"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 passed my exam the first time in May 2022 the TDC. I started studying by myself with flash cards and other materials. I quickly felt overwhelmed with my tendency to memorize. I found TDC through researching and I liked their philosophy and their passing rate. I purchased the course in February and gave myself three and half months to study. I studied and went through the course twice . They do a great job in teaching the techniques and philosophy of the test. Once you understand that, it'll give you the confidence. Even though I did not try other programs, I believe this is the best program out there. They explain every tricks behind the questions. Thank you TDC for making this process easier.
The TDC course was comprehensive enough to cover the entire test material yet concise enough to be manageably studied twice within an eight-week period. The program was extremely accurate in the choice of material it focused on - out of 180 test questions, I found only one that was not covered in the prep course. I also loved the personal tone and the support beyond the actual exam material. The TDC prep course taught me not only the material for the exam but also how to prepare myself emotionally in order to reduce my testing anxiety and maximize my chances by maintaining appropriate blood sugar levels, hydration, physical activity, and Cetera.
the TDC was all it promised to be and I am thankful that my intuition led me to choose it amongst all the other options available online.
Thank you, Amanda, for developing this course, and thank you Asya for patiently responding to my questions. I recommend this course wholeheartedly, you guys did a fabulous job preparing me for the national MFT exam!
With great appreciation,

I've been out of grad school for 8 years. My journey to licensure has been full of twists and turns and that's a long time between being an active student taking exams and having to take the exam that determines whether or not you get licensed. Having finally arrived at the stage in which taking the exam was now necessary, I knew I needed help. I love to study but without this program I would have felt lost and overwhelmed by the amount of information available out there. This program helped me feel grounded and sure of myself as I went through the steps. I certainly had some moments in which I was terrified I wouldn't pass. I reached out to one of the coaches and was given some incredible wisdom. As I went in to take the test, I went in grounded and confident knowing it would be hard but that I could pass. Turns out I DID!!! Thank you so much everyone who had a hand in creating this course!
The TDC program was thorough and provided great insight as to how the questions would be asked on the exam. When taking the exam, I felt as if I was taking the exam on TDC which created a familiar feeling and made me feel more in control of taking the test. I do recommend following the program guide as outlined on the site.
As someone who has consistently struggled with test anxiety, the TDC study system gave me the information and confidence to create a plan of attack for my licensing exam. I passed with flying colors on my first attempt. Thanks, TPC!

I have been out of grad school since 2018. In January of this year, I decided to begin studying and take the exam. TDC was the only study material I used. I studied from January to the end of March. I tested in April and passed the exam on the FIRST attempt! The practice exams are so similar to the real exam. This program trains you to think as a test maker. It works! I highly recommend.
My learning experience with TDC was amazing! I learned so much and I think that what worked, at least for me, was the mixed of different ways of studying (audio. reading, quizzes, practice tests). Also, the information is well prepared, straight to the point, and impeccable explained!!
We did it again! I passed the National MFT exam on my first try with a score of 153 (passing was 124). You all helped me pass both of my CA licensing exams 8 years ago on the first try, also scored in the mid to upper 80's percentage wise. Now they helped me pass my National MFT exam on the first attempt. When I reached out for a discount code I was only expecting a small discount and was blown away at the discount you all provided as a returning customer. I can't say enough about TDC and all your help. I am also super excited you all have CEU courses now... you've helped me in many ways and I can't thank you all enough!
This program was so well organized and comprehensive! I appreciated the audio lectures in addition to the quick studies and the many mock exams and quizzes! The program helped me think about HOW to take the test and how eliminate answers which was so needed! I appreciated the context on the top 50 topics as other study programs seemed to just focus on theories and ethics. The research quick studies were also helpful! Thank you all so much! I am so happy I passed!
Thank you, TDC for your support in my studying! I exclusively used the TDC materials and program to study. On test day I even came across an identical question from the TDC practice exam on the real exam! I passed my first time with an 81% May 2022. The passing score was 124 and I received a 147/180. I was consistently scoring a 70% on all of my TDC practice exams so was feeling worried going into exam day. But, TDC set me up for success. Thanks!
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!!!
