REGULATING PSYCHOLOGISTS IN NOVA SCOTIA SINCE 1980

I would like to ask for some clarification regarding eligibility to provide NSBEP supervision. The supervision handbook states that supervisors “should have at least two years of full time experience as a psychologist.” (p. 5). Does this mean two years of work as a fully registered psychologist? Or does one year of full time work as a candidate register psychologist count towards the two years?
