[Certified Social Worker National Exam] A Must-Read for Managers! To You Who Are Hesitating to Take the Exam
Hello‼️
I'm Sakura, a Certified Social Worker with 20 years of experience working in welfare facilities🌸
The application period for the Certified Social Worker National Exam has begun.
You have the "eligibility to take the exam," but you are "hesitating to take it."
This is common, especially among "busy managers."
✅ You went through the trouble of obtaining the eligibility to take the exam, but you took it in the past and failed. You no longer feel like you can pass.
✅ You have the eligibility because you graduated from a welfare vocational school or university, but for one reason or another, you keep putting off "taking the exam."
✅ You don't have time to study.
✅ You have given up from the start due to the vast scope of the exam, which covers 19 subjects.
Most of you likely fall into one of the categories above.
I myself, several years ago, chose "not to take the exam" for many years, despite having the eligibility.
・I have no time.
・I don't feel like I can pass.
・Even if I pass, it doesn't directly relate to my work, so I can't find the meaning in it.
・If I'm going to use that much wasted effort, I'd rather do something else.
Thinking that way, I didn't take the exam.
However, every year, as the "exam application" period approached, the existence of the "Certified Social Worker National Exam" would cross my mind.
I always think:
"I'll think about it again next year."
But, I can state this clearly.
As long as you keep saying "next year" or "someday," that day will never come!
If the existence of the "Certified Social Worker National Exam" does not cross your mind, there is no need to read this article.
If you don't seriously want it, it's not a qualification I would force you to recommend,
and honestly, it is a mystery to me why it has such a high level of difficulty for a title-protected qualification rather than a practice-exclusive one, but there is definitely a "value to the qualification" that you understand once you actually obtain it.

However...
First of all, the conversation doesn't even start until you decide to "take the exam"!
Properly completing the "exam application" is the first step on the path to passing the Certified Social Worker National Exam.
If you are currently even slightly worried about whether you should take the exam, that "worry" will likely never disappear and will resurface every September.
Will you continue to worry forever?
Or will you bite the bullet at some point and decide to "take the exam" first?
You can think about study methods or whether you can actually find the time after you have decided to "take the exam."
The standard study period for the Certified Social Worker National Exam is considered to be 6 to 7 months, but that is just a "guideline."
Since everyone's background is different, some people study for a year, while others pass with a study period of 2 to 3 months.
There are even people who have passed with only about a month of study.
The Certified Social Worker exam is not just for welfare facility staff.
There are many people, such as administrative scriveners and tax accountants, who take the exam to add "prestige" to their business cards.
Since "professional practitioners" and "welfare facility staff" are in completely different fields, it is natural that the study period differs depending on the occupation.
Rather than being swept away or confused by the abundance of information, if you hold firm to "yourself" and study with the right methods, this is a qualification that you can definitely "pass."
Even if you are hesitating to "take the exam" right now, once you decide to "take the exam," the subsequent goal is simple.
You just need to "pass."
Because people think about this simple thing in such a complicated way, they continue to worry every year and end up choosing not to take the exam.
It is not something abstract; it is a very clear and easy-to-understand goal.
"Pass" or "Fail."
Out of these two choices, you just need to "pass."
Let's think about things simply.
Furthermore, the Certified Social Worker National Exam consists entirely of multiple-choice questions. It is not an essay exam.
Occasionally, even in the exam reports, strange questions appear where the answers are debated, but as long as you grasp the tricks of the exam and efficiently cover the key points, it is just a test where you have to choose the correct answer from five options.
It is not an exam you can pass by pure luck without studying at all, but it is not an Everest-level super-difficult exam either.
You just need to work hard and study for a few months
That is all there is to it.
I am not saying you have to study for the rest of your life.
It is "just a few months." This, too, is truly simple.
For me, that "just a few months" was"four months". I started by deciding that I would "give it my all for just four months."
In fact,I passed after four months of studying.
The start of that was, after all,"deciding to take the exam.".
"There is no point in having a Certified Social Worker license"
I actually hear these words often.
And I have even had them said to my face.
Because it is not an exclusive license?
Because it is just a title-protected license??
But the only people who can say that arethose who have actually passed the Certified Social Worker National Exam and registered.
Do not be swayed by the nonsense of people who have not even passed the exam and are speaking only from "hypotheses."
If the day comes when you actually pass and call yourself a "Certified Social Worker," and someone asks you, "What's the point of having a qualification like that?"
I would flatly reply, "Why don't you find out the meaning for yourself after you've earned the qualification?"
Usually, the other person will go silent.
In fact, I work as a staff member at a welfare facility, and there are so many things I have gained and seen because I obtained my Certified Social Worker qualification.
There is definitely a "world I would not have seen" if I hadn't become a Certified Social Worker.
In my position as a "manager" and "Service Management Responsibility Person," I have never once thought that I shouldn't have obtained my Certified Social Worker qualification.
・You just need to pass
・You just need to work hard for a few months
I hope that thinking about it simply in this way will help give you the push you need if you are worried about whether to take the Certified Social Worker national exam.♥️
