What qualifications in Sport and Exercise Psychology does the Society offer?

The Stage 2 Qualification in Sports and Exercise Psychology provides an award whereby independent trainees can demonstrate their competence as Sport and Exercise Psychologists and thereby become eligible to be entered on the Register of Chartered Psychologists of the British Psychological Society. It also conveys eligibility for full membership of the Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology. The Stage 2 Qualification is not a course of study; it is a competency based framework of evidence requirements and assessments around which trainees create their own training programme.
