You will need to fill in the new application form, a 3,000-word autobiographical essay describing your reasons for wanting to train with IGAP, passport photos, and the application fee. Please see the link below for the Application Procedure.

IGAP makes no discrimination on grounds of nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation or political or religious persuasion. IGAP also makes no discrimination on grounds of disability. Our entry requirements are not set in stone, nor does fulfilling them guarantee a place on the programme. Life and work experience are always taken into account.

IGAP does not give automatic credit for prior learning with other training organisations. However, some credit may be given if the training has been with an IAAP member organisation, and analysis undertaken with an IAAP analyst.

Details of the application procedure, including our Appeals Guide, can be obtained from IGAP office or from the link below. This year (2026) our application window has been extended, and applications to join the programme must now be received by the office no later than 31st July. Each person who goes through to interview will meet with three IGAP analysts and an external reviewer, whose joint recommendation will be ratified by the IGAP membership, with a view to a January 2027 start for successful applicants.

Details about admissions, stages of preparation, and fees are available on the Overview of the Programme page.
