The Roadmap to Getting Licensed

The path from graduation to full licensure isn't always clearly mapped out — and every state board explains it a little differently, which makes it easy to feel lost.

Inside, you'll find:

• Macro vs. clinical social work, explained clearly

• A real breakdown of field placement, year by year

• The true cost of getting licensed (LMSW and LGPC compared)

• A full hours breakdown — client contact, supervision, and timeline

• A Clinical Hours Tracker and a CEU Tracker

• An ASWB Exam Study Cheat Sheet with real strategies and memory tools

• Step-by-step checklists for both your LMSW and LCSW-C

Whether you're just starting your MSW program or counting down your supervised hours, this is the guide that keeps you moving forward with an actual plan.
