Level Up Psych Academy Skool Review (2026)

Five hundred and sixty-four modules. That is the number that separates Level Up Psych Academy from almost everything else in its price band on Skool.

The room is small, though. Four hundred and sixteen members, 14 reviews, $199 a month.

And the audience is narrow in a way that decides the question for most readers immediately. This is training for psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, taught by a psychiatrist.

How this review was built. I have not joined Level Up Psych Academy and no money has moved in either direction. The material below comes from the community’s public About page on Skool, the review panel Skool restricts to paying members, and the owner’s public profile and links, captured on 9 September 2026. Where a figure belongs to the sales copy rather than Skool’s own records, I say so.

Quick Decision

Join if you are a PMHNP, a PA or an NP who prescribes, you want structured psychiatry teaching on top of your programme, and $199 a month sits inside your professional development budget. The library is unusually deep, the founder is fully identifiable, and the trial costs nothing to start.

Do not join if you need documented CE hours. The listing never mentions accreditation, and that gap deserves a direct question before you subscribe.

Do not join if you are outside clinical practice. Nothing here is designed for a general audience, and 564 modules on prescribing decisions are no use to someone who cannot prescribe.

This Is Clinician Training, Not Treatment

I want to be exact about what is on sale, because the subject matter invites confusion.

The community teaches licensed and training clinicians how to practise psychiatry. The description calls it a psychiatry academy for PMHNPs, run by a psychiatrist. The sales copy speaks to a reader who doubts a diagnosis, tries a medication that does not work, and freezes on a hard case.

That is a professional audience talking about patients. It is not therapy, counselling or treatment for the person reading, and nothing on the listing offers that.

If you are here because of your own mental health, this is the wrong product and the wrong article. Speak to a qualified clinician, a doctor or a local crisis service. No online community, this one included, is a substitute for care from someone who can assess you.

Everything below is an assessment of a paid education product, judged on the same terms as any other.

Inside: 17 Courses, 564 Modules, 841 Posts

Five hundred and sixty-four modules across 17 courses averages 33 units per course. Most Skool communities I look at land between 8 and 15.

Apply a discount to that number, though. The seller separately describes the training as 20 or more hours, which across 564 modules would average about two minutes each. So a large share of these units are short reference pieces, cheat sheets and algorithm cards rather than full lessons. That is a reasonable format for clinical reference material. It also means module count alone overstates the teaching time.

The stated contents are specific. More than 20 hours of psychiatry training covering what to prescribe and why. Weekly live Q and A sessions where members bring difficult cases and leave with a plan. Cheat sheets and treatment algorithms described as usable in clinic the same day. And a peer group of other PMHNPs plus the founder.

The feed backs up the community claim better than most listings at this price. Eight hundred and forty-one posts across 416 members is roughly two posts per member, and nine people were online at capture, which is 2.2% of the room. Three admins serve 416 members, or one per 139.

One media note. The listing carries five gallery images and a single video. For a $199 product there is not much preview material to judge from before you start the trial.

The Accreditation Question The Page Never Answers

Nothing on the listing mentions CE credit, CME, contact hours or an accrediting body.

I searched the description, the sales copy and the course structure. The words do not appear.

For most Skool communities that would be irrelevant. For this one it is the most important omission on the page. Nurse practitioners renew licences against documented continuing education hours, and a $199 monthly spend that produces no certificate is a different purchase from one that does.

The absence is not a claim of wrongdoing. Plenty of excellent clinical teaching carries no accreditation, and the seller never says otherwise. He does not promise credit anywhere, which is better than implying it.

Treat it as an open question you must close yourself. Ask before you subscribe, get the answer in writing, and price the membership as pure skills training if the answer is no.

Dr Agam Dhawan, And A Profile You Can Actually Check

The owner is Dr Agam Dhawan, listed as a psychiatrist based in Miami, on Skool since 31 January 2023.

His bio is one line: psychiatrist, helping PMHNPs practise psychiatry with confidence.

The links field is where this listing separates itself. Six public accounts are published: a website at agamdhawanmd.com, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Facebook. Most owners I write about publish none.

