AGIP

Entry requirement and admission process

Prerequisites for training

Applicants are normally expected to have:

• experience of psychoanalytic psychotherapy or analytical psychology for a minimum of one year prior to starting the training.
• a formal qualification such as a degree or equivalent professional qualification (e.g. CQSW, RMN, BACP accredited counselling qualification).
• some experience within a relevant field such as education, health, welfare or community service.
• personal and professional qualities that make for a reliable psychotherapist.

An ability to cope with the academic content of the course is essential as the AGIP training is conducted at a postgraduate level.

AGIP operates an policy of Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) and where there has been appropriate prior learning, such as psychoanalytic studies, application can be made for admission directly to Year 2 of the training.

Selection Process

Trainees will be selected on the basis of a written application (including a personal statement), two personal or professional references and two individual interviews.

Applicants should note that they will be required to undergo a police clearance through a CRB check immediately prior to the course. AGIP admin will assist each trainee in completing this once a place has been offered and accepted.
