How many CE hours does a Registered Social Worker need in Saskatchewan?
A Registered Social Worker must complete 40 CE / continuing-education hours every 1 years in Saskatchewan.
Are there required CE topics for Registered Social Worker in Saskatchewan?
Saskatchewan does not mandate specific CE subjects for Registered Social Worker beyond the general requirement — any board-approved continuing education generally counts. Always confirm with the regulator.
Can Registered Social Worker CE be completed online in Saskatchewan?
Generally yes — Saskatchewan does not require live or interactive hours for Registered Social Worker, so approved online / home-study CE can typically satisfy the requirement. Home-study note: No fixed cap on self-directed (Category C) learning, but activities must span at least two of the three reporting categories, so an all-self-study year is not permitted..
What else should Registered Social Worker renewals know in Saskatchewan?
SASW Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Policy (revised Sept 2024): licensed/practising members must complete 40 hours of CPE per year, reported at annual online renewal. Hours must be recorded in at least two of three categories: Category A formal learning (seminars/workshops/conferences/interactive online training, seminar minimum 1 hour); Category B contributions (supervising social work practicum students max 20 hrs, mentoring, research/writing, SASW committee work max 20 hrs/yr); Category C self-directed learning (reading, cultural practice engagement, educating others). Only actual engagement time counts (no travel or meal time). No banking/carry-forward of hours beyond 40 in a year. No mandated subject topics or specific ethics-hour requirement, though practice is framed around reflective learning goals; SASW offers Indigenous-learning resources but does not mandate hours. Regulated under The Social Workers Act.
