Overview
The Professional Certificate in Supervision is a programme where you learn by doing. You will engage in reflective practice throughout. You will be required to undertake coaching supervision during the course, and reflect on your learning. This will be supported by core content which will incorporate key supervision models and frameworks for working with individuals and groups. The approach adopted is one of an adult learning community and we aim to create a psychologically safe learning space where we can all learn together.
The programme is EMCC accredited and provides 35 ICF CCE credits (25 core competencies and 10 resource development).

The programme is conducted in English. An excellent level of English is therefore essential and proficiency testing may be requested.

The programme is taught through in-person workshops and live webinars. You will also have access to an online learning platform.
