Supervisor Training

Take our comprehensive course to fulfil the training requirements for accreditation as a supervisor*. Our unique approach to training is integrative and personalised, designed to enable you to develop your own informed and authentic voice as a supervisor. Our training is offered in 5 days or 10 half-days, followed by 10 hours of small group practice and a written and/or practical assessment, as required by your relevant association. If you are a practising supervisor seeking accreditation with your professional association or an experienced practitioner who wants to learn about supervision in an environment in which you can put your learning into practice, this course is for you. See full details of our Supervisor Training here 

We also offer an Advanced Supervisor Training Course for experienced supervisors who wish to build on the above foundations and extend their reflective, theoretical and experiential understanding.
