Hoang’s Hand Exam Prep Program For OTs and PTs who want to prepare for the CHT exam and study in a way that increases their chance of passing the first time.
This is YOUR opportunity to be able to prepare for the Hand Therapy Exam with less overwhelm, less reading, and in less time.
How this program is different from our other ones.
First, this program is nothing like Hoang’s other programs….like Hand Therapy Mentorship or Orthosis 101.
Those programs are about providing treatments….making splints….
THIS program is about YOU studying in a way that will help you pass the Hand Therapy Exam for the 1st time.
It’s about holding you accountable to prepare, keeping you focused to cover all the topics, and help you think through problems in a way that you feel good about the decisions you need to make as the expert hand therapist. It’s about helping you BE the CHT before you BECOME the CHT.
How big is your ambition?
Your desire to WANT to become a certified hand therapist is VITAL.
That means not everyone is qualified to join us and to be one of the chosen ones you must already be an OT or PT and be qualified to sit for the hand therapy exam.
To be qualified:
- You have at least 3 years of experience as a licensed OT or PT (no assistants).
- You have to have at least 4,000 hours in upper extremity therapy management (it doesn’t have to be an outpatient clinic or with a CHT).
What makes you qualified is not the number of years, hours, or where you work but rather your AMBITION to become a great certified hand therapist.
You must want to learn beyond just memorizing the textbooks, be open to learning how to APPLY what you do know, and become the kind of therapist who thinks for yourself so that you can become a critical thinker and decision-maker.
There is significant investment needed from you – your time, energy, and money. You will need to COMMIT and STRETCH your mind in order to get the best possible outcomes from this program to pass and become a certified hand therapist.
What you will get is our commitment to working with you until you pass the exam. You will receive 6 months of access to the program, mentorship from myself, and support from my team that will take you from feeling overwhelmed, tired, and confused to a therapist who feels confident and clear about becoming the best in your area.
You will be set up to deliver more VALUE to your patients and have more TIME for yourself and your family once you’ve confidently passed the exam with our help.
Here’s how this program can help you prepare to take the exam sooner rather than later:
- Study all the critical topics that will be on the exam.
- Cover all areas of anatomy, diagnosis, and protocols.
- Show you how to apply what you know into actual treatment practice.
- Get clear and concise answers to areas you are unsure of.
- Stay accountable and focused on your goal of sitting for the CHT exam.
- Feel empowered and more confident about your progress.
Here’s what you get as a result of your participation.
- Cut your reading time in half with her strategies. Access to our video library where Hoang goes in-depth on all the major topics. Get your exclusive login and gain access to videos to watch over and over.
- Actually, have FUN studying for the exam. Get the strategies and tools that make studying for the exam easier by applying your knowledge and not just memorization. No matter your learning style or struggles with reading or attention, you’ll be able to study in a way that will make it easier for you to get through all the topics.
- Get real-time help with a CHT. Access to live mentorship calls where you can go in-depth on topics and have discussions of cases, and answers to your questions. This is an important part of your program where you can get support from Hoang and her team of CHTs to answer any questions that you may have.
- Get personalized attention to clear up any confusion. Join structured group calls to help to solidify what you know, get laser-focused on the topics you need to cover and go through practice questions. This is the built-in accountability group that keeps you going strong no matter how you might want to give up.
- Prepare to take the exam sooner than later. Go faster towards your goal by joining a group of like-minded therapists who are committed and want to have the highest credentials in hand therapy. Learn from others and have others contribute to your learning by being in the room where all the discussions are happening.

If you are not looking to become a world-class CHT and already know everything to pass the hand therapy exam - then don’t apply
I want to be upfront and make no apologies about it.
I cover all the major topics but it’s taught in a way to help you understand concepts. Writing and paying attention is a major part of the prep work. So you’ll be taking notes, watching videos, and required to send in questions when you don’t understand something.
I’m not just going to give you the “PowerPoint slides” and you can’t just “ buy my notes. You are required to make your own notes so that you can prepare to pass the exam.
This program requires your effort!
There’s a large portion of knowledge base facts that you have to learn along the way and a large focus on mindset – being able to shift from negative thinking to positive in order to see your success.
As a bonus, you’ll have more time, more fun, and enjoy the journey of becoming a certified hand therapist. So you too can have more choices and autonomy in your career.

If something happens and your plan is altered, we have a Bridge program that you can enroll in if you need more time. The Bridge program is an extension of the Hand Exam Prep. It’s the bridge that will allow you to keep your access to the structure and support that you need to help you to the next exam date. The Bridge program only is $594 for 6 months to continue to have access to the program and support. You will get access to all the live calls and library videos again until the next exam.
If you have failed, we request your scores and do a Score Audit. It’s an opportunity to assess your strengths, go over your experiences, study schedule, and create a plan of focus. We have found that minor tweaks if you have gone through at least 6 months with us, and your score is less than 10 points away, is the key to bridging the gap so that you can pass the next time. You can then continue with us in the Bridge program which allows you continued access to the program and all the benefits.
Once you have joined the program and you need to take a break due to life events, you are always welcomed back in under the Bridge program. We have had students take breaks due to health issues, pregnancies, and so many more reasons. We know that this is a journey, and we are here to support you.
We offer private tutoring once you are inside the program. Private tutoring is for someone who wants more one-on-one time to go over topics and questions. This is also great for anyone who’s failed in the past or has limited work experience in complex hand cases.
