LCSW
I work in crisis oriented work. I often work late and irregular hours and I'm often on call. I found this study course really great considering that I would have been too tired and busy to go to an in-person course or come home at the end of a long day and read books. I put all my eggs into this study guide basket and it paid off. I got 130 of 150 questions on the exam, so I passed by a fair amount and I only used this guide. I thought the audio lectures were really helpful and Amanda and Bethany were quite captivating considering I was expecting the content to be a bit boring. I actually learned a lot and felt like the course gave me some needed perspective on not just the honor, but also the weight of responsibility that it is to be a licensed therapist. I actually feel much more well versed in DSM 5 changes than prior to taking the course. I have already highly recommended the course to my colleagues. I felt over-prepared taking the exam, which is a good thing. I completed the course in less than 2 months, which felt and sounds a lot better than others who claimed you need to study for 3 months to a year to be prepared--which just isn't realistic for many hard working and busy social workers. THANK YOU, Amanda & Bethany! Very grateful!
