To help you in your pursuit of obtaining a license in Clinical Social Work, here is an excerpt from the BBS website on the path that needs to be followed:

“The LCSW Licensing Process in a Nutshell”

We need to gather an understanding of the “big picture” of the LCSW licensing process before we discuss the more detailed aspects of this process. Any person pursuing a clinical social worker license in California will follow a similar path:

1. Get your MSW from an accredited college or university
2. Register with the BBS as an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW)
3. Gain your supervised post-masters work experience
4. Complete any required additional coursework
5. Apply for LCSW Examination Eligibility
6. Pass the LCSW Standard Written Examination
7. Pass the LCSW Written Clinical Vignette Examination
8. Get your official clinical social worker license

Different individuals might take a slightly unique path towards licensure depending on whether or not they move out of state or take a few years off. However, the vast majority of future LCSWs will follow a path much like the one described in 1-8 above.”
