I am so glad I found The Therapist Development Center, I found other materials out there to cover too much information and as someone working in the field full time, I just did not want to spend too much time studying daily. TDC breaks it down in a way that is manageable. The approach is so encouraging and empowering. I loved the audio lectures and I found the mock exams to be really good practice for the real thing. I also found the TDC full exam rationales to be even better and more cohesive than the ASWB practice exam ones which I truly appreciated because it helped me significantly when reviewing the exam. I will be recommending this program to every social worker I know who needs to take their licensing exam. I am a person with test anxiety, I do not consider myself to be a "good" test taker when it comes to standardized tests and I was able to pass the exam on my FIRST try. I really appreciate this program and I will gladly vouch for TDC any day. Thank you so much to the TDC team!!! Worth every penny, this is a really great investment in yourself.

The Therapist Development Center program is by far the BEST program on the market. Not only did it help me pass my LMSW on the first attempt but it helped me pass my LICSW too. Unfortunately, I tried to save money and did not utilize the program for my first attempt at the LICSW exam, and I did not pass. It ended up costing more money to retake the ASWB exam than the TDC program. Lastly, not only did I pass the exam (after studying the TDC program), but I genuinely learned valuable information about practicing social work that I will not forget because I now UNDERSTAND. I cannot say enough about TDC. This is a fantastic program and the customer service is superior too. 5 stars all the way. PLEASE look no further.

TDC makes studying manageable. It essentially bullet points the key points and makes the rationales something you can learn from, synthesize, and more forward with.

TDC was awesome. Super informative. Loved the rationales!

I was so anxious going into this test knowing that so many clinicians have had to take it multiple times -- and then when they said they switched to this program and finally passed after I KNEW I had to do it. life changing.

I passed by one point… I got a 103 and needed a 102. But it’s a pass and I will take it!

Excellent course materials TDC has compiled. I am very satisfied TDC's guidance and support. Thank you very much.

I can't speak highly enough about TDC. I walked into my exam feeling well prepared after going through TDC's program, and that sense of preparation was so helpful in managing my test anxiety. I really was able to hear Amanda's voice as I worked through the exam, and my ability to exercise the reasoning skills I developed through TDC helped me feel confident in myself. I know TDC was instrumental in helping me pass the clinical exam, and am equally certain that TDC has made me a better social worker.

I failed the first exam by three points with 2 hours to spare. I had a lot going on personally. I still had a lot going on but I was determined. The TDC was so accommodating and empathetic to my plight. I used the study materials more adequately the second time. I took breaks during my exam and drank water (was not available at my testing location previously). I chose not to request accommodations but knew I had plenty of time to spare. I PASSED!!!!

I used TDC to prepare for the LCSW. I listened to the lectures once and did the exams over and over again. Hearing the information and taking notes is how I learned. I could recall portions of the lectures as I took the tests. The example questions give you an idea of what the test questions are like. Once I started consistently passing the quizzes and mock exams, I felt ready. My score on the example tests was very similar to my actual score.
