Earlier today, Cognition & Co presented at their first conference – The 6th Southern African Students’ Psychology Conference.
Dylan Benyon (founder of Cognition & Co) along with Muhammed Cassim (PsySSA Student Division) presented a workshop called “My Place in Psychology – A New Dawn.”
In order to prepare for the conference, Cognition & Co wanted to create an infographic flow chart that outlined the route to becoming a registered psychology professional in South Africa. We thought it only fair to share that document with the students of South Africa;
In order to keep the design simple but informative, there are some aspects that have been left out. For example, both a Registered Counsellor and a Psychometrist can study an M Degree.
If there is anything we have missed or should be made aware of, please send us a message here.
Please inform me of universities that are accredited to present a Bspych equivalent. It is shocking how we are cheated into programmes which are not recognized.
Another great concern: SA is in a dying need for psychologists and counsellors but we are gate kept by having to choose quiting our fulltime jobs and doing Masters or Bspych full time.
I am of opinion that people with work experience can bring so much more to the field and still serve their current workplaces .
When will this be considered?
