Psychologists wanting to become a Board-approved supervisor will need to complete Board-approved competency-based supervisor training (full training), consisting of three components that need to be completed in sequence:
Psychologists wishing to maintain their supervisor approval are required to refresh their training every five years by completing at least one Board-approved master class. A master class is a competency-based training workshop requiring at least six hours of direct/live training.
Psychologists who have had a break from supervision or from practice more generally, or feel they need to refresh their knowledge and skills across the supervisor competencies, are encouraged to complete full training (at least Part 2) instead of a master class.
For more information on these requirements, please review:
There are 15 training providers approved to deliver supervisor training until 31 December 2023. Their contact details are listed in the table below.
You can find information on the curriculum of supervisor training program and scheduling of full training Part 2 and master class workshops by contacting Board-approved supervisor training providers directly.
