<strong>Workplace</strong> <strong>Based</strong> Assessment Requirements<br />
The learning needs of individual trainees will determine which competencies they need <strong>to</strong> be<br />
assessed in and the number of assessments that need <strong>to</strong> be performed; the College<br />
Assessment Programme’s eligibility structure should be regarded as a minimum number.<br />
Briefly, the number of WPBA’s stipulated in the Assessment Programme for CT1 and ST2&3<br />
is as follows<br />
Minimum Number required per year<br />
WPBA CT1 CT2 / ST2 CT3 / ST3<br />
Ace 2 3 3<br />
Mini-ACE 4 4 4<br />
CbD 2 2 2<br />
mini-PAT* 2 2 2<br />
Recommended Number per year<br />
WPBA CT1 CT2 / ST2 CT3 / ST3<br />
CP 1 1 1<br />
JCP 1 1 1<br />
DOPS<br />

*There will be 5 rounds of mini-PAT’s per year of which 2 must be completed<br />
The guidelines in the above tables should be regarded as the minimum number of<br />
WPBAs: many trainees will need <strong>to</strong> do more, for example <strong>to</strong> provide additional evidence of<br />
achievement in a particular area of professional practice. It is important <strong>to</strong> again note that<br />
there is no ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ score for WPBA.<br />
You must note that, since they form the basis for feedback and educational planning, you<br />
must arrange WPBAs at appropriate intervals throughout your training rather than leaving<br />
them until the end of each stage. In particular, we strongly suggest that within the early<br />
stages of each phase of training or clinical placement (i.e. within the first month) you<br />
undertake a mini-ACE or ACE and a CbD. This is because these <strong>to</strong>ols reflect closely the<br />
expected day-<strong>to</strong>-day work of a psychiatric trainee both in terms of the assessment of cases<br />
and clinical reasoning and judgement. The purpose of these early assessments is <strong>to</strong> identify<br />
what you are doing well and in which areas you need <strong>to</strong> develop. They contribute valuable<br />
information <strong>to</strong> the educational planning of your placement. Therefore it is most unlikely that<br />
assessments made early will produce ratings consistent with performance at the standard<br />
expected for the completion of the stage of training.<br />
Educational Supervisors Report / College Tu<strong>to</strong>r’s Report<br />
The Educational Supervisor’s Report and the College Tu<strong>to</strong>r’s Report will be submitted for<br />
consideration by the ARCP. It is the ARCP that validates the achievement of competence<br />
after considering the presented portfolio information. It is important <strong>to</strong> note that as the ARCP
