NASW-Washington State Chapter is pleased to offer a deeper dive into the three elements that contribute strongly to preparing individuals to pass the ASWB exam. Please note that this course is exclusively for individuals who have already participated in The Licensure Examination Preparation Course.

NASW-Washington State Chapter has offered the popular prep course to social workers seeking to become licensed at the advanced or clinical levels. The Licensure Examination Preparation Course does a fantastic job of introducing and teaching the element to success: Anxiety Management, Focused Content Review and Avoiding mistakes when answering questions. Many participants have asked for more. This workshop is not eligible for CE Contact hours. 

The consistent feedback from participants and facilitators reveals a more focused time to practice the strategies taught in the course would be beneficial.

This course is for individuals that have already participated in The Licensure Examination Preparation Course.  During the three hours together, you will review the self-assessment and anatomy of a question for clarity and spend much of the time deconstructing questions and building that muscle memory for using the strategies during the exam.

Be prepared to discuss barriers and success in your study process, what you realized when you were honest with your self assessment, and questions that have come up since you took the prep course and began preparing for the exam.  

We will work together to help build the tools you need to be successful.
