Reciprocity exists with many countries which means that many psychologists do not have to sit an exam. Qualifications and supervised internships of 1,500 hours or more must have been accredited by a suitable organisation. Being currently licensed or registered as a psychologist in your current country of residence plus providing evidence of continuing professional education are required for registration. For overseas psychologists who come from a country where English is not your native language, you may be to take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) to provide that you meet the New Zealand Psychologists’ English language requirements. In some instances, even if your qualifications were done in English Align Recruitment may require an IELTS with results that meet or exceed the Board’s requirements. We are happy to answer all questions regarding their chances of receiving their New Zealand psychologist registration with clinical scope.
