated criteria from the release of the DSM-V.

Classes are now offered exclusively online via Webex. IMPORTANT: As this newly designed virtual course offers synchronous (live, virtually) learning hours as well as asynchronous testing hours (on your time, with designated time frames), please review the below breakdown carefully on what to expect.

This is a sample of the online conduct code that every student must agree to: OTI Online Conduct Code & Enrollment Agreement
