This program was a wonderful prep for the MFT exam and I actually enjoyed preparing. The program doesn't bog you down with a ton of content and really hones in on the "how" of taking the exam, this made all the difference. Thank you for putting this program together and helping me complete this important step on my journey!
TDC takes a wonderful whole-person approach to passing the MFT exams. Exam content, study techniques, and test strategies coupled with an emphasis on self-care which includes rest, exercise, and nutrition is an unbeatable combination! The audio lectures are great. Amanda's empowering words and voice were a continual confidence booster for me. I followed every recommendation Amanda gave. All of it added up to my passing! Witgratitude and thanks for TDC.
Hearing the logic and rationales from Amanda's lectures is grounding, as she comes across authentic, knowledgeable and relevant. It appears to be more focused on getting to the specific information and reasoning understood verses trying to cram in an overabundance of names/details/facts. This program had me looking forward to study time to organize the information in my head. Thank you!
I used TDC to prep for my 2nd attempt at the SWE and it was AMAZING! I truly utilized the test strategies and heard Amanda's voice on hard questions. It really helped me reduce my anxiety. I’m still processing that I passed. :)
Thank you Amanda and team for the excellent preparation for my MFT Standard Written exam. I passed on my first try!! There was so much riding on my passing this exam. I am leaving my training clinic and wanted to take six of my clients with me. However, I suffered from crippling anxiety due to fear of failure. What if I had to tell my clients we had to wait another six months? It was so stressful. Aside from the excellent study materials that were laid out in a very logical, clear way, I found my multiple coaching sessions with Asya to be what pushed me over the top.
As a working mom, I found the TDC program to be a great fit for me as I could listen to the audio at my own pace. The test strategies were incredibly helpful and the coaching session I purchased helped lower my anxiety on test day. I sat down at the computer on test day feeling confident!
Each of my colleagues that have used TDC has passed their exams on their first try. I just passed my first exam and now happily credit TDC too! For me, the course is strongest in 3 areas: organization of the learning content, inclusion of audio lectures to help solidify the "how to" approach and rational of each question, and providing concrete tips and tricks for managing exam anxiety.
On 8/7/15 my almost 8 year journey towards licensure was completed when I passed the CVE on the first try! I left the room half laughing/half crying, definitely shaking, as it felt like such a triumph. I used TDC for both exams and passed both on the first try. What I appreciated the most was the way in which the material was organized and structured. It kept me on track with studying. I felt particular gratitude for the study techniques as well that were geared toward keeping anxiety low and helping me to approach the test at my best. Thank you TDC!
For the vignette test, I heard so many recommendations for TDC from many using the material but who hadn't tested yet. I admit, I was skeptical; there was so much audio - and I'm NOT an audio learner! I went ahead and purchased it - I'm very glad I did. For the MFT CV, learning the strategy was much more important than learning all the information ever created, like the other exam prep materials teach. Once I took notes from the audios, I was able to study the notes when I could. If I was washing dishes, I could put on the audio and listen.
I used the Gerry Grossman system and The Therapist Development Center was much better. I liked the way this program is structured so you know what you need to study and when. It felt like someone was holding my hand through the process of preparing for the test.
