Course Overview

AALAS Certification Exam Preparation

Prep Course Details

Designed to help you achieve this milestone, this study course takes your learning style into account so you can ease back into a studying habit and have more success retaining the information. You'll have access to these materials for one full year so you can study at your pace.

We've reorganized how people typically study the ALAT Training Manual. Instead of studying all 33 chapters in order with all administrative chapters first and then all the species-specific chapters, this course pairs up an administrative chapter with a species-specific chapter in each of the 16 modules to make your learning easier.

In each module, we'll instruct you to read one administrative chapter and one species-specific chapter in the ALAT Training Manual. You'll use the following course materials to make the information from the chapters "stick":

• Knowledge pre-checks. See where you are with chapter concepts before you begin.
• Summary videos. Organize the chapter content both conceptually and visually.
• Note-taking worksheets. Move information from the chapter into long-term memory.
• Practice tests. Reveals where knowledge gaps remain and help you practice being ready for that one important shot at the exam.
• Test-taking strategy videos. Prepare for the certification exam experience.

Bonus material:

• Free Brainscape PRO subscription and adaptive flashcards ($100 value). Give Brainscape adaptive flashcards a try.

The practice tests in this course can only be taken once. If you'd like more tests that are also timed and larger, add extra practice tests to your study plan. 

*Please note: This course does not include the ALAT Training Manual nor exam application fees. Visit the AALAS Store to purchase.
