Continuing Education

Effective March 1, 2017 any CEUs that are approved by ASWB (Association of Social Work Boards) or NASW (National Association of Social Workers) National Office or Nevada Chapter will automatically be approved by the State of Nevada Board of Examiners for Social Workers. You will no longer need to submit an approval for these trainings.

NASW Illinois and NASW North Dakota Education:

On-Demand Virtual Education:

Earn CEUs Through NASW's Social Work Online CE Institute

NASW Nevada is pleased to announce that we recently launched a new online continuing education resource for Nevada social workers, the Social Work Online CE Institute. This convenient method for obtaining your Nevada continuing education units became possible when the Board of Examiners for Social Workers decided to accept all CEU courses approved by the NASW National Office.

Available 24 hours a day, the Social Work Online CE Institute offers courses in a variety of formats—webinars, webcasts, podcasts, presentations, etc. Courses will continue to be added and cover numerous practice areas. The site is sortable and searchable to help you find the training programs that best meet your professional development needs.

All courses offered are NASW accredited, and members receive discounted prices, some courses are even free to members.

In-Person Continuing Education

Due to safety concerns around the pandemic, all in-person education has been shifted to virtual education. See below.

NEVADA CHAPTER CONFERENCE

This year’s NASW-Nevada Chapter virtual conference, Resilience: Flourishing in Crisis, took place on Oct, 23, 2020 in a new all virtual format, we hope you enjoyed this education and we look forward to seeing you in-person someday very soon.

Everyone who registered for this event is an NASW-Nevada member, we thank you for your dedication to your association and invite you all to get involved by serving on a committee or task force or even running for the chapter board. The chapter continues to grow and we are excited about where we are headed: a renewed emphasis on advocacy for the social work profession, dedication to serve all social workers regardless of the region in which they live and expanded efforts to connect us all in meaningful education and networking. This is your NASW-NV.
