Exam preapprovals

Through ASWB’s exam preapproval program, approved candidates may register immediately for the exam because the transfer of preapproval data to the ASWB Candidate Services Center is automatic. The preapproval system also receives and stores the exam scores of licensure applicants.

ASWB currently handles examination preapproval for Colorado, Maine, Texas, and Utah

License applications

The ASWB application and license issuance service offers online application processing, along with the ability to develop and produce licensure applications to the specifications of individual boards/colleges in all jurisdictions.

The service can also be integrated with other ASWB contract services, further saving social work regulatory boards time and money.

Since 2005, the Association of Social Work Boards has processed social work licensing applications on behalf of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Board of Registration of Social Workers. ASWB processes more than 2,000 applications per year.

CE audit services

Continuing education audits can be a time-consuming and costly process, diverting a board’s resources away from more important business. ASWB can help social work regulators conduct effective, efficient CE audits, measuring compliance for any portion of your licensees. We offer flexible services, depending on the scale and timeline of your audit, and we can handle all communications with licensees selected for audits.

Currently, ASWB conducts CE audits in Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, and North Carolina.
