Social
workers must complete forty-eight hours of social work
continuing education during the two-year license period
to be eligible for license renewal.
Social work continuing education has been defined as formalized
activities that are directed at developing and enhancing
an individual's social work knowledge base and service
delivery skills in the applicable areas of social planning,
administration, education, research or direct service
with individuals, couples, families and groups. These
activities may include short academic courses, audit courses
in colleges and universities, independent study courses,
internet courses, workshops, seminars, conferences, and
lectures oriented toward enhancement of social work practice,
values, skills and knowledge.
The Board does not have the capacity to pre-approve all
continuing education workshops. It is the licensee's responsibility,
using his/her professional judgment, to determine the
workshops that are applicable and appropriate to his/her
professional development as a social worker. The continuing
education guidelines may be found Here |
