2026 Masterclass

Supervision Masterclass: Evaluating Neuropsychology Trainees

A Psychology Board of Australia Approved Masterclass

Thursday, 5th November 2026

Supervisors play a key role in evaluating the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of neuropsychology trainees and registrars. This can be challenging for supervisors who typically receive little or no training in the best methods for evaluating their trainees or how these evaluations can be used to develop student competencies over the course of a placement.

This workshop aims to provide supervisors with knowledge and methods for the effective evaluation of their trainee’s clinical competencies, how to use this information to support trainees in their development, and how to manage instances when development is below expectation. The class will include practical tasks to increase skill and confidence as well as opportunities to discuss and learn with peers.

Focus is given to evaluating neuropsychology students on placements, but the knowledge and skills acquired in this masterclass can equally apply to evaluating registrars and fully registered psychologists, as well as other psychology specialities that focus on assessment skills (e.g., Educational and Developmental Psychologists).
