Hey, thanks so much! :) I think this is a really good question, and something to to carefully consider if you have a large audience - if you're based in Aus, I'd start by looking into the APS code of ethics (or your country's equivalent)

Hey. So I’m pretty sure she first did a professional psych masters after her honours, so she got her general registration then started practicing as a psych. And now, after working for a while, she realised she wanted to endorse in clinical psych, hence the application process again. Someone correct me if I’m wrong!!

@@analuca2643 That makes sense. I've heard about the Master of Professional psych. Thanks for clarifying :)

Thanks so much! I get asked this a lot and will address fully in an upcoming video but essentially I did the 4+2 internship pathway (no longer available), and then decided to pursue clinical endorsement :)

@@kathleenanne Thank you so much, that will be great as it will help us see what to expect :)

Yeah im confused abt that as well 😭 I thought she already went through all that pain

Thanks so much! :)

Thanks so much!! And good question - I get asked this a lot and will address fully in an upcoming video. Essentially in Aus there used to be a pathway called the 4+2 internship (4 years study - 2 years intern), which is what I did to gain general registration. This pathway has now been replaced with the 5+1. I've decided to pursue clinical endorsement, hence why I'm going back to study :)

Thanks so much Phil! :)

Thank you :)

Thanks so much :)

Thanks so much and for the idea!! Agreed - it's definitely a confusing process!

Thanks so much! :)

Thank you! :)

In Australia you'll need to apply for a bachelor of science and major in psychology units :)

Thanks for the kind words!

@kathleenanne You're welcome. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! I did the 4+2 pathway in Aus, which allowed me to gain registration via an internship :)

Hey Jake, so glad the series has been helpful. My deadline for releasing the planner needed to be pushed back but hoping to release in March 2025 🙂

Thank you so much!! 😊

I hear that! But definitely worth checking out if you’re in London 🙂

Thanks so much!!! 🫶🫶

Thank you!!! 💕

Absolutely, it’s such great program! 😊

Thanks heaps!! 😊

You’ll get there!!

It sure is haha, congrats for getting registered!

Yes, I’ll be releasing this in a couple of months 😊

Hey, thanks for reaching out - unis in Aus are very strict with their requirements, so you would likely need to catch up with a diploma or advanced diploma in psychology. I’d recommend talking to Aphra 😊

Thank you, glad they help! I did the 4+2 internship in Aus (this pathway has now been replaced by the 5+1) 🙂

So glad it helps!! 😊

You could work as a provisional psychologist while doing your master's. Just keep in mind if you are studying full time you might not have much time leftover to work

You can work while you do masters but not as a psychologist. You need to complete a masters in professional psychology (1 yr) and then complete at least an internship (1 year) these two combined being known as the 5+1 pathway OR you can do 2 yr clinical masters) - one of these is required to work as a psychologist

I did the 4+2 pathway to get my general registration - now replaced with the 5+1 🙂

Glad the videos are helpful! For general registration in Aus, one would need to do a one year professional masters (5+1 pathway) and the NPE. If you want to complete general registration and an endorsement (Australia has clinical, forensic, organisational and a few others), you would need to complete a 2 year masters. They are doable to for international students - hope this helps :)

Firstly, congratulations on the offer, that’s a big accomplishment! It’s a really tough and ultimately a personal choice - but there’s no such thing as a wrong decision. Take some time to weigh the pros and cons. Keep in mind that there are now several one year clinical endorsement masters programs if you stick with the MPP. There’s also unis you can apply to mid year or get some more experience under your belt and reapply for MCP next year and see what happens. You’re making the best choice with the information you have right now and that’s the hardest part. But once you make a decision, things will fall into place. Hope this helps!

@ thanks Kathleen! I have chosen to accept the MPP after lots of deliberation, and even if I want to pursue MCP I can later, if not all is well as I will be on the road to be qualified to do what I want to do anyway ☺️
