Limited License
BSWs and MSWs who have not completed the 4,000 hours of required work experience or have not taken the exam should apply for the Limited Licensed Bachelor Social Worker or Limited Licensed Master Social Worker credentials. These limited licenses will allow you to perform the duties of LBSWs and LMSWs under supervision until you qualify for full licensure. Please note that you must have your limited license in order the hours you accrue to count toward full licensure.

Questions regarding your professional license may be directed to the Department of Community Health, Bureau of Health Professions (517) 335-0918 www.michigan.gov/healthlicense

The Michigan Board of Social Work is in the process of developing rules to delineate what courses or activities would be considered acceptable for continuing education. The law does specify a total of forty-five (45) clock hours, which would mean the equivalent of forty five (45) 60 minute blocks of time.
