In the context of these meetings, on Saturday 18 the seminar entitled "The supervision of professional competences within the framework of the European Psychology Certificate" was held, a practical workshop given by the psychologists José M. Peiró and José Ramos.
The objective was to address the professional competences included in the EuroPsy model, and to analyze the various descriptive indicators that allow to evaluate in a comprehensible and reasonably objective way.
The workshop was of great interest for all attendees, both for the relevance of its contents and for its approach and analysis, all in favor of the good quality of the EuroPsy Certificate.
