NASW-TN CONTINUING EDUCATION APPROVAL PROGRAM

Would you like an opportunity to market your upcoming workshops and training to over 1,800 social workers throughout Tennessee?


All licensed and certified social workers in the state of Tennessee must verify with the Tennessee Board of Social Work Licensure that they have completed hours of continuing education training each calendar year. NASW TN Chapter offers organizations the opportunity to have the professional organization for social workers verify their training event meets the standards set by the Tennessee Board of Social Work Certification and Licensure

The National Association of Social Workers – Tennessee Chapter (NASW-TN) views continuing education as an essential activity for ensuring quality social work services for clients.


In this spirit, NASW-TN has developed a Continuing Education Approval Program to assist social workers in locating quality continuing education that is relevant to their professional practice. The goal of this program is to establish a professional standard of excellence in organizations offering continuing education opportunities to social workers. NASW-TN is currently offering Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for workshops, seminars, conferences, and lectures meeting the criteria outlined in the Rules of the Tennessee Board of Social Work Certification and Licensure and NASW Standards for Continuing Professional Education.


Approval by NASW-TN is a way to increase your marketability as a quality continuing education provider. Such approval will be valuable in attracting social workers desiring state credentialing renewal and professional development.
