The Comprehensive
Psychological Assessment Centre (CPAC) offers limited places for
students aiming to undertake supervised
psychology work towards their registration, or as part
of their post graduate course work requirement.
Our expectations from prospective students are high,
but in return we offer supportive and individually focused supervision, comfortable working environment
and exposure to all aspects of professional
assessments.

OUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PROSPECTIVE
STUDENTS
At CPAC we strive for excellence and we
value hard work. This means providing the highest quality
assessments and reporting services for our clients.
If you are thinking about a possible
placement opportunity with us, please read our requirements
first. To apply for a position with us, we expect the
following:
- Exceptional work ethics. We
understand that students have multiple responsibilities, but
you will be required to
complete at least two
assessments per week, including two detailed reports.
- Working knowledge of statistics. We don't expect you
to be a statistician, but we expect you to know the
basics
of
statistical methods and be able to apply
this knowledge to interpret (or to learn how to interpret)
test results.
- Good writing skills. You will be
expected to write approximately 4000 words high quality
reports per week. At
times the reports may require more. If you don't think that you can fit this into a 20 hrs/week schedule
(including 6 hours assessment time and possible reading/research time), you should not apply.
- Willingness to learn. The
initial learning curve with CPAC is usually quite steep. It
can feel overwhelming to learn
all the new
information and an eager and open attitude is helpful. Of
course, we are here to support you and help
you
learn and we will try our
best to give you a valuable placement
experience. |
