FIRST PHASE

(Uploading the following documents into the Form by the deadline of each submission window)
Once availability has been confirmed by the affiliated hosting organization, the following documentation must be prepared and uploaded into the form within one of the designated submission windows.

1. TRAINING PROJECT
   The document must be completed digitally, and the final page must include:

• The hosting organization’s stamp on paper
• Full handwritten signatures of the intern, psychologist tutor, and legal representative of the organization.

Phases and Timeframes for Activities

This section must indicate the weekly schedule, specifying:

• Total weekly hours
• Start and end times for each day, agreed upon with the hosting organization and psychologist tutor.

It is essential to calculate carefully the "end" date of the internship, aligning it with the TPV period specified in the SUMMARY of the project (total weeks and weekly hours, ensuring completion of the total required TPV hours). Account for any pre-scheduled suspensions (e.g., structure closures, holidays for the intern or tutor).
A TPV hour simulation file is provided below for assistance.

1. ATTACH TO THE PROJECT
   (TPV Hour Simulation file)
2. SELF-DECLARATION FROM THE PSYCHOLOGIST TUTOR
   Include the tutor’s self-declaration document with their ID.

   Each psychologist tutor may supervise a maximum of 5 interns simultaneously for TPVs, regardless of the interns' universities or the number of organizations where the tutor operates.
3. CERTIFICATE OF GENERAL SAFETY TRAINING (4 HOURS)
   Refer to the provided link. The certificate obtained during a UNIFI undergraduate degree is valid. If specific safety training is required by the hosting organization, it must be delivered or recognized by that organization. However, the internship office requires only the general 4-hour safety certificate. Note: Safety courses organized by UNIFI are reserved for enrolled students.

SECOND PHASE

(Evaluation by Commission and notification via email to each intern)
The internal internship commission will review the uploaded documentation after the submission window closes. An email will be sent to each intern before the internship begins to confirm whether the documentation has been approved or if any additions, corrections, or clarifications are required.

The intern must forward the email from the Internship Office to the hosting organization and psychologist tutor to confirm that the internship has been approved and can officially start on the indicated date. 

Note: The office will not send emails directly to the hosting organizations or tutors.

THIRD PHASE

(Submission of original documents)
Only after receiving an approval email from stage@psico.unifi.it, the intern must send all original documents by registered mail with return receipt to:

Scuola di Psicologia - Segreteria Tirocini - Via della Torretta 16 - 50137 Firenze.

Alternatively, the intern may deliver the originals in person by booking an appointment via Google Calendar.

List of original documents to submit (with full handwritten signatures on paper):

• Training project (organization stamp and signatures of tutor, legal representative, and intern)
• Tutor’s self-declaration with a copy of their ID
• Copy of the intern’s ID
• Copy of the safety training certificate.

Incomplete documents or photocopied/non-original signatures will not be accepted.

FOURTH PHASE (Training Logbook)

Daily attendance and activities conducted during the TPV must be recorded in the training logbook.

• Download the training logbook online (includes Tutor's evaluation section).
• Activities may be filled out by hand or digitally, but all signatures must be handwritten (not scanned, photocopied, or digital).

At the beginning and end of each period, the organization stamp must be placed near the legal representative's signature.

At the conclusion of the period, the logbook must include the Tutor's evaluation with a fitness judgment for admission to the Practical Assessment Test (PPV) required for qualification as a psychologist. A stamp must also be placed near the tutor's signature.

Before submission, make a photocopy of the logbook and evaluation, as these may be required for the PPV application or for future purposes.
