EuroPsy
EuroPsy is a European professional qualification and a standard of education and training that enables individual psychologists to be recognised as having a European-level qualification in psychology. It is based on six-years of education and training in psychology, including a year of supervised practice. EuroPsy was developed in order to set a quality benchmark of education and practice in psychology, and therefore to protect the public, and to improve mobility for psychologists between countries in Europe. EuroPsy is based on EuroPsyT “A framework for education and training of psychologists in Europe” which was accepted by the European Federation of Psychologists' Associations (EFPA) in 2001.
Psychologists reaching the EuroPsy standard are recorded in the Register of European Psychologists, which distinguishes three broad professional contexts (and a fourth category for those who do not fit the others): educational psychology, clinical & health psychology and industrial and organizational psychology.
EuroPsy completed piloting in late 2008 (in Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) and was launched in July 2009 at the EFPA General Assembly in Oslo.
