The course has been developed for experienced coaches, operating at the level of Senior Practitioner (with EMCC Global or AC), PCC (with ICF), Level 7 (with ILM) or any other equivalent accreditation status.
Successful completion of the programme includes meeting all the EMCC Global training requirements for individual accreditation as a supervisor.
If they have accumulated sufficient practice hours (120), graduates will obtain the internationally recognised ESIA supervisor accreditation with EMCC Global.
The course fee includes the cost of accreditation.
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.
The programme is focused around 20 live, virtual training modules.
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.
Learners will also begin and end the course with a 1:1 tutorial with course faculty.
Supervision is safe space for reflective dialogue with a practicing supervisor, supporting the supervisee’s practice, development, and well-being.
Defining Supervision. Working with the Supervision Competence Framework.
Establishing a working alliance between supervisor and supervisee.
During Module 2, learners will record one of their supervision sessions.
Learners will provide feedback to each other on their recorded sessions.
Written feedback will be provided by a member of faculty.
Learners will collect feedback and use this to inform their ongoing learning objectives .
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.
Social learning is an important aspect of this course. Learners will meet informally, in small groups to present and discuss their work.
Since Session 1, learners have accumulated at least twenty hours of 1:1 supervision experience and are developing their personal style.
They have completed two facilitated reflective learning group meetings, provided feedback to each other on a recorded supervision session and are working on their 2000 word consolidation essays.
Learners have also submitted 10 reflective journal entries and participated in the online discussion forum.
If you wish to do so, you may choose to close down your practice supervision relationships after session sixteen. Or, you may decide to continue working together on a professional basis.
The programme does not require you to continue your 1:1 practice experience beyond this point, unless you need to log additional supervision hours.
During the final module learners will be preparing for graduation and their future practice as qualified supervisors. Learners will start collecting feedback from their supervisees and complete a process of personal self-assessment against the learning outcomes, with reference to the EMCC Supervision Competence Framework.
Learners will also complete their fourth and final reflective learning group session during this period.
During Module 6, learners will record another supervision session.
This will be reviewed by faculty and will play a part in the overall assessment of candidates, resulting in their graduation from the programme, and accreditation with EMCC Global.

We use world-class online learning platform which acts as a secure base for all the work that we do over the 12-month period.
All the handouts contained within the programme will be available here, along with homework assignments and space for community discussion.
The platform acts as a container for the learning journey undertaken by participants.
Each module gets unlocked at the right time, and all learner requirements are made
clear and visible.
Progress is indicated visually, and overdue tasks are highlighted.
Each module has a Community Discussion area where participants will share resources and reflections. Sessions are also followed up with a mini quiz.
The reflective journal activity is an important part of the process: during the second half of the programme, we encourage social learning by partnering participants with each other to review each other’s reflections.
Accreditation supports and regulates an individual’s ongoing professional practice and provides a focus for their ongoing development.
