The Association for Psychological Counseling (VpsyB e.V.) is proud to introduce the innovative certification system - the Psychological Counseling Education Accreditation System. This system aims to ensure and improve the quality of training courses in the field of psychological counseling.
Objectives and testing standards of the system

Our accreditation system ensures that all future psychological counselors are trained through a robust and accountable education system. This system has been specifically designed to ensure consistency and quality in training and to provide counselors with the best possible conditions for a successful career.
Commitment to quality and excellence
We are committed to fostering a culture of excellence and professionalism in psychological counseling through the Psychological Counseling Education Accreditation System. Our accredited programs are designed to develop highly skilled, ethical and competent counselors who play an invaluable role in promoting the well-being of their clients.
