While a certificate in social work can open doors to entry-level positions, advancing in the field often requires further education. A bachelor's degree in social work (BSW) or a master’s degree in social work (MSW) is typically required for more advanced roles, including licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) positions. These degrees provide in-depth knowledge and specialised training in social work theory, ethics, and practice, and are often required for licensure and advanced career opportunities.
