EPPP
The first step you take in getting registered is having your credentials reviewed. This means that CAP looks at your undergraduate and graduate courses and degrees to make sure you meet the academic requirements to be a psychologist. What does this mean?
Since people seem to struggle with this step, here are some tips (with no guarantees):
How does this credential review actually work (as of the time this page was written!)?
*As always, we won’t tell you absolutely everything you need to know about each step, so always refer to CAP’s official documents.
Once your academic credentials have been approved, you can begin the search for a supervisor. This can be a daunting undertaking, and many people find this stage overwhelming. Luckily, there are several resources to help in navigating this step.
Contact the PAA office to access a list of qualified supervisors.
Please note that the Supervision List is available for members only.

*If you are enrolled in a doctorate program, supervisor and site selection will be facilitated by your program and is unique to each school. If you’re planning on taking this route, you can consult with your program advisor for more details on this process. Regardless of the path you take, these tips can be useful.
*This route represents the ideal supervisor selection process; but, dependent upon supervisor availability, competition for sites/supervisors and other factors, it may not be viable. Given limited supervisory options, you want to consider what your primary needs are and what you can compromise on.
