I can only speak for the U.S., and even there laws and regulations very state by state.

I have never heard of an associates degree in social work. Years ago, there were no specific education requirements to be a social worker. Nowadays, a "social worker" is an esteemed position. In most cases, even a bachelor's degree in social work is not sufficient to obtain a position as a social worker. An M.S.W. is the standard degree for a social worker. So, measuring from the end of high school, it generally takes five or six years to get an M.S.W. and become a social worker.
