Sponsored Training
The DAS places great emphasis on providing professional service. To help Trainee Specialist Psychologists develop essential skills in evaluating and assessing students to determine their learning profile, they will undergo five weeks of intensive training. Once they start conducting assessments, they will be provided with continued supervision and support by Registered Psychologists followed by further training culminating in an award at a specialist diploma level (Specialist Diploma in Psychological Assessment for Dyslexia).
4-Year Bond Period
In view of the investment in our Trainee Specialist Psychologist, they are required to sign a four-year bond which includes a substantial period of training and supervision.
