"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
I received this study guide as a Christmas gift about a month before my test. The study guide was a lot different than others I had skimmed. I focused on the audio and quick studies since I was running out of time. I found myself processing the questions differently by the end of the audio which helped tremendously in the exam. I kept running the audio through my head when I had a tough question. If I had not received this study guide for my exam, I truly believe I would not have passed based on how I was processing questions prior. I am now an LMFTA in Indiana!
The program was excellent! I am a mom of two toddlers and working, so I was able to fit it into my schedule. The fact that you can listen to the recordings was so helpful! I did not follow it to a t, but I applied so many of the tips, listened to all the recordings, and took the practice exams and I passed with an 80%!! That is such an accomplishment for me because I graduated 7 years ago and I felt as if I was re-learning so much of the material. It was worth definitely worth every penny!
I tried another exam prep program and felt overwhelmed and quit studying. After completing the TDC exam prep I felt very prepared for the exam. I was able to complete exam with 15 minutes left to go back and review my flagged questions.
I only used this study program and I passed on my first try!! I even spaced it out a lot (over 6 months) and took breaks and because of how the study program is set the information really staying in my head!
When I first started studying for my national MFT exam, I was all over the place. A social worker friend suggested I purchase this course. He highly recommended the course because, like me, he was floundering when studying on his own. The course is organized, has practice exams and quizzes, and puts studying into a perspective that made sense to me. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is studying for the MFT exam.
Excellent Program worth every penny.
I was so nervous about the exam before engaging with TDC. While I still felt fear going in, I felt prepared. I was delighted to not only pass, but exceed the passing score by 25. I am so grateful for the program and cannot recommend it enough. Thank you!
I passed with a 92% on my first try, and TDC was all I used to study. I appreciated the weekly agenda and structure, and I'd highly recommend it. It's worth the investment!
I have used the TDC in preparation for my masters level exam in California as well as the licensure exam for the MFT national exam for the state of Indiana.
And using the study material and being consistent with the TDC has proven to help me with not only passing my exam but also with test anxiety which I never knew I had.
The presentation of the exam study material was straight to the point and also focused on important elements of each exam.
I would suggest and have suggested this study prep to future licensed individuals.
I previously purchased another program that came with a gigantic book and a bunch of pamphlets. It was so daunting. And so passed a few years before I thought I'd try the exam again. I then purchased this program after another friend recommended it and even started and stopped this program a couple times. They were so nice though about restarting my course every time. Fast forward to Covid and I had more time on my hands and it gave me the time to really focus. This program was easy to use and even though it's been almost 20 years since I graduated, after studying the material through twice, I finally felt confident enough to take the exam. I passed!!! And with a higher than expected score. I had been so afraid to take this exam and I can't tell you how much I appreciate this program. There is literally no way I would have passed without this program so THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
This is so far the best program; I have studied from volini and fso prior to the tdc; TDC is excellent material and I like how I got the support from the best coach ever “Robin” I wouldn’t have passed without her support and this material. Thank you so much. I would definitely recommend this to my friends.
This program was really amazing and well worth the time and money. The techniques that are provided, specifically how to approach the questions and determine the best answer, are easy to grasp and very applicable. Really, all parts of the program were beneficial in passing the exam on my first try. It helped keep my organized, on track and having set study days and topics helped me to be present when studying and allowed me to step away and not stress about the time that I was engaging with my family instead of studying because I had a plan to accomplish the entire program in the time frame I desired.
I wanted to send a quick message expressing my utmost gratitude to TDC! I have officially passed the AAMFTRB National Exam and could not be more relieved! :-) After not passing the first time, through a pandemic and through continued hardships, TDC was my lifesaver and the continued positive in a difficult time. I greatly appreciate the positive interactions and support from staff at TDC. My saving grace during the exam was hearing Amanda's voice and processing the reasoning in my head thinking what would I actually genuinely do in that exact setting as taught :-)
Thank you,

I had been out of school for a few years and tried to study on my own (using my textbooks and self-made note cards). Needless to say, I did no pass the first time around. When looking into programs to help me study, I hesitated because of the expirations put on them (i.e. access to these CDs for 3 months and then you have to pay for it again). I could not predict what my life would look like, and did not want to commit to a 3 or 6 month study program just to renew it for the same price. What lowered my anxiety about studying was that this team's promise is to stick with you until you pass. Knowing that the team was cheering me on was not only encouraging, but a big relief. I passed after taking this course!
I really liked this study system! It helped me to feel organized and accomplished as I worked through it. Having a variety of tasks to complete kept me interested and helped me to feel like I was making good progress. I also really appreciated the different formats with which I could engage the material. The tips on HOW to take the test, as well as being able to take a number of practice exams gave me a good feel for the exam, so it felt familiar when I was actually taking it. It also helped me to remain calm and methodically work through the exam. Highly recommend! I passed my exam by a significant margin, so this system was worth the cost for me for sure.
I gave myself exactly 7 weeks to study, used the entire study program and passed!!! It was so helpful to know exactly how and what to study rather than trying to guess. Also, all of the tricks and tips for studying made a HUGE difference on the test. Well worth the money spent!! Thank you!!
As a child, I dreamed of becoming a mental health professional. You help me fulfill me childhood dream today! Thank you! Thank you!
The course helped me focus and take out some of the noise. The term uncertain rang so true throughout the entire process. That is how I explained after the test. I never did pass a practice exam, but I did much better on the exam than I ever imagined. So worth the money and the help.
You will not regret buying this study program. I passed the national MFT exam the first time with flying colors. I am recommending it to all of my friends from graduate school who are preparing to take the exam. This program is great for any learning style and you learn test day strategies that make a difference!
The TDC program more than prepared me for the national MFT exam. I passed on the first try. The practice exams were challenging and taught me how to "think like the test." When I emailed the test coach with a question, the response was quick and encouraging. I highly recommend this program!
