Referring to any materials or consulting colleagues during the exam is strictly prohibited.
Preparing Behavioral Health Professionals to Join a DBT Team
This course provides a study guide for behavioral health professionals who have successfully completed the two-day DBT training offered through the Community Mental Health Association of Michigan and who plan take the Non-Masters Level Dialectical Behavior Therapy exam. Topics of this course will be provided in the study guide, but will not be provided here to ensure proper test-taking behavior.
The course also contains the non-master's DBT examination.
Did you know that passing the DBT exam doesn't provide a formal certification in DBT? Even so-when you successfully pass the exam, you will receive a certification of completion!
The DBT exam is intended to measure the degree of your understanding related to DBT concepts after you have completed the 2-Day Intro Training.
This 'closed book' exam measures your understanding of DBT as taught in the 2-Day DBT Intro Training through CMHAM.
