Continuing Education for Social Workers

NASW’s Professional Education and Training Center is an online tool that enables social workers to access education and training 24 hours a day. NASW is currently building a wide variety of courses covering numerous practice areas. All courses offered are NASW accredited.

These live monthly hour long teleconferences are exclusively for NASW members. The Lunchtime Series highlights the latest social work issues being addressed by NASW. Besides a live teleconference, members can access the transcripts and audio/pod cast component of the teleconference 24/7 through NASW’s Web site. Members may also earn continuing education units (CEUs) upon successful completion of an online test following each teleconference.

The NASW Specialty Practice Sections provide social workers with the latest trends, treatment strategies, policies, and information on social work issues. We give you the edge you need to stay abreast of what's happening in the profession and to be most effective in doing your job. Choose from one (or more) of the nine Specialty Practice Sections, and let the power of your NASW membership work for you. Join Online Today!

NASW WebEd is the venue for online course offerings developed and offered by the NASW National Office. NASW WebEd courses are credited and social workers who pass the course exam will receive CEUs.

NASW offers formal social work continuing education (CE) approval for programs that meet our criteria.

These educational offerings may then be used by social workers to meet the continuing education requirement for social work licensure/certification renewal.

All providers who offer continuing education programs that are relevant to social workers may submit an application. These include, but are not limited to, providers of workshops, conferences, home study programs, and internet-based distance-learning education.
