I highly recommend TDC to anyone needing more structure in studying for the LMSW. She does a good job of breaking down the material. I especially found the exams useful and the mini quizzes to assess where I am along my studying journey.

If you are not a "book learner" try Therapy Development. The online sessions that you can listen to at your own pace and start/stop helped me pass on the first try.

I did appreciate the different options of studying (recordings, practice exam quizzes, print outs) it was very helpful.

I have attempted this exam over and over again feeling like I wanted to give up. A friend suggested this and said it really helped her focus and pass the test. The practice test, study guides, lectures, and reviews helped me increase my confidence and understand material. I could not recommend this program more!

Loved it!

Audio lectures and quizzes definitely helped me with the exam.

I’m thankful for the course and felt well prepared.

I failed my first time, and I was so nervous to try again, I could not find any dependable material to study. I tried a few others but after researching other user's experience, I did not have much confidence. I googled and found TDC, and said well, why not?
The structure was gold. I balanced listening to podcasts alongside my full-time job, doing some quick studies and exams. I needed to hear the "take a break." "eat." and "attack the exam." The balance was a huge help to my mindset--at the end before clicking enter I said "I did what I could!" Thanks to TDC for giving me my confidence back!

I started studying for my exam about 2 months after finishing my Social Work degree. I tried doing it on my own for a while and knew that I needed to find something that was structured and could guide me through the necessary material. I had heard about TDC through a classmate and decided to try it. It was what I was hoping for- a guide with a valuable source of information and a timeline to follow. I had just started the program when I had an unexpected change in work schedule and didn't go through the program as I hoped. I contacted TDC to request added time because I wanted to take full advantage of the program. They were happy to help and after reviewing everything as I originally had planned, I soon took my exam (for the first time) and I passed! TDC was extremely helpful.

I had this program for a while, but balancing work, school, and life made it difficult to dedicate time to studying. As a result, I studied sporadically whenever I could. Recently, I finally had the opportunity to focus and completed this program in a week. It can be intense, but it’s definitely manageable if you’re up for the challenge. I passed my exam on the first try, surpassing the required passing score.

The program itself is well-organized and provides clear guidance through audio lessons and quick-study materials. The practice exams are especially helpful in assessing where you stand and identifying areas that may need more focus. Reaching out to TDC when I needed to was also a smooth process and a response was received promptly. I look forward to using TDC again when preparing for my LCSW exam in the future.
