Alternative Handbook 2024 launched to help prospective clinical psychology trainees

The Alternative Handbook is a guide to training courses for aspiring clinical psychology trainees, which is written and collated by our DCP’s Pre-qualification Group.

18 October 2023

It includes responses from current trainees to a number of questions which gives those considering a future in clinical psychology a flavour of what it is like to be a trainee on the courses offered in the UK.

This year's edition is the first to be published as an interactive webpage, allowing prospective trainees to easily access useful information, charts and tables on the courses they are interested in.

The data in the handbook has been collated from the responses of 1,070 clinical psychology trainees across 32 UK courses.

You can access the Alternative Handbook 2024 free via our website.
