How many CPD hours does a Social Worker need in Denmark?
Social Workers in Denmark follow a CPD-based model rather than a fixed hour total. Social work is NOT a statutorily regulated or authorised profession in Denmark. There is no state licence or authorisation ('socialrådgiver' is a professional-bachelor education, not a protected/authorised health title under Styrelsen for Patientsikkerhed), and therefore no legally mandated continuing-professional-development hours or renewal cycle. Any CPD is employer- or union-driven (Dansk Socialrådgiverforening) and voluntary. No statutory CPD mandate exists.
Are there required CE topics for Social Worker in Denmark?
Denmark does not mandate specific CE subjects for Social Worker beyond the general requirement — any board-approved continuing education generally counts. Always confirm with the regulator.
Can Social Worker CE be completed online in Denmark?
Generally yes — Denmark does not require live or interactive hours for Social Worker, so approved online / home-study CE can typically satisfy the requirement. Home-study note: N/A - profession not regulated; no statutory CPD requirement.
What else should Social Worker renewals know in Denmark?
No public authorisation register and no protected title requiring licensure; the profession is defined by the professional-bachelor education. CPD is voluntary/employer-driven.
