Social Work

I used another study guide three years ago when I took the LSW exam. I passed then but I didn't felt confident going into the exam. I looked for something else to prepare me for the LCSW exam and stumbled upon TDC. I loved how the course was broken down into specific learning areas and how it was a mixture of online practice exams, audio lectures, study sheets, and lectures. I carried the study sheets with me as .pdf files on my smart phone. I also listened to the lectures on my phone as I drove and when I was sitting in traffic.

I passed my LCSW exam 1 week ago. I studied other program materials and failed. I stumbled on TDC's website and what a blessing it was. I loved that it was organized, increased my social work knowledge, and taught exactly what I needed to know to pass the exam. I have been recommending this program to others as I truly feel it works. Thanks also to my coaches and I hope this program helps many others as it helped me.

I just want to thank you and your amazing study system.  I passed my LCSW exam this afternoon (4/12/14) in Virginia.  I failed it in January by just a few points and was so bummed out.  I did not give up and you all graciously gave me an extension with your program.  After I had failed, I put all of my study things away for a few months and picked it back up.  Your program organizes the broad scope of data into a managable and conceivable format to study. I know it is because of the Therapist Development Center that I passed this afternoon!!! Thanks! Well worth it!

TDC's programs are superior! I passed the first CA LCSW exam with ease using TDC and I just passed the LCSW vignette exam using the Therapist Development Center's materials again just 4 months later. These materials are straight forward, clearly communicated and easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Your material was instrumental in my passing the exam.  I was able to finish the exam in a timely manner, because I didn't spend lots of time on wrong answer sets.  Material was easily understandable, not conveluded with additional information to study.  I appreciated the free extensions as well.  Staff got back to me in less than the 2 day time frame.  Thanks.

In preparing for the ASWB clinical exam I felt overwhelmed by the amount of information I felt as thought I "should" study. I was weighed down by trying to memorize material and strategies for answering different types of questions. I appreciated the structure of this study system, the outlines, the lectures and quizzes. It was extremely helpful to know what to study and how to effectively prepare. And despite being insanely nervous, I passed with a 89%! Thank you!

I cannot say enough about this study program! It was fantastically organized, easy to understand and captured so much of what is missing in preparing for the test! You all are angels and have an exceptional product! Thank you for helping me pass!! It is the greatest feeling and I could not have done it without The Therapist Development Center!!! All my praise to you!!!

I used Gerry Grossman for the LCSW written exam and passed, but the materials were so overwhelming and I definitely over studied. For the vignette exam, I only used TDC. The materials were much more manageable and focused. The study plan was quite relaxing. I had an easy time studying and went to the exam with great confidence. My anxiety level was much lower than the first exam. Switching to your company from Gerry's was definitely the right decision to make. I've already recommended your courses to many of my friends. Thanks for being there for us!

I am beyond thankful that I signed up for The Therapist Development Center study package. Prior to signing up for TDC I took the LCSW exam and failed by four points.  Looking back I discovered that I was overwhelmed with using DSM IV-TR, my textbooks, hand me down practice exams and advice from others in the field.  I even purchased books and flashcards from a popular study source which only mimicked my textbooks (utter confusion).  I clearly did not know where to even begin studying and what topics were important for the exam.

In August I took the LMSW test and failed by 7 questions...I studied with the social work study guide my school sold as well as paid for a 4 part lecture class they provided and was mortified of the test. On the day of I couldn't remember anything and stressed out the entire way through.
