AMFTRB Test Prep Course
Navigating Test Prep Is Challenging -
You Don't Have To Do It Alone
We know firsthand how overwhelming AMFTRB prep can be. When our lead instructor, Aaron Abrams, was preparing for the exam, he tried studying solo and enrolled in multiple online courses—none of which truly helped him feel confident or supported. When he finally found a method that worked, he was able to leave the exam room feeling confident and free of anxiety, and he passed the AMFTRB, well exceeding the minimum passing score. That journey—full of frustration, isolation, and eventual success—is what inspired us to create this course. At Compass North Counseling and Training Services, we believe no one should have to navigate this process alone. That’s why our prep course is in-person, interactive, and designed to foster real-time discussion and connection. You’ll learn alongside others, ask questions as they arise, and build a supportive community that helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.
The Compass North Difference
What sets us apart from other courses?

1 / In-Person Sessions
The majority of AMFTRB exam prep courses are offered online and independently. In our experience, we've found that independent study leaves people confused and having questions with no direct way of getting answers. While we do offer an asynchronous online option, we strongly believe that being in-person makes a noticeable difference. Ask questions in the moment. Interact and learn from others in your cohort. This is what truly sets us apart from other programs.
2 / Personalized Support
Benefit from personalized support and guidance every step of the way. While other online courses provide generic, one-size-fits all feedback (if they give feedback at all), our course is intentionally designed to help you wherever and however you need it most. Whether you have questions about specific content areas or need advice on study strategies, we're here to provide the support you need to succeed.
3 / Interactive Learning
Most AMFTRB exam prep courses rely heavily on sitting, listening, and reading in the hopes you'll memorize their content. That just doesn't work for everyone. Our approach integrates multiple learning styles to meet a variety of needs. Engage in interactive discussions, group activities, and practice sessions that simulate the exam environment.
