We are now one month (31 days) from July 24, when the 2023 NFLPA Collective Bargaining Exam will be held for aspiring NFL agents. If you’re taking the exam, that should give you a little urgency.

Also, if you’re taking the exam, hopefully you’re working with us on passing it. Here’s what we offer. Though there are others out there who have exam prep services, if you’re not using ours, you’re making a big mistake. Here’s why I think so.

  • We were the pioneers in agent exam prep, introducing our first practice exam in 2012. We followed up with a second practice exam in 2018.
  • Ours is the only service that uses a real, live, certified NFLPA contract advisor with multiple first-round clients on his resume to teach our students. Chicago-based Ian Greengross, who teaches our monthly Zoom sessions, represented LSU OH Joseph Addai (1/30, Colts, 2006) and Arkansas OH Darren McFadden (1/4, Raiders, 2008) during the pre-draft phase and on through their NFL careers. 
  • This year’s first-rounders were represented by 16 firms. Of the 16, 15 have at least one agent on staff (some have several) who got certified using our exam prep materials.
  • There were 34 rookie contract advisors who got at least one client on a 90-man roster this year (2023 draft). That’s a huge accomplishment for a first-year agent, especially if you’re an independent representative who’s not with any of the established firms. Of that 34, 23 worked with us on passing the exam. 
  • Of the 13 rookie agents who put multiple clients on NFL rosters this year, 10 worked with us.
  • Of the top 20 agencies based on draft value points since 2007 (i.e., the biggest and best firms in the industry), 16 are still active and have not been absorbed into bigger companies. Of those 16, 14 have used ITL to help in the certification process for at least one agent. Some agencies have used us to help several of its agents pass the exam.

Do our exam prep materials cost money? Sure. You’ve already spent $2,500 just to take the exam, and you probably are trying to contain costs. Remember, in the old days (pre-2020), everyone went to Washington, D.C., for three days/two nights to take the exam. That’s about $1,500 by the time you pay for a flight and spend two nights sleeping, eating and drinking at a luxury hotel. You can get everything we offer — study guide, both practice exams and all seven videos — for about half that. So you’re playing with house money.

If you’re taking the exam this summer, good luck. I really hope you pass. I also really hope you consider using our materials. We’ll give you a far, far greater chance to make it past a very challenging test. Give us a shot.
