I don't want to share this as a testimonial, and don't want this comment placed into a public domain, it's just for you guys. I think your course is excellent. The Top 50 topics lectures, the mock exams and rationale recordings, the pep talk, etc., and going through the exam, it definitely helped to "take Amanda into the exam with me," as I reasoned through the answers. I gave this feedback to Heidi on facebook, but will reiterate, that in some of your materials, there is still the use of some outdated language, such as "substance abuser," "addict," "criminal," "prisoner," etc. I would just encourage you guys to review your materials and everywhere you find that language, substitute person first language, such as "person with a substance use disorder," "person with a history of incarceration," substance misuse, etc. The use of outdated stigmatizing language is hurtful, and everyone in the field should be moving to use of person first language. If you're not familiar with this resource, you can consult the A-ddictionary. It's a great reference. Also, as an aside, in one of the mock exams, I encountered several instances of this old, outdated language, and that made me question whether the exam was really a reflection of what I was going to encounter on test day.

Otherwise, great job, great course!! I never would have passed without you guys.
Thank you!!

This program is great!! It organizes your study for you so all you have to do is create your study schedule and follow it. I loved listening to Amanda and her rational for the "First, Next, Must " questions. It was the tool I needed to pass this test. I truly found that during the test I had her voice in my head talking through the questions. I was recommended this program from a colleague of mine and I would recommend it to anyone, if it totally worth every cent.

I was very nervous about taking the test, but The Therapist Development Center gave me the tools and the confidence I needed. I felt that I had prepared appropriately, and I felt like they were there with me in the testing center giving me confidence while I took the exam. Thank you for making this an organized process for me!

PASSED!!!!

I needed 103 to pass and scored 120! I followed all the tip and suggestions TDC made as far as taking a snack, when to take a break, doing some self care before the exam, etc. Thank you!

I have used TDC twice now (law and ethics and LCSW exams) and couldn't recommend it more. The program is comprehensive, easy to use, and prepared me with confidence for both tests. The coaches are responsive and helpful and the mix of listening, reading, and practice tests will help you succeed no matter how you learn. Thank you TDC!

Great self paced and well designed system. My brain hurts a bit, but I PASSED! I felt confident going into the exam. Still a bit anxious, but prepared. Thanks!

very thorough in covering ethics, and the DSM 5 diagnostics. The quick studies, I found them challenging, I would of like a lecture on macro social work. I found it difficult to differentiate between development, advocacy and evaluation.

I felt so defeated after multiple failures. With this program I knew I only had to study this program not multiple different books or references. The steps made it easy to follow and outline my study time. I feel like it’s a great program and will recommend it to anyone.

I came to TDC after failing the LCSW exam twice. There were so many times when I just wanted to give up on retaking the test out of fear of failing again, but I'm so glad I didn't. I was beyond impressed with the information and support TDC provides. They truly are with you UNTIL YOU PASS and words can't describe how thankful I am for this study system. I'm not a good test taker, but this system helps improve your ability to take a 4 hour clinical exam. The quizzes, quick studies, and mock exams were the most helpful for me. The feeling I have is unbelievable and I can't thank TDC enough for helping me prepare for this exam. If you truly put in the effort and take this program seriously, I promise you WILL PASS!
