Trainees often have to travel considerable distances to placements. Applications for posts are through the clinical psychology clearing house in Leeds. Competition for positions is fierce and requires candidates to demonstrate statistical knowledge and research skills as well as clinical competencies. Many successful candidates have higher degrees (MSc, Phd, MPhil) and/or a number of years experience but the minimum requirement is a good 2.i in Psychology and some relevant employment experience
