Q: How can I secure a Forensic Psychologist in Training post?
A: While Forensic Psychologist in Training (FPiT) posts are competitive, many psychology graduates successfully secure these roles with the right preparation and mindset. Gaining relevant experience in forensic or mental health settings, developing strong research and assessment skills, and tailoring applications effectively all increase your chances. Many successful candidates have worked as Assistant Psychologists or in related roles before progressing to training. With the right support, guidance, and persistence, securing a training post is a totally achievable goal!
