Supervisor Training<\/h1>\n

April 2026 \u2013 April 2027<\/h2>\n

The purpose of this programme is to train, qualify and accredit coach supervisors.<\/h2>\n

Audience<\/h4>\n

\t\tThe course has been developed for experienced coaches, operating at the level of Senior Practitioner (with EMCC Global or AC), PCC (with ICF), Level 5 (with ILM) or any other equivalent accreditation status.\t\t<\/p>\n

Accreditation<\/h4>\n

\t\tSuccessful completion of the programme includes meeting all the EMCC Global training requirements for individual accreditation as a supervisor.
\nIf they have accumulated sufficient practice hours, graduates will obtain the internationally recognised ESIA supervisor accreditation with EMCC Global.
\nThe course fee includes the cost of accreditation.\t\t<\/p>\n

Process<\/h4>\n

\t\tWe apply an experiential learning approach combining taught input, reflection and dialogue, practice in a safe environment, detailed feedback, and experimentation with live clients.\t\t<\/p>\n

Course Overview<\/h2>\n

Course Timings<\/h4>\n

We have designed this programme to align well with the life of a busy professional. Training sessions are short and well-spaced over 12 months. We have chosen dates to avoid school holidays.<\/p>\n

Course Components<\/h4>\n

The programme is focused around 20 live, virtual training sessions.<\/p>\n

In addition to their ongoing practice, participants will maintain a learning journal, attend four facilitated reflective learning group sessions, submit and receive feedback on two recorded supervision sessions, participate in the online group discussion, write a 2000-word essay, review the essays of their learning group members, and carry out a final self-assessment exercise.<\/p>\n

Learners will also begin and end the course with a 1:1 tutorial with course faculty. NB: course design subject to change and adjustment over time – advertised content and process may be different from actual delivery.<\/p>\n

Supervision is safe space for reflective dialogue with a practicing supervisor, supporting the supervisee\u2019s practice,
\ndevelopment, and well-being.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

MODULE 1<\/h4>\n

FOUNDATIONS OF SUPERVISION<\/h2>\n

\t\tLearners will discover the basics of supervision. Learning groups will be established and will meet for the first time. Individuals will also pair up with each other to form practice supervision pairs and will start supervising each other in their own time. Reflective Journals will start and learners will contribute to the online community discussion forum.

    FUNCTIONS OF SUPERVISION<\/h2>\n

    \t\tThis module contains three sessions and a recorded supervision exercise. We introduce Proctor\u2019s three functions of supervision: Normative, Formative and Restorative. The intention is to establish and embed essential supervision skills by the end of the first term, so that learners are set up for success.

      Recorded Session<\/h3>\n

      During Module 2, learners will record one of their supervision sessions.<\/p>\n

      Learners will provide feedback to each other on their recorded sessions.<\/p>\n

      Written feedback will be provided by a member of faculty.<\/p>\n

      Learners will collect feedback and use this to inform their ongoing learning objectives .<\/p>\n

      2000 Word Assignment<\/h3>\n

      At the end of this module we introduce the 2000 word essay. This is a reflective exercise in which learners consider their supervision journey so far and consolidate their thoughts.<\/p>\n

      Social learning is an important aspect of this course. Learners will meet informally, in small groups to present and discuss their work.<\/p>\n

      MODULE 3<\/h4>\n

      THE RELATIONAL APPROACH<\/h2>\n

      \t\tHaving established basic supervision skills, we take a deeper dive into the psychological dimension of our work as supervisors. Our practice is rooted in the \u2018relational approach\u2019, drawing on psychodynamic theory and humanism. These sessions introduce essential knowledge for competent practitioners of supervision, and provide opportunities to apply it.