That matters more here than in a marketing community. A named physician with a public LinkedIn and a public website is a person whose credentials you can check against a licensing board before you hand over $199. Do that check yourself rather than taking my word or his.

The account also carries a crown MRR badge, which Skool assigns from its own revenue data rather than from anything the owner enters.

Two claims stay on the seller’s side of the line. The 11 years of training figure comes from the sales copy, not from Skool. So does the description’s claim to be the number one psychiatry academy for PMHNPs, which is marketing language with no ranking behind it.

$199 A Month, And An Annual Price Nobody Publishes

Skool’s structured record shows $199 per month in US dollars. That is $2,388 across a year.

The button reads START FREE TRIAL rather than JOIN, so the first click does not charge you.

Two things about the pricing are less tidy. The copy sells the annual plan as $4 a day, which works out at roughly $1,460 a year, or about 39% below twelve monthly payments. That annual price is never printed on the listing. You are told the daily equivalent and left to reverse the arithmetic.

The trial length is also missing. The page says free trial and cancel anytime, and never says for how many days. At $199 a month, the difference between a 7 day and a 14 day window is the whole evaluation.

Both gaps are fixable at checkout in about thirty seconds. Do it before you enter a card, and put the first billing date in your calendar the same day.

The comparison the page makes for you

The copy prices the membership against a monthly collaborating physician fee and against a PMHNP programme, arguing both cost more and deliver less. That is the seller’s framing, not a verified comparison, and collaborating physician rates vary widely by state. Run your own number rather than accepting the one on the page.

Fourteen Reviews, All Of Them Recent

Fourteen reviews from 416 members is a 3.4% response rate, at a 4.9 average.

That is a thin evidence base. Fourteen opinions can be swayed by two enthusiastic members, and I weight it accordingly. Skool does block non-paying accounts from the review panel, so the 50% affiliate rate cannot reach these fourteen.

There is one detail worth noting in the arithmetic. The average is 4.9 while all five visible review bodies are five stars, which means at least one rating below five sits among the fourteen with its text not showing. The page does not let you read it.

A new PMHNP writes that the guidance made her new role easier and describes the owner as a mentor who cares about the growth of new and experienced providers (a member review on Skool, September 2026). Another member says the platform is easy to return to for revision, that revisiting material lets her measure her own growth, and that direct chat access matters to her (a member review on Skool, September 2026). A third says she has been a member since September 2025 and values being taught how to think through complex cases and how to start a practice (a member review on Skool, September 2026).

What the reviews do not say

Nobody mentions CE credit. Nobody mentions a certificate.

Nobody names a salary change, a caseload figure or a practice launch that generated income. The praise is about confidence, clarity, case discussion and access to the founder, which is consistent with what the page sells but stops short of any measurable outcome.

One member notes the value of asking a question and hearing other perspectives while accepting there is no single right answer (a member review on Skool, August 2026). Read as a whole, this review set describes a teaching room rather than a results machine.

Look Elsewhere If

• You need documented CE hours. Accreditation is absent from the entire listing.
• You do not prescribe. All 564 modules assume clinical practice.
• You want a large review base before paying. Fourteen reviews cover 416 members.
• You want your own mental health addressed. Take that to a qualified clinician instead.

My Verdict

I score Level Up Psych Academy 4.2 out of 5.

The founder record is the strongest I have seen on a Skool listing this year. A named physician, a location, six public links including LinkedIn and a website, on the platform since 2023, with a crown badge Skool issues rather than the seller. A prospective buyer can verify the person before paying, which is rare. The library is deep at 564 modules, the feed is genuinely used at two posts per member, and the free trial removes the cost of looking.

The deductions come from three specific gaps. Accreditation is never addressed, which is the one thing a licensed clinician most needs to know at $199 a month. The annual price is implied at $4 a day but never printed. And 14 reviews from 416 members is too small a sample to lean on, with at least one sub-five rating hidden inside the average.

Start the trial, ask about CE hours in the first week, and confirm the annual figure before the first charge. For a cheaper community in a different field, our AI Profit Boardroom review covers a $59 a month room, and the AI SEO Rainmakers review looks at what $269 a month buys at the top of the platform.
