A training program or academic institution with APA accreditation stands out to many as meeting the highest caliber standards for an education in psychology. But achieving and maintaining accreditations like this can be complex. This article will take a look at what APA accreditation is, why it matters, key considerations for meeting and maintaining the standard, and how Tevera can help to streamline and simplify the process.

APA Accreditation and Why It Matters

While they’re not commercial organizations, colleges and universities still exist in a highly competitive environment where they must continue to attract students, qualified faculty, positive awareness and perception, donations, and other funding. Accreditation is a key part of remaining competitive. Because they ensure the highest quality educational standards across various fields, they lend recognition and legitimacy to institutions and help to attract top students and faculty.

One major example is APA accreditation, overseen by the American Psychological Association (APA.) It specifically focuses on ensuring that education, professional development, and training programs meet established standards in the field of psychology. APA accreditation directly benefits students’ educational experience by guaranteeing a relevant, quality psychology curriculum. It can also enhance the value of their degree, opening up career opportunities and advancement in the industry.

Key Considerations for Meeting and Maintaining APA Accreditation Standards

To meet and maintain APA accreditation, schools must commit to meeting the APA’s standards and guidelines for their psychology program on a constant basis. As a first step, institutions should make sure they’re familiar with the existing APA standards and then stay on top of any changes or updates, which take place regularly. Below are examples of other critical areas to consider for ongoing compliance:

  • Review the Program End-to-End

A key initial (and rolling) part of APA accreditation compliance is conducting a thorough self-study of your entire psychology program. You’ll need to assess all aspects, including strengths and weaknesses, of the program from the curriculum and faculty qualifications to student services and program funding.

  • Collect and Maintain Data

You’ll want to be able to demonstrate compliance at any given time. So, be sure to gather, store, and maintain all program documentation. This includes things like faculty qualifications, student demographics, faculty qualifications, program evaluations, and assessment measurements.

  • Show Continuous Improvement

Be sure you can show that you are regularly assessing your psychology program’s effectiveness and making changes based on those assessments. This shows a necessary dedication to continuous improvement for the program.

  • Assessment of Student Learning

Are your students achieving the psychology program’s educational objectives? To be able to present this information to the APA, you’ll want to put a system in place to consistently evaluate and assess students’ learning outcomes.

  • Regular Reporting to APA

The APA requires proof of certain information such as the psychology program’s structure and curriculum, faculty qualifications, student admissions criteria, and practicum and internship training details. Make sure you can access and submit this information in a timely manner.
