MFT Licensure Exam Prep Workshop:
Take the AMFTRB National MFT Exam with Confidence
A 2-day live, interactive, preparation workshop
Preparing for the Examination in Marital and Family Therapy can feel overwhelming. Between theory models, ethics, clinical judgment questions, and test strategy, many qualified clinicians struggle not because they lack knowledge, but because they are answering through their own clinical lens rather than the way the exam is written—and because they do not always know where to start or how to study in a focused way.
When: Saturday, August 22nd, 2026 & Sunday, August 23rd, 2026
Time: 9:00 am - 3:00 pm PST.
Location: Online via Zoom
Cost: $250.00
This workshop is designed to help you approach the exam with clarity, confidence, and a realistic plan.
Whether you are just beginning to study or preparing for a retake, this course combines practical guidance, high-yield content review, and test-taking strategies tailored specifically for the AMFTRB exam.
Please note that California is the only state that does not use the National AMFTRB MFT Exam and instead requires its own California LMFT Clinical Exam.
Who is this workshop for?
Associate MFTs preparing for licensure
Clinicians who have taken the test before and want a stronger approach
Recent graduates getting ready for the exam
Anyone wanting structured support, accountability, and confidence while studying
Does this Sound Familiar?
When you think about studying for the MFT exam, you feel a mix of motivation and overwhelm.
One moment you’re ready to get licensed and move forward; the next, you’re wondering:
• Where do I even start, and what should I actually focus on?
• Why are there so many prep resources for the LPC exam, but so few for MFTs?
• How am I supposed to study while balancing work, school, parenting, clients, or everyday life?
• What if I’m just not good at standardized tests?
• Why do I know this clinically, but still struggle with the way the exam asks it?
• Why does the “best answer” sometimes feel less realistic than what I’d actually do in practice?
• Why do some questions feel culturally narrow, outdated, or disconnected from real families?
We see how much you’re carrying. We know how important this is and how much this matters to you.
You do not need to figure it all out alone or study in isolation. This workshop is designed to give you structure, support, and a clearer path forward so you can move toward licensure with more confidence and less overwhelm.
This is more than a lecture on MFT theories or a generic exam review. It is a practical, supportive AMFTRB MFT exam prep course designed to help you study with purpose, confidence, and direction.
Many clinicians spend months reviewing endless materials, memorizing theory names, or taking practice questions without a clear strategy. This workshop helps you focus on what matters for the National MFT Exam, so you can stop wasting time on low-yield content and scattered study methods.
Why say YES to this workshop?
You’ll learn how to think like the exam, recognize common question patterns, strengthen your clinical reasoning, and better understand how to approach “best answer” questions. We also address the emotional side of test prep—overwhelm, self-doubt, procrastination, and burnout—which are often just as important as the content itself.
Whether you are taking the test for the first time or preparing for a retake, this MFT licensure exam preparation workshop blends clinical knowledge, test-taking strategy, and structured support so you can study smarter—not just harder.

There is no single “right” time to take the AMFTRB MFT exam. Many people hear that the best time is immediately after graduate school because the material may feel fresher, but that does not mean it is the best timing for everyone. Some clinicians need space after years of school, while others are balancing work, parenting, finances, or the demands of associate-level practice.
Some people test soon after graduation, while others wait until they are closer to completing licensure hours. it is never “too late” to begin. What matters most is choosing a timeline that fits your real life and allows you to prepare with consistency, support, and confidence. You know your circumstances better than anyone else.
