Do I still need to obtain 40 continuing education credit hours if I am a newly licensed social worker?
Yes. All licensed social workers must have obtained the required continuing education credit hours before they can renew their license. A newly licensed social worker can earn credit hours from the date the license was issued until the expiration date. A social worker renewing a license for a second time, or more, must obtain the credit hours from November 1st to October 31st two years later.
