As currently drafted, Section 4 of the compact requires licensees pass a Qualifying National Exam. Currently the only national licensing examination is produced and administered by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB). To be eligible to use the compact, social workers must have passed the ASWB exam corresponding to the category of license sought. Social workers who have already passed the ASWB exam corresponding to the category of license sought will not be required to take an additional licensing exam. Using the broad term, Qualifying National Exam, will provide the compact commission flexibility should social work licensing examination practices change in the future.
