              "Capturing your Credentials" for OT & OTA students

Instruction, Case Study Application, Course Overview ​

Capturing Your Credentials is different from the other products on the market for many reasons. No other product educates on the sign-up process. I remember the added stress from the sign-up process (ACVF forms, sending transcripts, the timing of getting your ATT letter and signing up at these Prometric centers). Multiple students have taken the test and not received their test scores in a timely fashion due to not following the process (just to name one sign up process dilemma). We broke that process down into 3 simple steps and will run through it with all attendees verbally and visually with photographs. Our course is unique since it focuses heavily on “how” to read and decipher questions. With the vast amount of material, it is nearly impossible to memorize everything. There are specific techniques on how to breakdown the questions and select the “best” answer (even when you do not have a clue what the answer is). We also cover other test prep material (pros and cons) and even encourage using some of it in conjunction with our course. The course also provides useful “day of test tips” and study techniques. During the course we have students create a tentative study plan. Previous students have loved the calendar plan to organize where to start studying and end studying. It has provided them some mental clarity and starting point. Lastly, we conclude the course with 50 practice questions with focus on applying the newly learned techniques. Each question will be reviewed and discussed. The questions are formatted just like the real NBCOT exam.

I graduated from WMU with hopes and aspirations of passing the test and immediately starting my career. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my path. I indeed took the test more than once. I had a great opportunity to try a vast array of test prep products. While studying, I was overwhelmed with the amount of material that is covered. I found myself asking questions like how will I ever remember all this material? How do I know I am studying the right stuff? What if I study all of this and it’s not even on the test?  After I finally passed the test, I figured I would share my knowledge base and the techniques that ultimately got me over the hump. I’m sure WMU wasn’t happy with me brining down their passing rate-Oops. Rather than dwell on this, I created a 1-hour test prep course and have been presenting it to WMUs graduate classes as well as MIOTAs monthly webinars for the past 3 years. I have received phenomenal feedback from everyone at WMU and MIOTA so I revamped it and expanded it to a 4-hour course changing the name to “Capturing Your Credentials”.

Instructor: ​Eric Checkley M.S., OTRL 
I studied interdisciplinary health services and occupational therapy at Western Michigan University. Soon after I began my career with HCR ManorCare. I have enjoyed my career thus far, and 5 ½ years later continues my employment with HCR ManorCare’s Heartland Sterling Heights building. I have recently transitioned from being a fulltime occupational therapist to the Assistant Administrator at Heartland Sterling Heights. Despite the recent transition into administration, my passion for occupational therapy is still burning. My clinical skills will remain up to date.  I will continue my contractual work for Michigan Department of Health and Human Services where I complete specialized OT assessments for Macomb Community Mental Health/OBRA.  Furthermore, I am the current Detroit Chapter President for the Michigan Occupational Therapy Association. I enjoy collaborating with other professionals in the Greater Detroit Area to organize networking events for occupational therapists. I also love interacting with the students that are graduating from the various occupational therapy schools in the state of Michigan. I provide guest lectures for Western Michigan University’s graduate program and webinars for the newly implemented membership benefit for MIOTA.​
