EuroPsy: The European Standard for Psychology Education and Competence

EuroPsy, the European Standard in Psychology set by the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations AISBL (EFPA), aims to set a common standard of competence in all the European countries where it is acknowledged.

The EuroPsy Certificate and Specialist EuroPsy Certificate can be awarded to individual psychologists who meet the conditions specified in the Regulations.

EuroPsy aims to promote the mobility of psychologists and the access of clients to psychological services of high quality across Europe. It presents a benchmark or a set of European standards for Psychology that serve as the basis for evaluating the academic education and professional training of psychologists across the different countries of the EU, and other countries of which the psychology associations are Full Members of EFPA.

EuroPsy provides the standard required for independent practice. Specialist EuroPsy provides the standard for a specialised or advanced level of competence and expertise in particular fields of practice.

The EuroPsy standards are detailed in the EuroPsy Regulations, that also outline the criteria and mechanisms for their implementation and for the award of both the EuroPsy Certificate and Specialist EuroPsy Certificates through National EuroPsy Committees.
