"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 am so grateful that I was able to use this program. What helped the most was just having structure in my studies which allowed me to not feel so overwhelmed. Thank you so much!
TDC has never let me down!
TDC was amazing! I 100% recommend this program to everyone!
I have struggled to pass this exam in the past. I knew from the moment that I started studying that something was different and for the first time, I felt prepared. Even though I was not able to finish the course due to my exam date, the information that I obtained and the way that it was explained was enough for me to pass.
I cannot say enough about this course!!!!
I am so grateful for the TDC study program! It helped me to consolidate my years of learning in my master’s program with my hands on work of directly counseling clients. I feel more prepared as a clinician to serve my clients well in treatment and in handling ethical and legal procedures. I am so thankful to have passed on the first try and I know I owe so much of that success to the structure and content of this study program! Thank you for making it such a enjoyable process and for making me feel encouraged along the way.
This was my first time taking the exam and I am so thrilled I passed! I went through the study system and audios and listened to everything twice. I took two breaks during the exam, and I also brought juice and an energy bar to eat during the exam. (I ate a banana before I took the exam). I am really proud with how I did!! The test was definitely difficult, and I am so thankful for this study system. They helped me prepare for the mental marathon that is the MFT licensure exam. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This program really works, I didn’t understand the form they make the questions, I tried few times and I even thought that I couldn’t pass the test because the language being Spanish my first language but this program taught me how to answer the questions and what to look for.
TDC prepared me on how to think about taking the exam and how to apply what I know through my on the job experience and study materials to take the test with confidence. I was more efficient having more time left over and more effective during my exam as compared to my mock full exams I took through TDC! I am very grateful for the approach TDC uses with the uudio lectures, quick studies, quizzes and exams. I was very appreciative of the fast responses I received for all of my questions while I was studying for the exam. My test score far exceeded the passing score the first time I took the test. Thank you again!
When I finally decided to take the exam, went through the entire TDC program, and felt completely confident! I had researched most if not all testing prep courses, and TDC's reviews were phenomenal! Then I took the exam and felt demoralized and convinced I failed! TDC even prepared me for that feeling, and it was just that, a fear! I PASSED and TDC thoroughly prepared me! Amazing program and a special shout to my coach Robin!
TDC's test preparation program was a perfect blend of support, encouragement, practical tips, content review, practice questions and feedback and explanations. It helped me tackle the extensive content covered, think more clearly, practice the needed thinking, identify and rank answers, and even improve my time in taking the exam. My coach's replies were helpful and timely and gave me both tips and support. The way this program is structured is almost as if Amanda were with you taking the test! It really helped me on some of the tougher questions. This testing program did more than prepare me for the exam: it also filled in gaps left by my degree program. I followed the TDC test preparation program as closely as I could, and it worked. I balked at purchasing this program at first because it seemed so expensive, especially after just completing an expensive degree. However, it was extremely helpful, and I am very glad I purchased it and followed it carefully. I went into the exam much more confident than I would have otherwise. I really felt that the full mock exams resembled the actual test in breadth of content, style of asking questions, and in difficulty. It helped me so much! The actual exam did not feel easy by any means, and like others I wasn't sure if I'd passed, but I felt pretty good about my responses on the real test, based on all the practice questions I had completed. Sure enough, I not only passed but could have missed another 21 questions and still passed! TDC Test Prep is worth it. I would not hesitate to recommend it.
I absolutely loved the study program from TDC. I recently passed my MFT licensure exam in AZ and believe that I benefitted greatly from this program. It was well organized and I Loved the recorded lectures. I also found the pep talk at the end very useful. The tips on how to maintain health and nutrition while studying and then through the day of the exam made a huge difference for me. I also want to note that I am blind and using a screen reader called JAWS. I found this site to be very accessible for screen readers as well. Thank you for your help!
While I believe this course was pertinent to my passing my MFT licensing exam, I cannot help but be annoyed at the amount of spelling and grammar errors throughout. HIPAA was spelled as HIPPA in one section. That is inexcusable for this type of study guide.
There is no way I would have passed the National MFT exam without TDC. The sections are divided in a way that is very manageable and the audio lessons are so helpful. The tests were great not only to see where I was and what I needed more study time on, but I was able to use them as a night before the exam study guide. I have been recommending the program to everyone who still needs to take the test! The coaches are also super helpful and get back to you right away!
I absolutely love TDC Study Center. It is a comprehensive and well-organized program. I used TDC for the AMFTRB National Exam and I passed on the first try.
I am an auditory and visual learner. What worked best for me was following the recommended study outline. I also took notes as I listened to each recording. The next day I found it helpful to review my notes to reiterate what I heard and to keep the information fresh in my memory.
I also liked having the option to listen to the audios as much as I needed to. Often times, I heard information that I missed when I previously listened. The quizzes and mock exams helped to steer me to study specific areas where I was weak in. The rationales were also helpful because they allowed me to strengthen my understanding and have a lot of Ah moments.
At the end of the program I felt confident about the information I had studied. As I approached my test date, I felt well prepared, although I didn’t know how much I really knew. I felt full of information and I was able to teach the concepts of each theory to my family members. They seem to enjoy hearing about all of the details to help families resolve their conflict. I highly recommend this program and I am grateful for having this resource.
I started studying in April for a test in July. I took my time, only studying 3-4 days/week for no more than 2-3 hours (as recommended). I continuously got 75%-77% on the mock exams and while that was passing, i really wanted to breakthrough to 80% before taking the exam. I was able to do it for the AMFTRB mock exam but not TDC mock exams. I was very nervous after the exam- felt like i studied for a different exam- the wording of questions was different, felt odd....but alas, i got that 82% when i took it and am so grateful for the guidance of the TDC materials, lectures and suggestions/advice. I believe they are preparing you for a harder exam than the one you take, and that's great!
I can not imagine studying for this exam on my own. The wealth of information that was organized and scheduled in a way that made it seem doable was phenomenal. The test taking strategies were fantastic and real, including taking care of your body before the exam.
Since I failed I am glad that TDC will stay with me through this process till I pass.
This program was phenomenal! It set me up for success and I passed with flying colors. Well worth the investment. Thank you!
I graduate last year 2020 in the middle of the pandemic. I wasn't sure how to even begin to study or prepare for the national test. Then, I found the TDC website. This is an excellent prep program for the national MFT exam. You don't need to study any other material. The lectures and Quick Study handouts were awesome! It was well worth the price. Thank you so much for the presenting a step by step study format.
TDC was outstanding at helping me organize study materials and getting me on a consistent study regimen. The program covered all the content necessary to pass the exam, and helped me learn in a way that was efficient and long lasting. Want to pass the MFT exam? Use TDC!
