A different way to prepare.

The National Psychology Exam rewards depth of understanding, not memorisation. Some candidates fall short because they try to memorise their way through a test rather than applying their psychological knowledge and understanding.

This course is built to fix that. Over seven weeks, a small live cohort works through all four NPE domains together — following the curriculum closely, making the underlying logic clear, and practising application through real discussion rather than passive reading.

It runs four times a year and is capped at 30 seats, so sessions stay genuinely discussion-based and nobody feels silly for needing something explained twice. This course is suitable for those doing the 4+2, 5+1, overseas, or returning to practice pathways.

Everything you need, in one place.

i.

30 hours of live sessions

Across seven weeks, covering all four NPE domains — Ethics, Assessment, Intervention, Communication. Curriculum followed closely, underlying logic made clear, questions answered in real time.

ii.

Practice questions, with discussion

90 practice questions worked through together as a cohort, with rationales discussed openly. The point isn't the answer; it's understanding the why. Two full mock exams (300 questions) are included. Additional questions scattered throughout the live sessions bring the total to over 400.

iii.

Learning, made interactive

Concepts are reinforced through study games that turn rote material into active recall. Designed to keep tedious study content memorable.

A room without judgement

Sessions are warm and patient. Questions welcomed without judgement. Access to an NPE Prep Course online chat group allows attendees to connect and support one another, as well as share resources.

Access until you pass

Recordings, slides, and quizzes stay available for as many sittings as it takes. No time limits, no extension fees. These course materials are yours until the exam is behind you.

This is my third attempt. I'm so happy I feel relaxed and confident going into the exam this time. I've always put a lot of effort into my studies — this course has given me hope that I just needed to find the right learning style.
Luana
I feel more educated and knowledgeable of the psychology discipline after completing this course with Dylan. I just wish I had completed this sooner — it would have helped my development in the role and for study prep.
