Accreditation is important to ensure that psychology programs conducted by a university or school provide students with quality education. In the USA, students need to make sure that the university they are applying to is an American Psychological Association (APA)-accredited university. The British Psychological Society (BPS) is the UK’s representative body for psychology and psychologists and has been responsible for the accreditation of psychology education and training programs since the early 1970s. While Canadian Psychological Association (CPA), is involved in the accreditation of psychology programs in Canada.
