would like the thank the Therapist Development Center for their study program. I began my study journey by attending a workshop offered by my local NASW chapter. I was very overwhelmed by the information provided by the NASW. The TDC lectures and study material helped me prioritize materials by breaking it down into manageable steps. I loved listening to Amanda's lectures. I particularly enjoyed the thorough review of the NASW Code of Ethics. I listened to it over and over again. On test day, I felt like a kid at Christmas - wide awake before sunrise, very excited and nervous. I felt prepared and confident going into the test, but cautious. I used Amanda's thought process for eliminating answers and trusted the process, and it worked! I PASSED on the first try with an 84%! The best part is that I have gained so much from the TDC study system that goes beyond passing a test. I have developed professionally more than I could have imagined by this process! Bethany was always helpful to answer my questions along the way. Thank you again so much for your wonderful service to social workers!
