EuroPsy (or European Certificate in Psychology) is a professional qualification, which is setting standards of education, training and competence for psychologists.
There is a Basic EuroPsy Certificate that presents a benchmark for independent practice and that can be issued to a psychologist who has demonstrated that they have met these standards.
See Regulations at www.europsy.eu A major goal of the EuroPsy initiative is to protect members of the public from unqualified providers of services and to promote the availability for every citizen and institution in Europe of competent psychologists.
A EuroPsy Certificate is awarded to an applicant on the basis of: (i) demonstrated completion of a recognized academic education programme in psychology, (ii) demonstrated competence in the performance of professional roles during supervised practice, and (iii) underwriting the EFPA Meta-code of ethics (http://ethics.efpa.eu/meta-code/) and the professional code of ethics in the country of practice.
The national code in each country with membership in EFPA entails that sanctions can be imposed when a committee of experts finds that a complaint of professional misconduct brought against a psychologist is justified.
The training should enable the supervisee to develop the competences needed by a psychologist in professional practice.
