Program Fees

Please note, If you are submitting more than 1 program, you will need to return to the application page and submit each additional program separately (we only allow 1 program per submission page).

Should your program be denied endorsement or approval by the Peer Review Committee, a $35 processing fee will be taken from your application fee and the remainder of your application fee will be refunded. The Peer Review Committee may decide to offer suggestions for a more robust application and the applicant may re-apply. Implementation of these suggestions does not guarantee future endorsement or approval.

Program Review Timeline:
Please allow up to 10 weeks for program review and processing. The Peer Review Committee is not able to review applications of events in less than 20 business days from the date submitted.

The NC Social Work Certification and Licensure Board always has the final say as to whether continuing education courses qualify for licensure renewal. The NASW-NC CE Endorsement Program simply identifies providers capable of delivering high-quality, appropriate continuing education for Social Workers.  Our endorsement is not a guarantee that your program will be accepted by the Licensure Board in the case of an audit of an individual Social Worker.

We look forward to helping you provide a continuing education program that best meets the needs of discerning social workers. If you have any questions, please email education.naswnc@socialworkers.org.
