Temporary Permit
License Description
Temporary Permit Overview: The Permit License is a valid license to perform social work in West Virginia while preparing to sit for the appropriate level ASWB exam. The Provisional Permit License holder must attempt the exam under the permit issued to them; it is provisional pending passage of examination. Upon passage of examination, he/she will be eligible for a Regular License. This is a temporary license for applicants who have never taken the state social work exam and hold a Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) accredited degree in social work (BSW or MSW) - OR - are enrolled in their final semester prior to graduation leading to their degree in social work. An accredited social work program is one that is either accredited by the CSWE, or, in candidacy status with CSWE at the time of graduation. Why is the license "temporary"?
