DOES THIS DESCRIBE YOU?




... You are looking for something that focuses on what you need to know ... nothing less ... and definitely not more!



... You want lots of practice questions that follow NBRC standards, and all with  helpful explanations of why answer choices are correct (or not the most correct!) 



... You are not looking for a textbook review, but a friendly approach with easy-to-understand explanations



... You want to be able to depend on the information presented as reliable, focused, summarized 





That's exactly why we developed Oakes Academy





WHO WE ARE


We know firsthand that taking an expensive standardized exam can be stressful. We are here to help build your confidence. We aren't going to put you through school again ... you've done that ... but we are going to highlight what you should know, what you should study, help teach you how to think like the standardized exam thinks. It's time to conquer. 




We are a strong team of educators that have spent a combined 50+ years teaching at top-performing schools in the United States.





We are the proud author team behind the best-selling Oakes Pocket Guides, #1 for 40+ years now. We know what it takes to research and condense information into just what you need to know. Oh, and our goal is to keep it friendly, more of a classroom conversation than a textbook reiteration.





We have worked tirelessly to perfect this approach. That might explain our high pass rates (our reported pass rates - from people who have used Oakes Academy -  is nearly perfect). That's something we stand proudly behind. It's our passion. We want you to succeed. To take that next step. 

Seriously...We Know our Stuff and have the Reputation to Prove it.

I Managed a 134 when I only needed a 99 to pass!




"Just wanted to reach out and thank you for your help and for conducting the "class study" section of the course. I found everything very helpful and fit my style of learning perfectly. I took the exam and managed a 134 when I only needed a 99 to pass! I felt very confident going into the test and was still confident walking out. I can't thank you enough! Good luck in the future and know that I will recommend Oakes Academy to anyone looking to take the ACCS exam!-"

Because of my studying and Oakes ...




"I want to gain the ACCS credential more than you will know but IF I DON'T ... Last week we had a severe ARDS patient that needed to be transferred to a higher level hospital that didn't have any beds ... because of my studying and Oakes, I knew how to handle this patient CONFIDENTLY and got her through the night until she could be transferred the next morning. Do I know everything? Nope. Do the practice tests still kick my butt? Yup. Am I a better therapist for starting this process? Absolutely! Thank you Oakes for doing these online classes. I appreciate you."

No squeaking by.




"I am sooooooo excited. I have been an RT for almost 40 years. Got your email about the study guide for the ACCS and thought, what the heck, why not. I just finished the exam and I passed easily!!! No squeaking by. Wanted to personally thank you. I am really proud of myself. I had gotten my NPS and figured why not get this one. Just wanted to say, I used Kettering for that exam. And I did pass, but there was A LOT in there that I didn't need to study. Your program covers just what you need to know!!! I will be sure to recommend you to all my friends!!!! Thanks again! And I took my test on Friday the 13th to prove a point. Lol Take Care"

And then I found Oakes Academy.




"Finally stopped beating around the bush and took my test and passed! I bought Kettering and was disappointed in the information, and then found Oakes Academy. You guys blow Kettering out of the water for test prep! Thank you!"

NOT SURE IF OAKES ACADEMY IS RIGHT FOR YOU?


Oakes Academy is NOT for everyone, and we'd prefer to help you figure out if it's not right for you BEFORE you order rather than later





Who Oakes Academy is For 


    •  RTs or Future RTs looking for an organized approach to studying (12 lessons organize everything in our course, although you are welcome to jump around using our Content Outline) 

    • RTs and Future RTs comfortable with computers (no more than electronic charting!) where content can be reviewed and online quizzes and exams taken. All of our information is online and as accessible from your phone as it is a computer or iPAD/tablet.





Who Oakes Academy Might NOT be For 


    •  RTs or Future RTs looking for audio lectures that read the content to you, resulting in passive learning for many. Our goal is to interact with you. Read our content. Read it aloud! Study it. 

    •  RTs and Future RTs who want a book-based product, study guide. Our pages are formatted to be printed when you need that to study from, but we do not have a book version of our content.



It might seem strange, us trying to talk you OUT of using Oakes Academy- but we want you to be happy with what you purchase. Ultimately we want you to be successful, whether it is with our product or someone elses. We all learn a bit differently!
