To work as an EP, you’ll need to have a Doctorate in Educational Psychology. This is a 3-year, full-time course. EPs who were trained before this qualification was introduced may have an MSc in Educational Psychology instead.

Aspiring EP events
Our Aspiring EP events run twice a year and provide information and support for those interested in the profession and considering applying for the doctorate.
These free events are held online, with the autumn dates taking place before the application deadline and the spring events being held pre-interview. Both Aspiring EP sessions are there to support you and provide insight into the role throughout both stages of the application process.
The sessions will answer questions such as
- What’s it like to be an EP?
- How can I become an EP?
- How do I apply for EP training?
- What can I expect on the training course?
