Since the establishment of the qualification system for Certified Social Workers (CSWs) in Japan over 20 years ago, the number of CSWs has increased rapidly to over 100,000. However, to meet the diversifying welfare needs of the Japanese people, the quality of CSWs must be raised. The Law for the License of Social Workers and Care Workers underwent its first revision in December 2007, and the newly stipulated obligation to improve quality in this law is another indication of rising social demands for better CSWs. In addition, the national association of CSWs has increasing expectations for efforts to raise the quality of its members; thus, I conducted the present investigation based on materials related to the current state of the association's lifelong training system. This investigation revealed that the number of people who have completed the courses making up the core of this lifelong training system account for less than 3% of the association membership; a glaringly poor state of affairs. In addition, the number of presentations given at the academic conference held together with the annual meeting of this association was 28, which is very low compared to that of the academic conferences other associations of the helping professions. The number of journal articles describing the results of practical research is also very low compared with other associations. The lifelong training system started by this association 10 years ago needs to be fundamentally reviewed and modified to develop it into a system in which large numbers of association members can participate. CSWs in every part of Japan study in university master's programs while working, and actively pursue self-study. In the future, I would like to conduct a detailed study of this process as a real-life example of advanced lifelong training, and obtain hints for building a model for self-cultivation through this investigation.
