After an application is approved by the Board the applicant has twelve months from the date of application to test to become a licensed social worker. During this timeframe the approved candidate is granted a onetime provisional status where they are eligible to practice social work and otherwise exercise the rights and privileges granted to a likened social worker. After the expiration of twelve months from the date of the original application and if the applicant has not become licensed, the provisional license status is no longer active. At that time an applicant must submit a new application and the necessary fees to be eligible for re-examination. During this time, the applicant shall not practice social work or otherwise exercise the rights and privileges granted to a licensed social worker.
