I turned 60 yesterday and got my MSW 20 years ago and have been trying to pass the clinical exam for the last three years, today I did. This course taught me how to think like the exam designers and even after failing my first attempt using this system I knew I was on the right track. It has been quite a journey however because culturally as an African-American male I have a completely different orientation than the designers of this program and the exam. TDC taught me how to think around my experience and orientation and to key in on how the exam designers are thinking.

I feel like I absorbed so much more information in this study program. It also was very easy to manage the time and studying which is necessary with a 2 year old... I have already recommended this program to other colleagues of mine that are taking the exam. Great program!

In the midst of moving across state lines during a pandemic, I needed a structured program to help me focus and study for the ASWB Clinical Exam. The exam is HARD and LONGGGGGGGGGG however TDC boosted my confidence and really prepared me! I am now licensed AND a better clinician because of TDC.

Hi! I come from a macro background (got my Master's with a concentration of Community Organizing), and haven't had much education or exposure in clinical/micro material. I didn't know where to start, and I'm so thankful I heard about a TDC through a coworker! I came in with very little knowledge, and learned a great deal over the past few months using this program. I studied about 30-60 minutes almost every day, and planned it out so that I could go through the program twice before taking the full-length mock exams. I really appreciate all the help - anytime I emailed with a question, I got thorough, helpful responses quickly! Thank you so much for this exceptional program!

I wanted to share with you all that I passed my LCSW exam. I am so glad that I regained access to TDC again. It really helped reinforce what I missed on the previous exams. TDC along with the ASWB practice exam I really got a true understanding on how I needed to answer and approach the questions.
Thanks again for all you do to help us all be “our best self”. Also it was good that you updated the therapy section with TFCBT & EDMR because they had a few questions in vignette scenarios.
Thanks Delia

I graduated May 2014 and a month later started studying for the LCSW exam by taking a weekend long course offered by one of the Professors at the University with a group of friends from my cohort. Being that I just graduated and everything was theoretical to me, as I had no frame of reference with most of the information I learned in grad school, it was hard to retain it all. I went on to take the exam and failed. I kept studying and later took the exam again after a year to fail again by a few points. I took a course online after purchasing the ASWB test prep and study guide and failed again by 1 point. I went on to take another study course online and failed again by 1 point. My supervisor recommended I try Hipnosis, and after much thought and consideration, I declined. After studying for 5-6 years, failing more than 5 times amidst a couple family deaths of mine, I finally said to myself I should try this program. I previously stayed away from trying since it was over budget, but seeing now that I have spent more than $2,000 between failing exams and other study materials, I should have taken this program a LONG TIME AGO. I had spent many years studying and trying and only being frustrated and let down. I told myself this would be my last time trying and I was going to put my all into it. I did exactly what the program recommenced and in April 2020 I finally Passed!!!!! The joy and freedom I felt was unreal. What confidence and hope this program provides. I am SO VERU THANKFUL for the service the Therapist Developmental Center team has offered so many other people who feel hopeless and tired. What a blessing you are to many. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am so thankful for TDC. I was lost and all over the place trying to study for the LCSW exam. TDC provided the structure I needed, the visuals, the audios, the quick studies, the quizzes, and the mock exams that I found extremely helpful. I had a ton of questions for the TDC coaches throughout the time I was studying and the explanations I got back in every email were SUPER helpful. I felt like I had a personal coach with me through this journey. I’m so happy I heard about TDC! I don’t know if I would have passed my first try if I didn’t have this program.

The exam covers so much material that without TDC I wouldn't have even known where to begin. Information broken down into manageable sections paired with printable handouts and a recommended timeline for the course really helped me stay focused throughout my studying. I passed my LCSW exam on the first try and I am THANKFUL!

You're program really was amazing and fully prepared me! It was still VERY hard and stressful right to the last question, but I did pass :) I appreciate how especially the mock exams prepared me for the 'real deal', as well as giving my brain stamina and momentum, which I initially did not have. Thank you and keep supporting very capable and competent Social Workers who need help in passing this exam!

BTW, I ended up getting an earlier test date and no longer need the extension that you gave me. Thank You!

I felt so supported by the Therapist Development Center Team. I felt super prepared for my test and was excited to take it and get it behind me. Then the morning of my exam, I showed up and the testing center had been closed that morning due to Covid-19. I was devastated. The TDC team was very responsive and supportive. They reset my practice exams so I would be able to practice again closer to my new test date. When I went to take the exam three months later, I was surprised by how much information I had retained, I had not been studying during those months. With just a brief review I was again confident in my ability to pass the exam!
