7. Education and Training
7.01 Design of Education and Training Programs
Psychologists responsible for education and training programs take reasonable steps to ensure that the
programs are designed to provide the appropriate knowledge and proper experiences, and to meet the
requirements for licensure, certification, or other goals for which claims are made by the program. (See
also Standard 5.03, Descriptions of Workshops and Non-Degree-Granting Educational Programs.)
Psychologists responsible for education and training programs have an obligation
to establish relationships of loyalty and trust with their institutions, students,
and members of society who rely on academic institutions to provide the knowledge,
skills, and career opportunities claimed by the specific degree program
(Principle B: Fidelity and Responsibility). Psychologists responsible for administering
academic programs must ensure that course requirements meet recognized
standards in the relevant field.
