The Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers is implementing entry-to-practice exams as part of its registration requirements. Entry-to-practice exams are one way to help measure an applicant’s readiness to practise and support public protection. They complement, but do not replace, educational requirements. More information about the implementation of entry-to-practice exams as a registration requirement can be found on our website.
As we move forward with the implementation plan, we are seeking feedback on the Entry-to-Practice Exams Policy. We want to ensure that the implementation of this registration requirement is informed by the perspective of all interested parties, who bring different lenses and lived experiences. We hope that you will participate in the survey. For those who are educators, we would appreciate you sharing the survey with your students. For others, please feel free to share the survey with your communities.
The survey will take approximately ten minutes to complete. Survey responses will be kept confidential and will be handled in a secure manner to protect confidentiality and privacy.
DRAFT ENTRY-TO-PRACTICE EXAMS POLICY FEEDBACK SURVEY
The survey will be available until October 27, 2026.
We sincerely appreciate your time, commitment and interest.
