This training will provide the information you need to begin working on the tasks required to fulfil competency for a cognitive assessment.
Attendance at the training will not in itself meet the internship competency requirements, which need to be assessed and signed off by the principal or secondary supervisor.
The group provides a demonstration of test administration and guidelines in completing an assessment with real or simulated clients. Participants are then encouraged to access the test materials to practice and gain competence in the administration and scoring of the WAIS-IV.
As per AHPRA guidelines: Each test must be administered, scored and interpreted as many times as necessary to achieve competence. Each test must then be competently demonstrated at least twice to a supervisor during direct observation of practice with real clients, or (where appropriate) in realistic simulated learning environments.
