I passed the first time! The program was great, and spot on with questions presented on the test. You really can hear the instructors voice, walking you through the test as you take it. Great support, thank you TDC!

TDC prepared me to pass my LCSW on the first try!

Although I had to take the exam several times it was no reflection on your study material. This past year was a very difficult one for me personally. I persevered and never gave up and your materials definitely prepared me for the exam.

I would like to thank the Therapist Development Center and especially Amanda for getting me pass a 25 year hurdle. I received my MSW in 1997 and was later grandfathered into my LMSW. Due to my career options I had never really had a need to complete the journey of obtaining my LCSW. Part of this was also my own fear of taking exams and hearing how difficult the clinical exam was. After dodging the test for almost 20 years I was recently blessed with a job opportunity which required me to get my LCSW. I was concerned about how much had changed in the field over the years in addition to my graduate program 25 years ago was not very clinical. I however decided to face my fears and take the exam. I did my research online and came across the TDC which sounded very promising. I ordered the program and observed that it was perfect for me, as I called it " preparing for the LCSW for dummies". LOL. Upon taking the initial evaluation in the program I scored a 52% which confirmed everything I feared. However in following this course suggestions at my own pace ( 5 months) my scores on the quizzes and mock exam went up to 73% to 76%. In the last unit I read that if you were between the mid to upper 70% you were in good shape which I did not believe. I am please to say that when I sat the exam I found myself knowing almost all the answers and was able to pass with an 81% with 45 minutes to spare. Not only did this course enable me to complete my goal of passing my clinicals but the information that was given throughout the course was so invaluable. I believe the information has made me a much better clinician. I thank you ladies and I would highly recommend The Therapist Development Center to anyone.

I had taken this exam three times prior to signing up to Therapist Development Center. I had tried studying on my own and every time I took the exam, I came VERY CLOSE to passing. I knew that if I was planning to take it a fourth time, I would have to do something different. I knew that at that point, there wasn't any more information I could retain. At that point, it was about learning how to take the test. Therapist Development Center did exactly this! It helped me prepare and understand the test. After using Therapist Development Center, I FINALLY passed! I am so thankful for this course and would recommend it to anyone pursuing their LCSW. Don't wait as long as I did! It's definitely worth the money.

This program is your one-stop shop to pass the exam. It's comprehensive and organized well. I completed the course in less than a week (not recommended) :) but it is how I tackled it. I passed without even getting to the full mock exams. Again, this was due to my own personal timeline issues. I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Follow the plan, it will give you what you need to rock the exam! Thanks Amanda and Team!

TDC has great study material,

I will always be grateful to TDC and especially Coach Heidi! I am a big believer in TDC for exam prep!

I purchased this study program after reading about it online. I then experienced a series of very stressful events, moved across the continent, major surgeries and complications for my husband, had a baby, ect. This made me have to put off studying for awhile. TDC gave me more than 1 extension happily which eased so much worry. I began studying and was shocked at how wonderfully the program was layed out. I didn't quite finish it when I found out if it didn't take my test within the next 2 days, I'd have to wait 3 months. So I consulted TDC staff who went ABOVE AND BEYOND in their emails to me explaining how to be successful. I took the test and passed with a great score! To say I'm pleased with TDC would never be adequate enough. I will recommend this program to everyone I know that needs testing. I'm so grateful for you ladies.

I am a horrible test taker. I have intense exam anxiety and have been known to read questions too quickly to “get the test over with”. I heard about TDC through different exam forums and decided to try it because I found I was really anxious trying to put a study schedule together myself only using Dawn Apgar’s study materials. The break down of all the necessary material and how to read questions was vital to my success on the LCSW exam. I truly believe that I would not have been able to pass without the help of TDC. I would HIGHLY recommend this course to anyone taking the social work exam. Thank you TDC!!!
