There is continuous monitoring of the trainee's progress by the Training Co-ordinators, and supervisors provide written reports. Several pieces of written work are required throughout the course, including a substantial paper which will demonstrate the student's ability to integrate clinical and theoretical material.

Each student is assigned a tutor with whom they can discuss their progress during the training. The emphasis throughout is on the development of a psychotherapeutic identity as demonstrated through clinical work.

Final Assessment of trainees is by the AIP Membership Group. Upon qualification, trainees become Members of the AIP.
