What is ASWB?

The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) develops and administers the social work licensing exams used throughout the United States and Canada. The exams are designed to measure entry-level competence at different educational and experience levels within the social work profession.

There are four levels of exams, each pertaining to a different stage of social work education/practice:

  • Bachelors: Typically required for initial licensure as a licensed bachelor’s social worker
  • Masters: Typically required for licensure as a licensed master social worker
  • Advanced Generalist: For social workers who have completed required post-degree supervised experience
  • Clinical: For social workers who have completed required post-degree supervised clinical experience

Your state or provincial licensing board determines which exam level is required for the license you are seeking. Licensure requirements also vary by jurisdiction, so be sure to check which requirements apply to you.
