Social Work

The Therapist Development Center is an excellent program that teaches you precisely what you need to know for the clinical vignette exam. I passed the exam after taking it once. Using the Study Plan Worksheet provided, I was able to organize my study time in such a
way that still allowed me to have a social life and be a great mommy! The availability of the coaches was AMAZING. I would only recommend this program.  It feels awesome to officially be an LCSW!

I could not have passed my exam without this study guide.  I have tried other exam prep materials, and did not score well on any of the practice tests.  I would recommend this guide to anyone.

I took the LCSW exam this morning and passed!  I can't thank you enough and have already shared my experience with TDC with my colleagues. Confession: I have test anxiety, so I caved and I did use other study systems (AATBS flash cards, practice tests, other random practice tests), but I do believe that your system really made the difference. I could have saved the extra money I spent.

I had previously taken this exam and used materials from another testing company and did not pass.  A friend had used TDC's system and passed first time, BOTH exams! I called the Therapist Development Center and Amanda called me back herself!

PASSSSED AND ELATED. Was debating whether to purchase this since its $350 and as social workers we dont make alot anyway. I am SO SO SO glad my co worker basically forced me every day to commit and do it because you teach the exact info for the test without having to veer off and be blind studying just whatever aimlessly. I followed every word of the program and listened to it twice in full. Reviewed those study packets for about 2 wks and memorized. I went in confident and super prepared.

Despite purchasing a different study system, a week before the LMSW test I truly wasn't sure if I was going to pass. I didn't want to postpone the test and decided to sign up for TDC's course. I'm so glad I did. I was amazed at the quality of content. The quick study guides were incredibly helpful and I particularly appreciated how the format of their practice test mirrored the format of the actual LMSW test.

I have to say that I am impressed with the study system of overall, since beginning I have been using many of the clinical applications in my work as a clinician in Adult Psychiatry which has improved my overall clinical judgement and since of direction in my casework.

Thank you TDC for preparing me for both exams. While they were both challenging, I put a lot of trust in the strategies provided by Amanda and it paid off. I passed both exams on the first try! I am so happy to see those four letters after my name-- LCSW!

The LCSW exam study program was outstanding. The program is very organized, thorough, and comprehensive. Equally as valuable as the social work content were the many testing tips like feed your brain, and "lean in" to the test.  With the study program I was able to learn to "think for the test". I learned how to analyze the test questions, prioritize the answers, and not be intimidated by "FIRST" or "BEST" questions. I cannot recommend this study program enough. It is invaluable to anyone preparing for the exam.

I would just like to say how much I loved the study program for the California clinical vignette exam. I had been using another test prep company and had taken the vignette exam twice without passing. Through a friend I heard about your program and dove in. For the first time over the 4 years I have been trying to pass this test, I finally understood the methodology and really felt the frames helped me pass. Thank you so much! I will recommend your program to all my colleagues!
