What’s covered on the Accredited Diploma in Coaching Supervision?

The Accredited Diploma in Coaching Supervision takes our participants through a rich programme of learning that deepens as the course unfolds.

The best way to discover the content of the course is to download the course guide or explore the course page here.

However, to give you a bird’s eye view of the course content, the four modules and 20 sessions are covered briefly below.

Module 1 – Coaching Supervision Fundamentals #

This comprises 7 live sessions that introduce the core principles of supervision, how supervision goes beyond ‘coaching the coach’, skills for working as a supervisor and contracting for supervision relationships.

By the end of Module 1, you will already have practiced supervision in the live training and be ready to begin supervising coaches in the real world.

Module 2 – Deepening Practice #

The second module has 6 sessions. It expands on the range of perspectives applied in supervision by exploring each stage of the 7-Eyed Model in more detail as well as introducing perspectives from Transactional Analysis and Psychodynamic theory.

Module 3 – Group Supervision #

The third module focuses exclusively on supervising groups.

Throughout 3 sessions you will explore managing the life of a group, group dynamics and group supervision processes, with opportunities for group supervision practice in the safe but challenging environment of the live workshops.

Module 4 – Supervision in Context #

The final module comprises 4 live sessions. It explores real-world supervision challenges such as ethical dilemmas, issues of difference and cross-cultural practice as well as disruptions to the supervision relationship.

Additionally, it provides space for you to consider your emerging professional identity as a supervisor and the commercial next steps for growing your supervision practice.

All sessions use a rich blend of pre-reading, personal reflection, group discussion, experimentation and case studies to widen participants’ ability to respond in new ways within supervision.

This is the formal learning process, however one of the most important factors in this programme is the personal learning you will gain that is unique to you.

The course design enables you to learn about yourself in multiple ways:

  • your unconscious biases and beliefs that influence your coaching and supervision practice
  • your relationship approach within a collaborative learning space and what this might mean for you as a supervisor
  • your assumptions about the professions of coaching and supervision
  • your emotional attachments to client responses and behaviours
  • and much more that we could not and would not want to predict.

That is the mystery we look forward to you unlocking as you undertake your supervision journey!
