BACHELORS, MASTERS AND CLINICAL EXAMS WILL CHANGE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2011
ASWB has recently completed an analysis of the practice of social work in the United States and Canada. This research has led to a revision of examinations, three of which—the Bachelors, Masters, and Clinical examinations-- will be implemented beginning January 1, 2011. The fourth examination revision—to the Advanced Generalist examination-- will be implemented beginning January 1, 2012.
Bachelors, Masters, and Clinical examinations
If you are approved to take the ASWB Bachelors, Masters, or Clinical social work licensing examinations, and your approval extends beyond December 31, 2010, you should become familiar with both the currentand 2011 content outlines before making your examination appointment. You will only be able to take the examination with the current content content through December 31, 2010. Regardless of when you register with ASWB, all candidates for the Bachelors, Masters, and Clinical examinations will take the new examinations beginning January 1, 2011.
Advanced Generalist Examination
The Association of Social Work Boards will not be implementing a new content outline for the Advanced Generalist Examination until January 1, 2012. The content outline for the Advanced Generalist examination will remain unchanged through 2011.
During part of 2011, ASWB will be offering free Advanced Generalist examinations as part of a data-gathering project. Candidates who take the Advanced Generalist examination between January 1 and June 30, 2011 may qualify for a full waiver of the $260 examination fee.
