^{...the power of social work}

Welcome to NASW Washington Chapter!

ON-LINE CONTINUING EDUCATION IS HERE

The NASW Washington State Chapter has Continuing Education online!

NASW WA Chapter is developing online CE for the convenience of its members. There will be several types of online Continuing Education (CE):
 

1. On Demand CE
 

2. Live Webcast Internet feed of a live face to face workshop
 

To access the Online Continuing education services, click on the “Online Continuing Education” link found under “Quick Links” or the yellow "NASW-WA CE Online Institute" Button or the “Online Continuing Education” link under the Continuing Education tab found at www.nasw-wa.org.

The On-Demand CE Catalog will offer a variety of workshops. On-Demand CE is your one-stop online self-study education site, featuring a variety of web-based seminars. Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, this diverse collection of seminars ensures that you'll be able to find a practical, insightful course in a number of available fields.

Live Webcasts are seminars that are broadcast live over the Internet in real time. These workshops will be a combination of WA Chapter sponsored workshops and workshops the WA Chapter has partnered with through another vendor.

The NASW WA Chapter will be adding quality education programs to its online catalog. We will strive to bring you the most current professional topics and continue to deliver the time proven topics. We will look to deliver premier speakers through our line education catalog as we deliver the premier speakers in our face to face workshops. Simply, NASW WA Chapter wants to be known as the “cadillac” of social work continuing education.

To look at the online continuing education program of NASW WA Chapter follow this link: NASW-WA Online CE Institute. Click on the various tabs to view the different continuing education workshops from the Catalog, to On-Demand workshops, to Live Webcasts. The Live Webcasts are being delivered in different areas of the country, you will have to pay attention to the specific time zone the workshop is being delivered in to be sure you join the workshop at the beginning.

Starting soon, the NASW WA Chapter will begin to stream some of its face to face workshops live over the Internet. This will enable a social worker who wants to participate in the workshop in real time to participate over the Internet at their home computer.

Welcome to online continuing education, brought to you by NASW WA Chapter, the premier provider on continuing education for social workers.
