Funding a behavioral-health workforce? We turn trained clinicians into licensed ones.
Your grant recruits and trains clinicians — but they only strengthen the workforce once they pass the national licensure exam. Triad is the exam-prep partner for grant-funded programs: cohort-based prep for LCSW/ASWB, LPC-LMHC, psychology (EPPP), and MFT that converts trainees into licensed, billable clinicians.
The bottleneck isn’t recruitment or training dollars — it’s the exam.
Grant funds pay to recruit and train. Then candidates hit the national exam alone — many stall for months or fail, and the workforce dollars never convert into a licensed, billable clinician. Exam prep is the lowest-cost, highest-conversion dollar in the whole pipeline.
Cohort exam prep, built for grant-funded programs
Every behavioral-health license
Exam prep for LCSW/ASWB, LPC-LMHC (NCE/NCMHCE), psychologist (EPPP), and MFT — one partner, every track.
Pass Guarantee
If a candidate completes the program and doesn’t pass, access extends through the next attempt at no cost.
More than a book
Live expert coaching, adaptive practice, and full-length blueprint-aligned exams — paced across the grant window.
Built for funders
Co-branded with your program and funder; FERPA-aligned monthly cohort reporting with intervention triggers.
Simple to administer
One invoice, net-30. Bulk codes issued and redeemed individually; unused seats reallocate within the grant period.
Write us into your grant
HRSA — BHWET & GPE
The Notice of Funding Opportunity explicitly permits “licensure preparation training materials” as an allowable cost. (The exam fee itself is not allowable — the prep materials are.)
SAMHSA — CCBHC
The FY2026 Notices of Funding Opportunity name “support for staff to obtain licensure” and continuing education as allowable workforce costs.
State & foundation grants
Exam prep fits inside “training,” “workforce development,” or “reduce barriers to licensure” allowable categories — we help you word the budget line.
Position exam prep as a line item in the workforce budget — not the exam registration. We give your grant writers the exact language, so Triad is written in before the award.
