Delivery: Online CPD hours: 10.0
This is the final component of the supervisor training program and is delivered online. It assesses the skills required of a supervisor through both audio-visual and written submissions. This component requires an electronic recording of a supervision session, and a written reflection of your demonstration of supervisor competencies (as relevant) in that session.
IMPORTANT
- As trainee supervisors who have not completed all three parts of the supervisor training are ineligible to supervise, the person fulfilling the role of supervisee may be another psychologist or colleague who agrees to act out the supervisee role.
- Prospective participants are advised to register in this component PRIOR to completing the required audio-visual recordings. Detailed instructions on the requirements for submitting audio-visual recordings are available upon registration.
Prerequisites
Participants undertaking this final component of supervisor training, will be required to provide documented evidence of successful completion of Part 2: Skills training (or equivalent), with a Board-approved Provider within, but not exceeding, a period of 6 months since their completion of Part 2 of Supervisor training.
- For participants who have completed the equivalent of Part 2 Supervisor training component with another Board-approved Provider, an electronic certificate of completion must be submitted upon enrolment.
- General registration status and other details will be checked independently against data available on the Register of Practitioners.
- A selective audit of certificates of completion issued by other Providers will be undertaken.
- The APS will notify the PsBA of any discrepancy between information regarding eligibility that has been provided by the enrolee and information contained on the Register of Practitioners.
Assessment tasks
This module (Part 3) consists of two assessment tasks:
- Supervisory performance will be demonstrated in a role-play supervision session submitted online in the form of an audio-visual recording of a supervision session. Maximum recording length must not exceed 45 minutes.
- Self-awareness of the development of supervisor competencies will be assessed through the submission of a written reflection piece (including a self-evaluation) of your supervisor competencies in the recorded and submitted session in task 1, and development of all Board-required competencies throughout your supervisor training. Word limit for the written component is 800-1,000 words.
Assessment outcomes, and any assessor feedback for these two tasks, will be delivered to participants securely online.
Time constraint/duration of access
Participants MUST submit the tasks within six (6) months of completion of the Part 2 Skills training component.
Assessment requirements (audio-visual recordings and written reflection piece) not submitted within that time-frame, will be deemed a fail and that participant will be required to re-enrol and repeat Part 2 Skills training.
Technical requirements
Participants will require an audio-visual recording device in the form of either a smartphone with a camera, webcam, A/V camera with sound recording capability, or equivalent.
Assessment
Participants must successfully complete the online assessment of the audio-visual recording and written reflection piece in order to obtain a pass and receive a Certificate of Completion.
Participants will be systematically assessed on the demonstration of supervisor competencies. A pass or fail grade with feedback will be provided.
Unsuccessful attempt
If a full pass is not achieved in the first attempt, participants are afforded the opportunity to submit supplementary or replacement tasks.
A maximum of three (3) attempts is permitted.
After the third unsuccessful attempt, the participant will be required to re-enrol and repeat Parts 1 and 2 of the program before re-attempting Part 3. The original submission is counted as Attempt 1.
Decision review policy
A participant may apply to request a review of an assessment outcome for this component of the Supervisor Training Program.

Results reporting
As a condition of its status as a Provider of Supervisor training, the APS is required to provide the Psychology Board of Australia the annual summary data including the number of persons who pass or fail, percentage of persons passing or failing as a function of the number of test attempts taken, and summary enrolee evaluations of the program.
