Licensure requirements for social workers vary by state and role. Generally, to become a licensed social worker, you need to complete a degree programme in social work (BSW or MSW), accumulate a certain number of supervised practice hours, and pass a licensing examination. Each state has its own specific requirements and licensing boards, so it is important to review the regulations in the state where you plan to practice.
In addition to initial licensure, many states require social workers to complete continuing education courses to maintain their licenses and stay updated on best practices and ethical standards in the field.
