The training is specifically designed to meet supervisor training competencies outlined by the Psychology Registration Board. However, enrolment is also open to non-psychology supervisors (e.g., counsellors, social workers, nurses) keen to upgrade their knowledge and skills. The completion certificates provided are likely to help you gain continuing professional development (PD/CPD) credits. However, you should confirm eligibility for PD credits with the relevant professional body. You may also contact admin (admin@c-(best.com.au) for further information.

The one-day master class workshops are designed to renew a currently valid Board-approved supervisor approval for a prospective five-year term. The two-day skills-training workshops (along with additional assessments) enable new and non-approved supervisors obtain Board approval to supervise.

You will need to log in using the username and password that you created when you registered for the masterclass. Click on ‘Dashboard’ and the ‘Transaction History’ where you will be able to download a receipt for each purchase you have made.

Free resources are available to all supervisors who visit the site. Other resources are emailed to you once you register and pay for your training

Because the vast majority of supervisors provide intervention-based services, our training is customised for clinical, counselling, health and educational settings. The content is not tailored for specialist organisational, neuro or forensic psychologists. Supervisors from these practice areas will find part (but not all) of the content and activities relevant to their supervisory practice.
