Enrolees for this course will be provided with instructional text and explanatory materials on each topic, along with reading materials, links to open access registration guidelines and standards and, where applicable, multimedia instructional material to support textual content.
Enrolees for this course will be psychologists who have held general registration for at least eighteen months in accordance with the Psychology Board of Australia’s Supervision FAQ. Enrolees’ general registration status, date of first registration, and area/s of endorsement will be verified independently against data available on the Register of Practitioners.
The APS will notify the Board if there is a discrepancy between information regarding eligibility that has been provided by the enrolee and information contained on the Register of Practitioners.
Assessment and results reporting
Enrolees for the course must successfully complete an on-line assessment in order to pass the course and obtain a Certificate of Completion.
Successful completion of Board-Approved Supervisor Training Part 1: Knowledge assessment is a prerequisite for the next stage of supervisor training, Board-Approved Supervisor Training Part 2: Skills Based Training Workshop.
As a condition of approval to be a supervisor training provider, the APS Institute is required to notify the Psychology Board of Australia of enrolees’ results on Part 1 Knowledge assessment, including: enrolees’ names; registration numbers; and whether the outcome constituted a pass or fail.
The APS Institute is also required to provide the Psychology Board of Australia with annual summary data on: the number of persons who pass or fail; the percentage of persons passing or failing as a function of the number of test attempts taken; and summary enrolee evaluations of the course.
In addition to constituting Part 1 of Board-approved supervisor training, this course constitutes 10 hours of APS CPD.
Access to the course materials will be for 3 (three) months from the initial enrolment date. Enrolees who do not manage to complete the course within three months of registering will be deemed to have failed the course.

Becoming a Board-approved supervisor
In addition to completing the 3 (three) phases of Board-approved supervisor training (Part 1: Knowledge assessment; Part 2: Skills Based Training Workshop; and Part 3: Competency-based assessment and evaluation), there are also minimum eligibility requirements for secondary supervisors of 2 years of holding general registration, for primary supervisors of 3 years of holding general registration, and for supervisors of registrars in an endorsed area of practice of 2 years of holding endorsement in that approved area of practice. Determinations about who may be a Board-approved supervisor rest exclusively with the Psychology Board of Australia. Psychologists wishing to become Board-approved supervisors, upon completion of full training, should make application to that Board using the Board’s application form.
