5 modules · 50+ hours · Dec 2025 curriculum
Around two to two-and-a-half hours of the real Boot Camp, made available so you can see how we work before you enrol. You'll come away with a clear picture of the exam and a study plan you can put to use straight away.
The NPE Decoded — structure, format and what examiners are really testing · the December 2025 curriculum update and what changed · how to build a personalised study plan around your domains and timeline.
Provisional and early career psychologists across the 5+1, MProfPsych, Doctorate and 4+2 legacy pathways, as well as internationally qualified psychologists whose bridging requirements include the National Psychology Examination.
Live, BAS-led delivery
The NPE Boot Camp is an exam-preparation program for provisional and early career psychologists sitting the National Psychology Examination — not a credential, and not a substitute for your supervised hours. It is cohort-based and delivered live by a Board-Approved Supervisor, so you can ask real questions, work through real vignettes, and build applied judgement alongside your peers.
Five modules and 50+ hours, with the readings, practice questions and support you need to sit the exam feeling well prepared.
One module per assessment area, mapped to the NPE blueprint — the structure of the exam, made teachable.
The published reference material the exam draws on, organised so you study the right things in the right order.
Case-based questions across all four domains so you rehearse applied judgement, not factual recall.
A complete timed run-through that mirrors the real format, so exam day feels familiar rather than foreign.
Psychometric tests and multimedia learning materials to reinforce concepts in more than one way.
A dedicated Placement & Learning Support team available throughout the program.
The National Psychology Examination tests applied judgement through case-based questions, not factual recall. The Boot Camp is built around all four assessment domains under the December 2025 curriculum.
The NPE's largest reasoning load. Vignettes test how you apply the PsyBA Code of Conduct — mandatory reporting, confidentiality limits, boundaries and dual relationships, record-keeping, and telehealth — under the December 2025 framework.
Cohort-based
You work through the five modules with a cohort and a Board-Approved Supervisor, scheduled across all Australian time zones. Because sessions are live, your questions get answered in context — and the readings, psychometric tests, multimedia and practice materials are available to revisit whenever you need them.
From study planning to the practicalities that come up along the way, the PALS team is your dedicated support across the program.
