The programme consists of four interconnected components: 
​
1. A theoretical programme with clinical seminars and workshops

2. Weekly individual clinical supervision
3. The completion, and presentation, of two training cases
4. Personal psychoanalytic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis

​The formal part of the Training consists of a three year programme of theoretical and clinical seminars. There is an emphasis on an integration of theoretical understanding with clinical practice. All aspects of the training have to be taken concurrently. Accompanying this programme, and as an extension to it, the Institute offers additional weekend seminars led by psychoanalysts and other senior practitioners in the field from New Zealand and abroad. Trainees are encouraged to seek membership of the Institute and PPAA after the successful completion of all the training requirements.
