"I like how organized, detailed, and repetitive your program is laid out. I have used other online programs and books for the National MFT exam and they gave too much information that overwhelmed me. Your program definitely covers the topics and your mock exams are great examples of questions on the exam. Thank you." -Jill Fishman
Course Reviews
TDC was an answer to prayer. I needed a comprehensive study package that would review everything as it had been many years since I was in school due to taking time off to raise my kids. The program is well organized, informative, and easy to follow. It uses various modes of learning to reinforce the concepts. TDC not only enabled me to pass the test with flying colors, but made me a better clinician in the process.

If you want guaranteed results and a passing score the 1st time TDC is the way to go. I was prepared for my exam and they have exactly what you need. They are knowledgable and they have the best step-by-step format you could ever ask for.
Thank you, TDC! I PASSED the National MFT exam!!!! I moved from CA with an AMFT only to find out that NC was much different in their licensure process. I had to take this exam first in order to even apply for an LMFTA here. YIKES!!! I was not prepared for this news but TDC you did it! In a short, two or so months, you got me through the exam!!! I studied only with your materials. I followed all of Amanda's recommendations and guidance and also went through the materials twice! I heeded her wisdom of letting go of perfection and just PASS, this exam. I am forever grateful and I thank you, thank you, thank you.
TDC helped me focus and organize material I had not looked at in 20 years. I had so much going on in my life during my study times and the recordings and handouts were done in such a way that I was able to spend the time I could going through the program and reviewing. I did not even take the full mock exam and still was able to pass on my first try using this program. I’m beyond thankful I purchased this.
I had taken the exam twice and felt defeated that I didn't have a study system that worked. I found TDC and started meeting with a study group. Times three and four that I took the exam, I had studied a little bit, but not as much as I should using TDC. I really hit the program hard in November of 2021, and took my exam this past February. Time #1 I missed it by 12 points. Time #2 I missed it by 7 points. Time #3 I missed it by 3 points. Time #4 I missed it by 2 points. I had almost given up completely. I got my scores today. Passing was 125, and I made a 141! Thank you TDC for being a program that truly sticks with you till you pass!
Followed the program while working full time and passed on the first try!
TDC is so much more than a study system. It is a coach, a positive voice in your ear cheering you on, a toolbag with more tricks than you can imagine, and a guarantee that they will support you until you pass. I had previously taken the exam twice and I actually did fail by 1 point my third time taking the MFT exam while using TDC, but I did not utilize the study program in its entirety. After failing for the third time and working through my own shame and guilt, I studied every day and changed my mindset. I went into the exam the 4th time with so much confidence that when I pushed submit with 3 minutes and 36 seconds left, I closed my eyes, laid my head back, and smiled-knowing I passed this time. I knew I finally reached my career goal and all of the blood, sweat, tears, time, and money lead to this moment. TDC is the best and ONLY study system that should be used for the MFT licensure exam and I am so thankful that it exists!!! Thank you - thank you - thank you for helping my dreams become a reality.
excellent! Passed with one point to spare!!! First time taking the MFT exam and cram studied for 2 months.
The TDC prep had everything I needed to pass the exam. I did not need to use other source material (although interacting with the material in different ways was helpful to me personally. Example: recording myself reading my notes.) The DSM portion was particularly helpful for such a cumbersome amount of material.
TDC works if you follow the suggestions . Keep going and dont give up until you pass! They will stay with you!
Trust in your knowledge and use the resources! It took me 4 times but I did it! Thanks TDC!!!
This program proved to be extremely helpful for me in passing the MFT exam. Being taught various techniques and methodologies was essential to my passing. I am not a good test taker and prior to taking the exam, I was performing poorly on the practice exams. Being taught fundamental techniques such as "when looking at my choices on the exam, think of what would I do first? Or which answer is the most reasonable?" were techniques that I sadly had not considered before. I believe the refreshing of materials and having these fundamental techniques in mind are the reasons I passed on my first try!
I was so nervous about the exam but this study program made me feel confident and not just knowing what information would be tested but HOW to take the exam and how to read each question.
TDC is the best study material out there! I passed the MFT exam on the first try! The lectures were done so that made learning material easy and the questions on the mock exams were very similar to those on the actual exam! Trust the process and follow the lectures and exams and you will be prepared!
Excellent, comprehensive study system that allowed me to pass with ease on the first try!
I am always amazed with the way TDC prepares me for passing an exam. I used TDC to take the California MFT exam, and passed it on the first try. I of course turned to TDC again to study for the National MFT exam and I was honestly feeling that I could have studied more, and almost decided to postpone the exam. Needless to day, I moved forward, took the National MFT exam and passed on the first try. Thank you Amanda!
Oh my gosh, I just found out I passed and am so incredibly relieved! The TDC study material was so helpful and really helped my confidence going into the exam. Thank you for putting together such an excellent resource. I really think it not only helped me pass the exam, but has made me a better therapist.
This course is amazing and focused on helping good therapists to improve their test taking strategies and improve their ability to think through each question on the test. I loved having the verbal audio explanations as well as the many supplemental resources. Had to postpone my test for over 2 years and was so happy this program is really with you until you pass. Probably extended it via email at least 6 times, worth the money and the resource I would recommend for anyone wanting to pass the MFT exam.
I would highly recommend this program to anyone prepping for the exam. I could not have imagined taking the exam without this program. The TDC provides the material in an organized fashion and helped me in understanding how to think about the questions and how to approach the exam. So grateful for this program!
Mother of two small children with minimal time to study. Listened to the program on my commute and passes with a 90%!!!
TDC was a great foundation in getting ready for the exam, I failed the exam 1x without TDC, missed it the 2nd time by several points with TDC, went back to retake all the TDC exams and passed the 3rd time. Worth the investment... GOD Speed !
