A social worker must have a license to practice "social work." To obtain a license, you must first get a Bachelors (BA) degree in something (usually psychology or social work or something related. Then you must get into a master's degree program (MA). After your MA, you will still have about 1500 hours to do internship before you can be licensed.

A BA usually takes people 4 to 5 years if going fulltime.

An MA generally takes 2 to 3 years if going fulltime.

And if you do only your internship hours without working after the masters degree, you will probably get all of them done after 2 more years.

So total at minimum 7-8 years.
