The approach

Built around live discussion, concise explanations and individual attention.

The National Psychology Exam rewards depth of understanding, not memorisation. Rather than handing you more to read, the course builds that depth the way it actually sticks — through live teaching, rationales discussed openly as a cohort, and the kind of attention only a small, capped group makes possible. It's preparation that feels less like cramming and more like finally understanding.

I was not getting this kind of information anywhere else and it was causing considerable panic and stress which has now subsided. I now actually feel confident to sit the NPE.

About

A short note from Dylan.

Portrait of Dylan Nicholls, Clinical Psychologist

In January 2023, I created the NPE Study Groups on Facebook out of a need for provisional psychologists to better navigate the overwhelming task of preparing for the NPE.

Over time, I realised what the field was missing: an online study group where candidates could ask questions in real time without feeling silly, discuss concepts in ways that actually stuck, and apply what they were learning through case studies and practice questions. Somewhere connected enough that nobody felt alone in preparing for the exam.

What I've built with the NPE Preparation Course is a live cohort where you can ask questions in real time, where rationales are discussed rather than narrated, and where the room is patient enough that nobody feels silly for needing things explained twice. It runs four times a year. Recordings stay available until you pass — for as many sittings as that takes.
