The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) will begin a pilot program to offer the option of online proctored exams for select candidates. The pilot will launch on Monday, March 23, 2026. 

During the trial period, candidates who meet at least one of the following criteria will be offered the opportunity to take their social work licensing exam using Pearson VUE’s online platform, OnVUE:  

• Live 100 miles or more from the nearest Pearson VUE test center 
• Have approval for online proctoring as a nonstandard testing arrangement before registering for the exam 

Individuals meeting one or both of these requirements must also meet technical and environmental requirements that help safeguard examination security. Individuals who have questions about the online proctoring pilot should contact ASWB Director of Examination Administration Felicia Dennison at fdennison@aswb.org.

More information about the online proctoring pilot is available on the ASWB website at https://www.aswb.org/online-proctoring-pilot/
