Purpose: There has been increasing interest in the academy to assist social work graduates to become licensed which is likely to grow as the Council of Social Work Education (CSWE) cites licensure pass rates as a post-graduation outcome required for accreditation by newly adopted standards. This study determines the ability of academics to reliably link Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities statements that are the bases of licensure tests with the CSWE competencies in the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS). Method: Four full-time faculty members at two institutions conducted an interrater reliability analysis on practice tests to determine the extent to which licensure questions could be consistently linked to EPAS competencies. Results: Study findings indicate weak reliability between social work licensure examination questions and CSWE EPAS competencies. Discussion: Lack of consistency threatens the path to licensure and may explain why graduates of accredited programs lack the requisite knowledge to become licensed.

目的：随着社会工作教育委员会 (CSWE) 将执照通过率作为新采用标准认证所需的毕业后结果，该学院越来越有兴趣帮助社会工作毕业生获得执照。 . 这项研究确定了学者将作为执照测试基础的知识、技能和能力陈述与教育政策和认证标准 (EPAS) 中的 CSWE 能力可靠联系起来的能力。方法：两个机构的四名全职教员对实践测试进行了评估者间可靠性分析，以确定执照问题与 EPAS 能力的一致性程度。结果：研究结果表明社会工作执照考试题与 CSWE EPAS 能力之间的可靠性较弱。讨论：缺乏一致性会威胁到获得许可的途径，并且可以解释为什么认证课程的毕业生缺乏获得许可所需的知识。
