Program Overview
November 2018 - February 2019
The International Coach Supervision Training Program is designed for experienced coaches with an active coaching practice who already have a postgraduate qualification in Coaching, Psychology or equivalent.
The aim of the program is to provide highly experienced coaches with an opportunity to extend their competences and skills into the area of coaching supervision. The program is designed to use innovative and intellectually stimulating methods to take senior practitioners to a new realm of practice.
Participants will:
- Be introduced to different discourses of coaching, and engage with a high-level overview and critical analysis of the coaching field that will allow them to position their practice for the benefit of the coaching profession as a whole.
- Explore multiple perspectives on coaching in order to develop an approach to supervision that is professional, ethical and tailor-made for individual coaches using a wide variety of approaches.
- Be provided with an opportunity to enhance their understanding and develop advanced skills in order to address various issues of the supervision process.
The program consists of 2 stages
Stage A: Preparation Stage
Stage A consists of three months preparation during which participants undertake preliminary reading, reflection, peer-supervision and supervision practice. This stage is to be completed between November 2018 and February 2019.
The minimum reading will include specifically designed materials and selected chapters from the provided book: Bachkirova, T., Jackson, P. & Clutterbuck, D. (Eds), (2011) Coaching and Mentoring Supervision: Theory and Practice, Maidenhead: Open University Press.
Participants will be paired for peer-supervision (at least two sessions) according to provided guidance that will include tasks for reflection and preparation. In addition, they will be asked to deliver at least one supervision session for a volunteer coach.
Stage B: Intensive 4 day course. This face-to-face component will take place in New York in February 2019.
This intensive course will provide participants with the opportunity to explore and to start developing their own model of supervision by:
- Exploring conceptual issues, coaching discourses and theoretical perspectives on supervision
- Engaging with a deeper understanding of the supervision process and related issues
- Experimenting with a variety of skills essential for coaching supervisors
The course will engage participants in a range of innovative methods of study that include conceptual discussions, co-active reflection, experiential activities and group supervision. Participants are not initiated into a particular approach to supervision but are encouraged to experiment with the variety of approaches in order to identify their own model and style of supervision.
With the completion of further virtual components, participants may seek accreditation as a Coach Supervisor with Oxford Brooks University, the European Mentoring & Coaching Council as well as other professional associations, including the Association of Coaching Supervisors, the Association of Professional Executive Coaches and Supervisors.
