This group has been designed for provisional psychologists completing the 4+2 pathway to registration and will provide the information and access to materials so you can begin working on the tasks required to fulfil competency for a cognitive assessment. Please note that attendance at the group will not in itself meet the 4+2 competency requirements, which need to be assessed and signed off by the principal or secondary supervisor. We are happy to assess competence (by arrangement) through secondary supervision, for a fee of $170 per hour.

The group provides a demonstration of test administration and guidelines in completing an assessment with real or simulated clients. Participants are then encouraged to access the test materials to practice and gain competence in the administration, scoring of the WISC-V.

As per APHPA guidelines: Each test must be administered, scored and interpreted as many times as necessary to achieve competence. Each test must then be competently demonstrated at least twice to a supervisor during direct observation of practice with real clients, or (where appropriate) in realistic simulated learning environments.
