The Social Work Code of Ethics requires continuing education as part of lifelong professional development for social workers. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and the Council on Social Work Educationwhich accredits the School of Social Workboth prioritize continuing education. Most states that license social workers require continuing education for license renewal. Currently, the Pennsylvania Board of Social Work, Professional Counseling, and Marriage and Family Therapy Examiners requires 30 hours of social work continuing education for the biennial LSW or LCSW renewalthe current two-year licensing period began March 1, 2003 and will end February 28, 2005.
