Professional Licensing and Exam Preparation
Things Learned:
1. Being a credentialed social worker makes all the difference.
2. Social workers who want recognition for their professional achievements and who want to unlock new career paths go to NASW for their credentials.
3. When social work was developing as a profession, licensure was not established in all states in the U.S. All 50 states regulate licensure, many social workers still take advantage of the NASW credentials as a way of professional identification.
4. As a social worker, you should obtain licensure. It is the law and it identifies your level of education and social work experience for the public.
5. The Association of Social Work Boards is the organization that produces the required licensure examinations for 49 states. California contracts with a different vendor.
The information that I learned will be helpful to know as a social worker because there are requirements needed to be a licensed and credited social worker. It is the law for a social worker to obtain licensure and it is a process to receive it. It is good to be aware of how to become a credited social worker and the requirements.
