About the Program
The LMSW exam isn’t impossible, but it can feel overwhelming.
As an international student, I quickly realized that while social work is universal, the system here is different, and no one really prepares you for that.
If I felt that way, imagine how many others must feel the same way.
Studying was hard. Registering took endless calls and emails. Sitting for the exam took courage I didn’t know I had.
That’s why I started Next Step LMSW, to make the journey from “Where do I even begin?” to “I passed!” smoother for everyone.
Because it’s never too early to prepare, and this time, you don’t have to do it alone.

As a first-generation college student, I didn’t have a roadmap for anything grad school threw my way. Finishing college and preparing for a licensing exam felt impossible at times.
There were so many unknowns:
How do I even apply for the exam? How long will the ASWB take to respond? What if I’m not ready? How do I study? How do I face my test anxiety and still pass?
When I looked for prep materials, I noticed a pattern: endless practice exams, but little guidance, support, or encouragement to keep going. And diversity in learning styles or voices? Hardly any.
After passing the exam, I knew something had to change.
That’s why I helped create Next Step LMSW, a space built for students like me, where preparation is personal, support is ongoing, and every future social worker feels seen, equipped, and confident.
