Becoming a full Divisional member of the new Division of Coaching Psychology
Find out more about the peer review route
Peer review route
The Peer review route is open to existing Chartered members who were on the Register of Coaching Psychologists on the 1st November 2021 (or who were eligible for inclusion in the register on that date).
Applicants must be undergoing supervision of their coaching psychology practice appropriate to their work, and must hold current professional indemnity insurance (or be covered by an employer’s provision).
Applicants meeting these criteria have the opportunity to apply for transfer to full Divisional membership of the new Division.
Candidates will submit a transfer form including three 500-word statements about aspects of their practice and research along with a CV, CPD record, selected supporting evidence, and evidence of meeting the eligibility criteria.
Eligible applicants will engage in a peer review of colleagues’ submissions in determining their suitability for transfer.
These conversations will take place with reference to the Level 8 Standards in Coaching Psychology.
Successful applicants will be eligible for full Divisional membership of the Division of Coaching Psychology and will be upgraded to full Divisional member status free of charge for the remainder of their subscription year.
This route will be open until 31 December 2023.
Please note: you must complete the peer review process to remain on the Register of Coaching Psychologists, to demonstrate your alignment with the level 8 standards.
